    Oh, then forget it. I was looking forward to bringing my Wii controller to the game and making a little Mario looking dude run up and down the court for the Blazers.

    They should paint donuts on the backboards. Maybe then Felton will make a layup and outside shot.

    Maybe they could find a way to make the basket look like a cup of coffee.

    I'm available most game nights, and I've got a soft touch and a quick first step!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You don't have a point guard mindset. You're a chucker.

    Sorry, I hope that's not considered a personal attack.

    Anyway you slice it we need Felton playing up to his ability. Like it or not Starting him and continuing to give him minutes is the best way to get him there, period.

    Yeah, I hear you. The previous below average Felton would be a HUGE improvement over the fat pile of shit we got.

    It's bad when you would rather just want him released if we can't move him before the trade deadline. That's where I'm at with him right now.

    See? That's what I'm saying.

    Either he regains his game and the team maybe goes on a little run and gets to the playoffs (and maybe Felton can at least be a passable stopgap for a couple of years) or it's more of the same and we get the 12th seed and a lottery pick.

    Win-win.

    I don't understand why Nolan Smith isn't starting? How can he possibly be any worse than Felton?

    Oh, FUCK NO!!! He's an expiring contract. Either trade him at the deadline for a future 2nd round pick or let him walk. Resigning Raymond Felton is our ticket to years in the lottery. If he's your starting PGm you're fucked, and we just saw that he sucks even worse coming off the bench than starting. If Raymond Felton in on our roster opening day of next season, I'll seriously consider sitting out the year. If management hasn't figured out by now that he's not the answer, I have no faith in them what-so-ever (not that I have a lot of faith in them now).
