    "The Oregonian is saying they only knew about it from NBA.com and will not post a link directly to the Q & A thread in the forum.

    We're getting no credit for it and I think we should, it's your guys great questions that has made this go viral." -sly


    O-Live is still butthurt that all the great and prolific posters migrated here...personally i think everyone here should create monikers with S2 incorporated into it and post links to S2 threads...

    Or maybe they refuse to give any credit here because Sly posts entire articles from Canzano etc without linking the original source.

    nah, Sly always credits original authors. Doesn't require a link if you site the source.

    Re: Do The Blazers players read the forum?

    I notified the Blazers about this and they agree that we could be cited better than Oregonian links to NBA.com links to us.

    We are certain to be doing more Q&A with players and staff on an ongoing basis.

    The first question everyone should be asked is, "do you read RipCityTwo.com?"

    They might. When I've done shows and TV, I've always read what people say about me on message boards. I like knowing for better or worse.

    Re: Do The Blazers players read the forum?

    It seems like human nature. I think I would be pretty curious about what people were posting if I was an NBA player. OK to read it, I guess, if you don't take the posts too seriously.

    Re: Do The Blazers players read the forum?

    I always include a link to the article. I do post the entire articles of Canzano and Quick because they're both so despised on here it's the only way I can get people to read them. You would be surprised at the number of people who flat out refuse to click on a link to a Canzano or Quick article.

    I can tell you that I haven't clicked on either one for probably 3 years. They both make me want to barf.

    Re: Do The Blazers players read the forum?

    Not surprised, a lot of people on here prefer the Mike and Mike sunshine and rainbows approach to the Blazers. Canzano and Quick rely on controversy over fallacy because it sells newspapers and probably because they cannot properly do their job because they have been excommunicated.

    If anyone should still be pissed it should be the Blazer fans, Paul Allen created a shell company, defaulted on a loan because he refused to back it, did everything he could to avoid repaying his lender, TIAA-CREF who handles the retirements for teachers, thanks Paul for trying to rob teachers while you cruise on your giant ass yacht and submarine. He then tried to sell the team or in all likelihood move the team to Seattle.

    The Blazers have had some bad luck but they have also been run like shit since Allen took over as owner.
