    This thread was just what I needed. Now I can go enjoy this nice day instead of playing poker and reading forums.

    You didn't get my PM earlier where I said I'd break your legs if you didn't get some fresh air?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Rubio is better than Aldridge right now, and is younger.

    We get to dump Oden's disappointment.

    This allows Miller to further his career. Minnesota is closer to winning a playoff series than Portland.

    Love is just filler.

    I do this deal. Yes, please.

    I don't even know where to begin ... However, suffice it to say that I can and will resist.

    I'm pretty sure he's not serious. At least, that's the way I'm taking this post.

    Lamarcus should play better defense anyway and Andre I can't stand lately, especialy when he refuses to pass to Rudy.

    A) you want to trade LMA for Love ... because you think LMA should play better defense ... Okaaaaaayyyyyyy.

    B) Andre refuses to pass to Rudy? Well if that is in fact true I guess it means he's seen his shooting percentages.

    Oh right, you were the guy advocating waiving Miller. I remember now.

    This kind of thread - is good reason to establish a minimum IQ for qualification to post on message boards!

    Can you explain to me Armon not playing? Andre Miller could even be a great player but Armon should play and if you only want Rudy and Patty they both can be our shooting guards. Batum, Mathewss is one of the best SF rotations we ever had. Then you have LMA who seems to not care about defense but can you argue with 40 and 11? and Dante that only plays defense but nails the open jumper and can offensive-rebound and garbage score, Joel can do these things without even jumping and I've never seen Chris Johnson but if Camby doesn't come back even he will do.
    This is a great team but we still lose when we play Chris Anderson, we can't beat Chris Anderson cause we don't believe in ourselves and if we believed in ourselves we could beat the Nuggets even with Roy and Oden in street-clothes and you know what, even with Armon Johnson waiving towels.
    And you know another what, I didn't even see both games, only highlights, but if we can beat the Spurs and can't beat the Nuggets it could be fatigue, it could be altitude, it could be Chris Andersen but these could also be excuses, we can't beat the Nuggets because we don't care enough and don't try hard enough. /And yes, when it was important for us to send a message against the Spurs we did and we could also beat the Spurs in the reg-season and then lose in the first round but even if we beat the Spurs, don't you think the road to championship goes even through Chris Andersen? Even through the mile-high stadium? If we meet them in the 2nd-round they have home-court advantage, if it's impossible for us to win there, are we even deserving of a championship?

    We lose to Denver on the second of a back to back were we had great moment tell Mathews injures himself and never regains his swagger... Yea we should just quit now. Aldridge doesn't play defense even though i'm pretty sure defense isn't just about rebounding because you know Klove can rebound like there is no tomorrow but can't guard a one legged arthritic kid... BLOW IT UP THE SHIP IS SINKING EVERYONE TO THE LIFE BOATS WOMEN AND CHILDREN LAST!

    What is with this obsession with Chris Andersen? You're making it sound like he's Lebron James or something. :dunno:

    Sorry to burst your bubble but this team is a lot of things, but "Great" is not a word I would use to describe them. And "believing in ourselves" (whatever that means) is a poor substitute for health, talent and depth -- all three of which are in short supply right now.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I have to say the "Chris Andersen"-laced epic really livened up my day.

    Best part: "it could be fatigue, it could be altitude, it could be Chris Andersen but..."

    I'm pretty sure it was Chris Andersen. Chris Andersen has been inside this franchise's head ever since Bill Walton went down in 1977-78. Chris Andersen has cost this franchise several championships over the years.
