    TRob has been his nickname for a while dude. I think we should just go with that.

    I really think he should get a new one moving to a new city, new fans, new team. It's like when a GM comes to a new team he wants to make it his own. That's the way it should work.

    How about a no?

    not only is that a lame nickname, maybe we should let him play a few games in a Blazers uniform before he's given anything.

    I just hope whenever he blocks a shot or throws down a dunk they have a video of him being Mr Robinson (eddie murphy)

    What is LaMarcus' nickname? If we've stuck with LMA for 7 years that is fine in type but stupid to say; well TRob should be more than fine.

    Did you see him rip down that board? Throbinson is a real hulk.

    Maybe if Leonard grows some balls we can have a duo nickname of the "clean up crew" coming off the bench.

    Nah, MyLe's already part of a bench duo. He and Freeland are "Pinky and The Brain"--care to guess which one is which?

    What a bizarre thing to say. Why do you think Leonard is a coward? I've seen no evidence of it.

    I mean that as in he doesn't play like a 7'1 250 man should play. It's like he is afraid of contact down-low when it comes to grabbing rebounds, scoring put backs, and what not. I just want to see the moves and mindset of a traditional big man coming from him.

    I don't see him having fear of contact. We're not talking about a guy who floated on the perimeter like our other big man.

    Yup.... that's a guy who is afraid of contact..... I would love to see you try to dunk on DeAndre Jordan.

    If I were 7'1" with a 36" vert, I would.
