    The Blazers suck. Sincerely, why are you a fan of this team again? You should be go cheering on the flawless Thunder and cream yourself over their GM and great player in Durant.

    A non move is a move. One that he thought would better secure his job. You can agree with the move or not, but it's still a move he made to secure his job.

    The only reason any of us do anything work wise is to secure our jobs.

    The only reason Brandon Roy tries to score, rebound and assist is to secure his job.

    The only reason you play shitty music at teenage parties is so you can... can... um.... so you can.... um.....

    Actually why the fuck do you do that?

    I don't get it. Mixum has been saying for 2 years how bad KP is, but then says Miller and Camby are the reason Ptd is winning. I'm pretty sure KP had something to do with Camby and Miller coming to Ptd . . . so KP is bad for making moves that help the Blazers win????

    He used the cap space from RLEC to sign Andre Miller, one of the guys keeping the team afloat according to you.

    Making things up and repeating it "a billion times" is definitely a new type of fact.

    We're here to talk.

    So, we've been winning because of Miller and Camby, not Roy and LA. However, we won plenty of games last year without Miller or Camby. Have Miller and Camby won any games without Roy and LA? If we replaced Roy and LA in the rotation with Webster and Howard (giving spot minutes to Cunningham and Pendergraph), how many of the last 12 games would we have won?

    Isn't it possible that all of our starters are contributing to wins, which is why they're starters? Isn't it possible that we'll replace Camby and/or Miller with other starting-caliber players when they are no longer with the team? Can't we just enjoy how the team is playing now rather than kvetch about how things might be in a couple years?

    There's an old saying--Don't borrow trouble. There's enough to worry about today. You might want to consider it, Mixum.

    If/When the Blazers do win a championship, it'll be at least a year too late.

    As a poster on this internet forum, I for one don't give a fuck either way.

    Watching you melt down in your threads is actually a nice diversion for the serious business that is Zers basketball.

    I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say.

    Now, where was I...? Oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

    In the business of radio, ratings define success. Higher ratings, more advertisements sold. Achieve higher ratings by being controversial, polarizing. You don't even have to believe your own bullshit as long as it's the kind of bullshit that gets people buzzing, pissed off, calling the show, tuning in. Rudy is in radio. Rudy is honing his craft at the expense of all of us. He's using us. Stop feeding him. He's just a poor man Canzano.
