    Yes, but he lost when Perry appealed the case.

    Well Gents, time for me to head to Moda.
    Ya'll behave yourselves in here tonight, and remember, it's a 48 minute game, so if the Blazers fall behind by 20 in the 2nd qtr., they do not suck, Damian is not a 'washed-up turnover machine', Nurk doesn't need to be demoted, Anfernee is not ignoring Shaedon, and Chauncey did not 'forget how to coach.'
    And, by the same token, if Portland races to a 20pt first half lead, it is not over. And if New Jersey (ya, I know..) comes back, that doesn't mean Blazers suck, either.
    It's just NBA basketball. No lead is safe.
    Have fun.

    Yeah, that number seems to be changing for me now that I am way past both of them.

    Don't worry 'bout it man--long as you still got kids at home, you're still young in my book!

    I had a lot of mileage by 53....I guess some folks are still young but in my view....at 53 you've probably started shrinking already...the trick is to age through middle age gracefully and 53 is middle aged, not old enough for senior discounts at the dump yet and probably too old to win an iron man event in Hawaii.

    IMHO, it doesn't really matter how we've been doing. We're going to be a much better team later in the season. The fact that we're eeking out wins while we're improving is totally awesome, but not indicative of our current ability. Don't forget, that we're still a very young team, with basically a new coach, a new system, and new players.

    Little guy took to the Dizzy Castle playground. You gotta work to keep up with them for a couple hours. Fun but not easy.

    What's unreal is all the people on this board, before the season started, saying the Blazers should tank.
