    Fun game, and the fans that were there were real into it, by my god there were so many empty seats tonight. Just a few weeks ago the place was near full, tonight, not so much

    F Nicolas Batum reaggravated his right wrist when he blocked J.J. Barea's shot in the fourth quarter.

    Wait until he starts playing a lick of defense before you start saying things like that.

    Yeah, why did he sign a huge guaranteed contract, knowing his knees were shot.

    I don't take the meds on the weekend, but what did I say that was so bad?

    Leonard proving he can run and dunk is something we all knew

    The love for Roy in this forum kills me. Yes he was a really good player, but he pretty much stole money from the franchise

    Kersey comment obviously not what are talking about.

    Sad to say, I agree with this sentiment. As much as I appreciate what Roy did, his 'salvation' of the franchise is way overblown. Then there was his contract, which was daylight robbery and nearly franchise crippling. Even the Blazers knew his wheels were going to come off but they were blackmailed by the media and the fans to give into Saint Brandon. The fact Brandon pulled an even bigger con on the T-Pups is hilarious, though. It's all about the $$.

    No one forced the Blazers to offer him that contract.

    Before he came into the league, I called Ricky's ceiling as a mix between Rondo and Kidd. I can totally see that happening. He's still only 22. And I've been watching him since his days with DKV-- the dude can d up.

    I don't get this way of thinking. We weren't forced to offer him that contract, management came out and even admitted they knew about his knees. He wasn't injured when given the contract and who could have guessed we wouldn't even get a good year out of him from him. Every other team would give the RoY and 2x allstar the same contract. Management gambeled on Roy and Oden, they hit on a 15 and a king came out and we all know the history.

    Well as a business owner I can see mm's point. But then I look at how Roy helped turn the franchise of barely bringing in fans and having hardly any national attention, to actually being relevant and filling the stadium, jersey sales and being respected once again. Roy earned every penny.
