    I'm just about done here. I'd rather be playing Skyrim right now.

    Felton is garbage.

    The Blazers have no leader. This is the most apparent thing I am taking from this game. Especially on the road, a team needs a court leader to focus the offense, calm the effort, and direct the flow of the game. The Blazers have no one like that at all. The absence of B-Roy is really felt in games like this. LaMarcus, for all the player he is, is not a leader. Wallace is not a leader. Felton is not a leader. This team is in big, big trouble against good teams.

    I kind of figured this would be the story of the year. Basically same as every, solid home team, can't do shit on the road. We need a player like we had in Roy who was able to be a baller even away from the Rose Garden. Basically a star/superstar player.

    I am a foo foo drink guy. Last night I mixed some Whipped cream vodka, Malibu Rum, Godiva chocolate liquor, some Grenadine, a banana and ice


    Maybe the best thing ever. It tasted exactly like a banana split

    They're not as bad as you're making them out to be. It is just one bad game in the first week of a weird ass season.

    I guess I had a similar feeling ... kind of why I wanted to see them do a major youth movement and overhaul the roster. C`est la vie'

    Heady play by Camby. This team needs to start playing like they care.

    Great hustle by Camby. We need more of that to get back in the game.

    They say the leader sets the tone for the team

    Roy was a warrior

    If I were Nate, I would put in Williams and Nolan Smith. It could be something that either gives the team a spark, or at worse, lets the players he replaced know this shit won't be tolerated, and they can be replaced

    Aldridge seemed to really step up his game during Roy's absence last year. He can do it again...or should be able to...right?
