    Bill Walton got us our only ring. He can say anything he wants. He is a Blazer god.

    We play some beautiful basketball when we aren't wasting time above the 3 point line doing endless dribble handoffs.

    He's either too weak, or doesn't know proper technique to defend traditional post scoring bigs. I think it's a little of both to be honest.

    Ever listen to him give a speech? I did in high school. My ass fell asleep after the second hour because he wouldn't shut up. I'd be willing to listen him to him talk about
    Jerry Garcia till he's blue in the face. Just not while I'm watching the Ducks play.

    That's what makes those games so epic.

    Bill Walton, from stuttering stoner to national treasure.

    Isn't the point of a speech to not shut up?

    Usually there is an allotted time limit unless you're in a weekly sermon at a holy roller church. Then you're screwed.

    Good thing the refs are helping LA or they'd be getting blown the fuck out. We can't have that.

    Would like to see Evan used in the post more with this unit. He's not a good pnr player and seems to be sitting in the corner otherwise.
