Here is what makes me happy. This team has Greg Oden at the worst he will probably ever play in his career, and a horrifible coach and they are still a fun team to watch and they win. What makes me happy is that in a year or two when Oden is going good and Nate is coaching the Thunder things are going to get really good.
And the jumbo-trons must really be good HD shit because they looked good on my low-def NBA League Pass feed tonight! And oh yeah, I am now positive that Rudy has eyes in the back of his head too!
Fuck this thread! I want to see some craziness! Do you think I started to hang out with another teams fanbase because you were all even keeled fans?!? Hell no!!! I wanna see some fucking blood!!!!
He's getting $13 mil to hang out on his farm with his family? Maybe he could earn a tiny amount of that money by teaching Channing footwork or something?
AHA!!! Now . . . finally . . . I understand why DaRizzle posts here so much! Finally. Good choice - you picked one very fickle bunch!
After his shoulder surgery (since he'll be out at least until March) apparently Pritchard told him he could do it here in Portland or at home in Iowa. Since I don't think he could teach Channing footwork without moving his upper body/shoulder area and he hasn't even been cleared to run yet (he is just doing stationary bike etc) he wouldn't be much use. I don't begrudge him for spending the rehab in Iowa. He's got young child and his family usually stays in Iowa during the season I believe. This gives him time to see hid kid grow up while rehabbing. Since Raef has been the ultimate professional his whole time here I've no problem with it. Because he is paying me half of that 13 million to support him in public! GO ME!
On Monday nights you can see a little bit of the MNF game in HD on the jumbotron if you show up early enough and the quality is amazing.
LMA was awesome. It really sucked to have wasted that performance on a loss. I mean, it was the best offensive performances of our top 2 all season long. Sucks to lose a game like that.
Easily the best inside/outside game I've seen from LMA all season. Huge dunks, great jumpshots and some solid defense. I really hope this is the start of a scoring tear for him since we need to get away from shooting so many 3-pointers.
Orlando is a good team that is better coached that we are. It's not a horrible thing to lose to them at home. If it happens with the Clippers or the Kings then we should be concerned.
Hey DaRizzle, Get the hell out of this thread! Some people are ready to slit there wrists over this loss. Do you want that on your head?
Now we don't have to listen to some people complaining about how if it wasn't for a MIRACLE SHOT by Brandon in Houston we'd have one more loss? We have a center who's already as good as Bynum - and his name is Przybilla? New rules change - if you don't call "bank", it doesn't count, so we win?
