    The Sheriff has arrived!

    "For weeks, Ezeli and All-Star point guard Damian Lillard had exchanged a little playful trash-talking about Ezeli's return. Lillard let his beastly new teammate know he would be coming for him on Day 1, that he would pick just the right moment to drive and dunk on him. But Ezeli, who blocked 50 shots in 46 games with the Golden State Warriors last season and is regarded as an exceptional defender, had other plans and suggested that Lillard rethink his plan.

    As fate would have it, the weeks-long banter was put to the test in the first play of the first 4-on-4 half-court drill Monday. Lillard drove toward the rim and elevated. Ezeli skied with him and rejected the shot."

    We still have that 15th spot saved for him, right?

    That's probably why they let Barrett go... he was going to try to say Steve Blake added 15 lbs of muscle.

    Lol. And who knows what else.....

    Damn, I am SO pumped on this news. Trash talking (good natured) with Dame, and backs it up. He wanted to come here (buys a one way airline ticket...). Sure, maybe he didn't have any other offers, but who cares? Limit him to 10-15 minutes a game, then when the playoffs come, unleash the beast. YEE HAAAAA!!!!

    Damn. Dame getting killed by this injury-prone scrub center?

    Fuck, he's regressed. Dame is overrated - season over. We're tied to
    His huge contract. We're so screwed.

    (That's my mixum impression - did I nail it?)

    Oh yeah, I agree. However, this is the first significant news that we've gotten that supports how he may help us, since he signed with us. Great news to FINALLY get!

    Nobody here thought that we should pursue Ezeli as our top summer talent obtainable, up here in the undesirable Pacific Northwest, and skip the famous big man free agents (Hassan Whiteside, Dwight Howard, Chandler Parsons). If anyone could evaluate talent like that, the Blazers should hire that poster as a scout and pay him $100,000 per year.

    Dame let him block it. That's what a leader does.

    Everytime he ever looks good from now on, it's all to my credit. Think of me everytime he does well.
