    to answer the poll question:

    I dont give a fuck about LaMarcus, Im indifferent (I never liked him in the first place), but I dont really understand why fans in the NBA boo their former players... I mean, if they played great and made fans happy, that should be appreciated and they have every right to leave elsewhere if thats what they want... so I dont blame him for joining SAS, he wouldnt win anything here, perhaps he wont do it in SAS also, but they certainly give him better shot at championship

    but as far as Im concerned, thats two way street, fans should appreciate players like that and those players should appreciate fans who supported them through all the years, you cant just throw that away and that goes for both fans and players

    I dont support what KD did, he left one contender for other where hes gonna win multiple rings, I dont respect that... if he played in some team thats non contender and then join GSW, I wouldnt mind it, but like this, its just a bitch move, he betrayed his former fans

    last night was another good game for the Blazers and thats what happens when you share the ball, getting all players involved, not just the big three... we had couple games like this, but I want to see them doing it on regular basis... Dame proved he can play like this and I want him to stay like this, I want CJ to become like yesterdays Dame

    its not that hard really, just share the ball, show some movement on the floor and good things will happen

    Coaching? Ball movement? Supporting cast? Better floppers at the guard spots? Lots of reasons. Harden's excellence (and he really is a great player, better than anyone on the Blazers) is just one of them.

    I'm sure some people have said that. And if they did, it's probably because his defense has been so damned awful.
    Offensively I think everyone can agree that he's amazingly talented. But that doesn't change the fact that he's a disgrace to the game of basketball and that his antics take away from his otherwise amazing talent.

    In other news: Fuck James Harden!

    It's not because of Collins, it's because of Tater Totts/Aminu. If Terry Trump wasn't such a moron he'd play Aminu at SF, opening minutes for both Vonleh/Collins at PF. There is zero reason they both can't get consistent minutes.

    Fans reaction to a players return, always has to do with their departures. If it was smooth they get cheered for, plain and simple

    I voted it's time to stop booing...better for all the fans to turn their backs on the court in a moment of silence when he's announced....maybe a few fans could chant....y'know...y'know..y'know

    Why would you not boo him... he screwed the franchise out of valuable assets by giving false hope he would stay when he knew he was leaving... screw that guy

    booing is predictable...uncomfortable silence with no eye contact fits his personality so much more....and yeah....fuck him....it's a Lamarcus who? response

    But at least he didn't re-sign with us! That would have been even worse. I boo him for being a bitch. I cheer him for GTFOing!
