    BG just fawned all over Stotts. Coach just said Alexander is going to be fine. Just not used to the intensity of practice and drills at the pro level. But again, Stotts says he'll be fine

    Stotts told me not to worry.

    Why does Stotts say we have to cut two players; I thought since that one guy was bought out we only need to cut one?

    They signed Omari Johnson for training camp, I think Stotts is including him in the total but I'm pretty sure everybody is just assuming he'll be the 1st cut leaving 1 more to go before the season starts.

    We
    We're plying him with liquor in hopes of getting to the truth. I think he might be able to drink Dame under the table...but we're trying....

    Technically, Omari Johnson is on the camp roster. That makes 17 as of now.

    On a serious note, unless the knee is going to be a long-term issue, I expect him to make the 15 man roster anyway.

    I agree. As he posted, he's 'On A Mission' and I think the Blazers have taken note.
