    Chris Haynes ‏@ChrisBHaynes
    Terry Stotts says they're taking a philosophical approach to offense right now. Says it'll be another wk or so b4 implementing real offense.

    When you're as active as Batum is it doesn't really matter and those carbs are probably necessary. For someone who is sitting at a desk all day, yes, I agree.

    Ask them how many NBA championship banners they've seen raised by the Blazers.

    What does that have to do with this? You are arguing just to argue.

    Surprising that MB hasn't released a blog post about the first few days of camp.

    (His glowing camp report)

    A. Is this true/serious

    B. Who did he get the offense from, I mean is this just based off tape watching Sacto or do we have an assistant who worked under Adelman as well?

    A. True

    B. I'm not sure. It sounded more like tape. He said that of all the successful teams he enjoyed watching them the most, so he is implementing a lot of that offense

    Great! If we can turn Babbitt into Peja, LMA into Webber, Leonard into a Brad Miller/Vlade clone, have Wes assume the Doug Christie role (without Jackie) and keep Lillard from turning into too much of a Bibby, then we've got Pure Gold, Jerry!

    Passing? Cutting? MOVEMENT?
