    Awesome achievement. If more people other than us Blazer fans watched him play, they'd understand. He just doesn't get the national lick like Road Rage does. Dude is still developing too. Bravo! Playoff success is a comin'.

    This is old old news. All the writers told us in their columns and on podcasts that they were picking him. He will be 4th in MVP voting too. Nothing new here. What sucks is that, after all of this, we got swept from the playoffs and he shot 30% from the field. As El Prez intimates, it's hard to get too excited about this after what happened against New Orleans.

    It's a meme about white people calling the police on black people for random reasons.

    Oh, haha. Thanks.

    I didn't realize Casey Holdahl was so gangsta.

    Honestly, does that not seem bizarre coming from him? No? Is it just me who's ouchea on this limb?

    :cheers:

    I love Damian as much as anyone, but I don’t understand how he got chosen over Westbrook for the first All-NBA team. Westbrook averaged a triple double this season, while Damian has yet to get a triple double in 6 years of play. If I were Westbrook I would be upset right now. He can get a triple double without breaking a sweat, but the guy who beat him out for first team has never felt the satisfaction of getting even one.

    I guess I missed the part of the rule book where getting triple doubles has some significance. Russ is a stat hog. Maybe if he paid more attention to playing team ball his team would win more games.

    The rule book doesn’t say whether it’s better to win than to lose, either. Does that mean winning has no significance?

    Was Oscar Robertson a stat hog? Most NBA analysts consider him one of the all-time greats, and he almost averaged a triple double in two consecutive seasons.

    Westbrook is a remarkable player, and your criticism of him only makes you look like a homer.

    Oscar Roberson was a great player who earned triple doubles before triple doubles were even a defined thing. He played team ball and he played to win. Russ is a great player who is way more concerned about his stat line than he should be. Watch his teammates help him get his rebound stats by getting out of his way. It’s hilarious:
