    Wallace is fun and popular and all . . . but Daunte just got 21 points tonight. Forget crash and flash, I'll take consistent dependable role playing Daunte anytime come playoff time. Then throw in a Joel contribution AND a draft pick next year. WTF?

    Keep your popularity . . . I want Daunte back.

    I selected Roy, but might have picked Oden if there was that option.

    I'm pretty sure it was a shot at MIXUM. Otherwise, he wouldn't have awkwardly said "Daunte" a billion times.

    It's either Miller or Camby. No one voted for Camby, so that's my vote.

    Wallace is popular because men wish for a return to long hair. Cunningham's started the last 7 games for Stephen Jackson but they've won only once.

    How dope would it be for Gerald to let out the braids for Game 1 of the playoffs! Rock his hair like his older uncle Ben!

    His hair is probably ridiculous without the braids cause he's braided it for so long, that would be crazy!

    I was impressed when the crowd started chanting Wallace's name the other night. I can't remember a Portland crowd doing that before--it reminded me of the sing-song chants that fans do at the Knicks and Rangers games:

    GER-ALD WA-LLACE!
    GER-ALD WA-LLACE!

    Then Terry Porter completely ignored the whole thing when interviewing Wallace after the game, which I couldn't believe.

    You mean, aside from the Mar-Cus Cam-Bee singsong last year?

    Someone with youtube access should post the video.

    It wasn't because Camby played his balls off in a big game, it's because those 20,000 people were all fair weather fans. Obviously.

    So dark of green it almost looks black.

    But yes, sarcastic, making fun of an earlier post in this thread saying the fans are fair weathered for doing it.

    We tried a Lamarcus Aldridge chant during the San Antonio game where he scored 42. It didn't going perfectly, but we tried.

    Camby has one vote in this thread. I think that says a lot about the fickleness of the Blazer fanbase.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You can show your appreciation for a player in a standout game without ever considering him your favourite player. I don't think there's any contradiction implying fickleness between that Camby chant and him not getting a lot of votes in this poll.
