    I won't have to worry about getting that pinwheel tattoo when then Blazers win a championship anymore.

    No, I said "Silver Lining." Not "huffing glue."

    The only thing I can think of is they say his left knee is stronger now than it was before he had micro fracture surgery on it and hasn't seemed to be a problem for him. Hopefully the same now happens with the right knee.

    And in the meantime the Blazers will look to try and discover adamantium.

    Any chance of trading Oden for Chris Paul has gone to a negative percentage. It was already at 0% with Paul and the Hornets doing really well and it being a pipe dream in general even if Paul was disgruntled, but now, we no longer have to keep thinking to ourselves that Paul for Oden and some extra pieces will be a decent deal for the Hornets.

    perhaps this will be all too much for Larry miller and he quits to pursue other ventures.

    Yeah, you're right. But at least we don't have to see ridiculous trades now (of which I sure I am guilty of as well).

    How about this, tank 2011?
