If only you'd accept my friendship. We're both 'high-maintenance'. Anyhow, the one time I'm a complete Blazer homer and try to put a shine on things, I get posts deleted. That's not really irony, but it's something. Poetic justice, perhaps?
Not so. I don't need expensive things to keep me happy. Well, I suspect you're trying to get a rise out of a certain someone, but I understand your good cheer. The bane of your (sports) existence is off the team. Steve Blake, thou art avenged! BLANKY ain't coming back, though. He's too busy being a winner for winning teams.

Portland Trail Blazers: A- The Blazers gave up two good players to get two good players. Felton will be an improvement over unhappy Andre Miller.... http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...es-which-team-got-best-of-raymond-felton-deal
Yeah, I can't get that excited that a fan felt the Blazers did great. That fan is entitled to his opinion, but it's equivalent to a post on this forum.
Here are a few more....Not good reviews however.... http://basketball.realgm.com/article/214377/Grading_The_Draft_2011_Edition Kelly Dwyer http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ba...t=AhXnu89GK5Fq5S4q2XrCg6i8vLYF?urn=nba-wp5536 Marc Spears http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_y...lug=mc-spears_nba_draft_winners_losers_062411 SB Nation http://www.sbnation.com/nba-draft/2011/6/24/2241130/nba-draft-grades-2011 Sean Deveney http://aol.sportingnews.com/nba/sto...d-class-jan-vesely-shelvin-mack#ixzz1QE6qhYS4 NBC Sports http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports....for-all-30-teams-yes-we-know-it-is-too-early/
Miller sucked and is old. Felton is young and sucks now. Felton may improve, Miller won't so shut the fuck up.
The greatest draft review of the Blazers of all time! [video=youtube;DkxePs7cjkw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkxePs7cjkw[/video]
Stephen Smith was pathetic. I like to think that those stupid opinions are part of the reason he's no longer a commentator on the NBA draft. Ed O.
