    PTI is going to do a feature on the 3 goggles in the next 5 to 10 minutes. They teased it, and already admitted they don't know who started it but it's "sweeping through" the college ranks. Funny. Time to put these "goggles" to bed, Portland!

    I think our three goggles need a new prescription.

    I think we should be banned from doing them until you know, we actually learn to make 3 point shots.

    How do you do a star-wars hand gesture? - to suggest lazer eye surgery, of course.

    Jon Barry/Houston Rockets' 3 pt celebration hand sign was the funniest. They'd be throwing it up after EVERY 3 made in big time games back in the 2005 playoffs. Can't find any pics of it but they'd make the "OK" hand sign very much like the 3 pt goggles but hold it down at their waist like they're following through throwing a bowling ball.

    Hey, they must be working. We're no longer dead last in the league in 3FG%. We've moved all the way up to 22nd at 0.345. Unfortunately, there is only one team who shoots the 3-ball worse than the Blazers that has launched more long distance bricks - the Clippers.
