    I chose adding Silver to the uniforms. I hate that shit with the passion...

    But to me the biggest off-the-court blunder buy a Blazer was Hollywood Robinson crashing in the Terwilliger curves.

    Well, a positive in retrospect, Schonz didn't have to go through the Jailblazers era as an announcer. He probably would have had an embolism during the WCF Game 7 meltdown and, if survived, would not have held his tongue regarding the player's stupidity.

    Qyntel Woods is the biggest off the court fuck up in Blazer history that I know of.

    From the list, I choose Schonely, easily. I miss Barrett more than I thought I would. Rice not as much.

    Seriously though in all my years watching blazers basketball, it would have to be removing mike and mike. I know some people like colabro and Hurd, that's great but mike and mike to me, were better in terms of a fit. Yeah they were homers, mike Barrett wasn't the best play by play caller but at least he wasn't calling us Seattle. Hurd to me also tries too hard. Mike and mike were just natural and I honestly expected them to be around for quite a bit. Shit, mike rice still constantly tweets about blazer moves and the season in general.
