    Those three videos moved me. And I'm not easily moved. Really a tremendous effort. Is that guy Brandon Mitchell on this forum? If so, I'd rep him until I had to spread some around. And then I'd spread some around, just so I could rep him to the max again.

    Defintely. I gotta look for a tweet from him a couple days ago that just speaks to his character and loyalty to those who have helped.

    Here it is:

    And

    That's just cool. He may have initally wanted to go back home... but this most definitely feels like a second home for him, I think.

    Repped like a boss. The Blazers should be using your videos to pump the crowd up.

    I dunno, his black tie and red pocket square make me think he knew all along he was coming here.

    I sure am glad you made the transition to this forum. This really is the best forum for the Blazers.

    You can only rep once per post, so keep posting and I'll keep repping! Seriously, these videos really amp me up.

    You silly billies, he's trying his hardest not to cry because he's so happy to be a lottery pick. You can see in one of his draft videos, or just watch the "something to cheer for" video I just posted.

    Love the pinwheelempire videos! They fucking rock! Best Blazer videos, hands down.

    Just thought I'd add a couple other highlight videos, namely LMA's highlights. If these have been shared already, I apologize for being a noob.

    Game 1:

    [video=youtube;dtsf8S154Cw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtsf8S154Cw[/video]

    Game 2 (I love hearing the crowd's reactions every time he rises up and then buries a shot):

    [video=youtube;fpcn-LhkJe0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpcn-LhkJe0[/video]

    In Game 2, we were set up very well to attack Howard guarding Aldridge at the start of the game. We pulled him to the 3 point line by having LMA set a ball screen for Dame. When Howard hedged to stop Lillard, he was like a fish out of water trying to get back to LMA as he shot open jumpers. At the same time, we had Lopez hanging on the opposite block in the event that his man rotated to help with Dame or LMA. The Rockets had to pick their poison with Dame coming off a ball screen, Lopez waiting under the rim for a pass, or LaMarcus flaring out to wide open space for a jumper, and they picked LMA. WRONG!

    I hadn't seen that particular angle on the '3' where Aldridge lost the ball, got it back and then buried the '3' over Howard. Look at his heels. Shades of Sean Elliot/Memorial Day Miracle shot.

    His heels look out of bounds but he shoots it off his toes so they never come down and touch the out-of-bounds line.

    Inches....

    When I saw that shot live I yelled out "Easter Day Miracle!" My wife thought I was nuts.
