    I remember a Q and A with Casey a while back and he said Lamarcus was only close to a couple of teammates and a lot of our old core didn't hang out as much as folks thought after games or practice. He didn't invite Joel Freeland or Meyers to hang out off season and work out together. I love seeing this culture change. This is why Kaman is good for the team. He seemed to joke and bond with everyone and Wes seemed to as well..beyond that, it's a new era in Portland.What I'm happiest about is that the new guys are buying into the culture Dame seems to be cultivating. What we are seeing with the new roster is rare is sports to say the least. It's a sign of good things to come this season.

    He is! These other quotes were very telling too.

    "I get my workout then I disappear or I lift separate from everybody else," said Lillard. "I think I’m a star.... If one of these dudes come in here and try to yell at me, I don’t know how I’d respond to it."

    I think it's either an ascott or he can't tie a real bow tie

    This kind of shit is exactly what portland fans deserve. Lillard is gold. He wants his team to be great and everyone is buying in. I still think we surprise the fuck out of this league, but please, keep expressing your doubts, keep tossing gas on these flames.

    Big props to leonard and CJ to set aside ego and lead by following.

    This one looks like it is coming back at Kaman

    Okay, maybe not what he should be working on, but . . . wow

    This is really impressive to see them all out there; even the old guy Kaman, the guy must really love basketball. And I like that.

    I'm a real Kaman fan since he's been here! To me he's worth every penny for his role. He's a leader with a sense of humor..always a good thing...good to see you posting UKRAINEFAN!

    I like to see them playing, but I really like to see them banging hard while playing. Looks like there is some good contact going on. And this is a group of pretty big, strong guys. Hoping Kaman is teaching a lot during this time. So many could learn from him.
