    In case you haven't been paying attention to currrent events, I think it already has been "Blaking" all season long, minus a game here or there. :biglaugh:

    Lets consider the source... Dwight Jaynes. An out of work newspaper columnist. He's probably just trying to get some attention for his little website and his fill in role on The Game.

    I am sorry, I have been flying around the country so much in the last couple of weeks, that it is hard to keep track.

    I started to laugh when I saw that Nate needed surgery, I wanted to cry when I read that Greg had to.

    Oh well.

    Time for this team to get back to kicking some butt now that they are in familiar "no one believes in us" situation.

    Exactly. Why trade Bayless, unless it means bringing something young and good in return?

    It was on his cock.

    He probably thought he needed surgery because of the pain, but then the Dr's told him it was phantom pain beecause he had no cock

    Right, I think I'm going to go with Blake's number being retired in the rafters for being part of the perennial one and done 2009 -2020 teams. I wouldn't count on it. I have given up on seeing a championship in Portland during my life time.

    We would need a miracle in the form of a role player becoming a superstar or us losing so badly that we get a super high draft pick. Back in reality I'm gonna go with welcome to mediocrity and pray for a total Oden recovery and improvement next year.

    I just don't see any way for this team to recover and kind of hope we get slaughtered so bad that we get a decent draft pick. We've painted ourselves into a corner with contracts (Roy and Aldridge) and neither of them is going to get us to the 2nd round.

    Yep. Right until we built up a bit of a lead, then Blake came back in for a small ball lineup, and the lead promptly disappeared. No matter how well Bayless does, he won't displace Blake. All he can hope for is to pick up minutes vacated by injured guys at other positions.

    That is not going to happen. Unless (and why do I feel like I'm whistling through the graveyard saying this?) Roy and/or Lamarcus goes down for the year we will not be a high lottery team. Think about this Idog - Portland may have had the worst match up in last seasons playoffs and they made that a series with virtually no help from Oden (5 Pts/4 Rbs) other than putting a body and burning fouls on Yao. Are they a championship team? No. But they aren't a lottery team either.

    This team can recover and be back to serious contender status in a year or 2. You know, you're probably going to have to beat Kobe and/or Lebron right now to win a title anyways . . . good luck with that. Maybe it's just as well that our "window" is pushed back.

    I disagree. Portland would have made the 2nd round last year if we had got the patsy playoff schedule Denver got. Even without Oden. They ran over that New Orleans team like a runaway freight train.

    Bayless + Rudy + Blake = Devin Harris + Ed Najera. Done and Done!

    or Bayless x Rudy x Martell = Devin Harris + Najera

    Rudy fulfilling the path of Drazen (hopefully not the ending though!)
