    Denver/GSW now called off - but we had to keep playing without a frontline. This is nonsense.

    This is one of the few games this season that I care if we win or not.

    Going to be weird watching the game from home! Maybe I will partake in the always amusing game thread that I read after the game.

    I can only see two reasons for the Blazers to be playing these games. They are conducting tryouts and/or they are trying for the lottery.

    Ya, there have been a few. Steve Blake, Meyers, Andre Miller, Jamal Crawford to name a few. Shit Pritchard and Penn were always on here back when I first joined.

    As for the poll, Russell Westbrook.

    Oh, my mistake, I thought it said replacement-level players. Never mind.

    Overall I like the 10-day guys better than the refuse Olshey signed on his way out the door. I'll take young and hungry over old and washed; the latter having always been Olshey's failed M.O. Meanwhile we all scratched our heads wondering how other teams were finding diamonds and we never did.

    I'm so relieved to be rid of that grifter.
