not gonna happen. You know that right? you need to have success in the fire olshey thread in oder to have success in the trade cj thread.
Cj has been hurt and cleared for contact and we still can't get one update on Collins. Its unreal. Lmao.
anybody else notice that the 'welcome back CJ' picture is him practicing dribbling between his legs. That's what Portland has been missing...fancy dribbling I can't wait till Dame, CJ, and Melo develop that 'it's-my-turn-it's-your-turn-it's-his-turn-one-on-one-dribble-the-shot-clock-away' synergy the Blazers had with Dame, CJ, and Turner. Miss those days. Making it even better will be listening to Jordan Kent gush about it
I've listened to 5 minutes of Jordan Kent and he just doesn't fit. At all. He's easily the worst of the last 3 and it's not close. Just no flow. And in all the highlights he might as well be reading the ingredients from a top Ramen wrapper. He does nothing for the broadcast but hinder it. Hopefully we have a new play by play guy in a year or two.
Kent belongs at the college level. That's his wheel house. He has no business being at the pro level.
The radio broadcast has been better than courtside broadcasts for a long time....Wheels was awesome....Michael Holton has become really, really good and Travis calls the game very clearly...I only hear Kent and Hurd when I watch youtube replays after the games...Kent is a rookie....Hurd is fine with me.
There are times when Kent comes off as a former football player who got his job because he was a former football player whose dad was the coach of the university that he went to, and no one wants to tell him he sucks. And to boot he sounds like someone who is religious and the dirtiest word he can say is "drat"
