    I understood him perfectly fine. I'm glad he said what he said, as he's right. It is BS that the league allows this crap to happen. And I realize it might sound like I'm trying to pull a fast one and suddenly side with ET, but I'm siding with the coach. He had the balls to say what 95% of NBA fans feel. It's beyond a joke now.

    How the Clippers can pay all their players with big money? I mean, we have Jody why can she do it?

    The Blazers are supposedly for sale. Clearing out used inventory, and awaiting several brand new models. The new owner will get the opportunity to find high horsepower players on the market, and raise checkered flags across the lot.

    In theory, she can...

    You have to have players that are worth that type of money first. That is the biggest issue right now.

    As long as you don't mind paying luxury tax, you can players any amount you want. Ballmer is probably the richest owner in the NBA as well.

    As of today, Ballmer is the richest team owner in all of sports worldwide.

    Wemby triple double in 21m. Pistons fans are boiling after seeing what could have been their pick, but the NBA gave them #5 instead.

    Curious when people point out the FT differential in games. I swear on everything when they bitch in the game threads on here about our Blazers.....if you look.....we are taking stupid iso fade away 18 footers all game long. You aren't going to get those calls on that shit. People need to actually look at the game play. You damn well know that the refs reward teams that take it to the hoop. Dame would get 5 phantom calls a game whenever he was patient and just took it to the rack.

    Cavs wailing on the Nets in Paris.

    The Blazers should get that game next year vs. Spurs. Give our international kids a chance to shine against Wemby.

    NBA draft going to be 2 nights ..... WTF are they thinking ?

    This makes zero sense unless they want to expand the draft to 3 rounds and maybe make the 3rd round kind of a G-League thing like these guys have a reserved spot on a g-league team if they want it. However the more I think about it not even sure that makes sense but at least there would be a reason to do it unlike now.

    Didn't realize it was live. Not much of a fight though.

    I would LOVE to see my beloved Blazers in Europe. I am currently 0/3 in the US, maybe it would help over here
