    This place was absolutely ecstatic when that trade was made. Same with when Norm signed his contract.

    I'm pretty sure more than half of this place was really unhappy with that deal because of the plan to replace Gary at SF with a smaller Powell and because so many of us had become fans of Gary and had nothing invested in Norm. Pretty much everyone was ecstatic and should have been when Norm re-signed and did so on such a team friendly contract because a lot of us were really worried that Norm would bolt and we would have traded a guy we really loved in Gary for nothing.

    Also weren't you at Blazers Edge when that trade went down?

    Or perhaps has has more to do with than just shooting. Look at Trent's OBPM, DBPM, BMP and VORP. All significantly higher this year than at any other time in his career. OWS, DWS, WS and WS/48.....career highs.
    It appears the overall, big picture grass is actually greener. Sometimes it is, sometimes it's not.

    No. I had an account there under another name but i have not really used it for a very long time. I pretty much got slammed for not agreeing with that Dave dude?
    As far as your response I'm very sure i could pull up way more people praising the trade than there were people saying anything negative. The people who were questioning it were all saying he was going to walk because blazers couldn't afford him. There were even polls on that issue.

    Not sure it's been mentioned anywhere but the team is currently doing a ticket sale for groundhogs day. All fees are waived for any tickets purchased by 2/4, so they are saying.

    ...you'd think tickets would be free (only pay the fees) since it's felt like ground hogs day around here for a very long time now :sigh:

    Fave Fitch memory: when he was hired to coach an abysmal Clippers team and one game he got pissed off with them and just picked the first 5 guys off the bench just in the order they were sitting and subbed them in. Staged a massive comeback (but, this being the Clippers, still lost).

    The Suns lost tonight to Atlanta, a team that is trending upward though still below .500 at 25-26. Atlanta has won 8 out of the last 9.

    With their overtime win over the Bulls tonight, the Raptors have won 8 of the last 10 at home. The two teams they lost to - Portland and Phoenix.
