Mixum just posted this on Oregonlive, lol! He was just on WFAN in NY. Mike Francesa was saying the bLazers look good. When Barkley was asked about them... he said "i dont like the blazers... they have no big men." He was the asked about oden. "the blazers obviously have no faith in greg if they didnt extend him" and then said the lakers, jazz, and thunder will be the top 3 in the west. he even said "the blazers arent going anywhere" http://www.oregonlive.com/forums/blazers/index.ssf?extlink?artid=3492533 Poor guy, you know he is just dying to post that on here so I thought I'd make his day and post it for him.
No big surprise, Barkley has always beat on the Blazers for being a jump shooting team. I just don't see the big deal about calling a spade a spade.
Barkley has invested so much in his "Blazers have no big men" drivel that he can't see the forest for the trees. Within the next month, the Blazers should get both Oden and Przybilla back. Two 7 foot centers and two 6-11 PFs seems pretty well stocked with bigs to me.
The Blazers didn't extend Oden, therefore he doesn't count in Barkley's world. So subtract one 7 foot center from that.
I think it's funny that you guys are actually trusting that Mixum is being completely accurate in what Chuck said.
Who gives a fuck. About Mixum saying it elsewhere, or the shock of Barkley saying something he's said for 3 years now.
Barkley has bashed Portland for a while about low post play. What he fails to recognize is that OKC and Utah have nothing resembling an inside threat either. Where I do agree with him is that Portland isn't going anywhere, but I don't think the others are either.
I agree with OKC having absolutely no inside game, but you can't say that about the Jazz. Al Jeff is a beast!
Charles is 100% right. This team playing nate ball and shooting all jumpers is going to get the blazers a first round exit again. Nate ball looks good when those jumpers are falling but the problem is they usually don't fall in a 7 game series when you have a guy right in your face every possession and on the other end your opponent is shooting 2 footers. Without a healthy ODEN in the inside as a scoring threat this team is a 1 and done. And yes charles did say this I get the YES network
Do you mean to tell me a fat, has-been, alcoholic, gambling addict doesn't think the Blazers are going anywhere this season? I guess it must be true. Mixum just won the internet. He managed to troll two different forums with the same posting. Impressive!
