Event Jailblazer doc

Yo it's really happening, like, now.

Are they going to bring weed to the airport in tinfoil? Guns? Get pulled over and show their basketball cards as ID

 

[SlyPokerDog]

If they're going to be open and honest I would fucking love to hear stories from their era. I bet we don't know a 10th of what went down.

 

[GrandJury]

Nice!!

I loved that era! North East Portlands finest Damon Stoudamire, Rasheed Wallace, Bonzi Wells, that was a filthy squad

I don't care what anybody says there's a reason we haven't had a squad that good since they were here. We almost won a title with the Jail Blazers team I miss them

The Whitsitt era was fun and we were super competitive. Though we were the laughingstock in pro sports because of how many dumb things those guys all did around the same time.

 

[Minstrel]

How do we define the "Jail Blazers" era? Was it just with JR Rider, or does it include the years with Pippen, since Sheed and Stoudamire and Wells were doing their thing? I've never really been sure what precisely comprised the "Jail Blazer" era. Does it extend all the way through Zach Randolph's Portland years (so until 2006-07)?

Regardless, I'd love to see an insider documentary of the years.

I remember Larsa coming decked out to the games, hot as hell. Always with a giant bodyguard.

In the history of Blazer wives she had to be the hottest.

 

[BlayZa]

We had a squad. Almost won a title. Sabonis bless his heart for playing with those dudes but he was huge in that era as well. I miss the jail Blazers era they had tons of success

Dickau's wife get's my vote for hottest Trail Blazer wife.

If Portland doesn't blow the 4th quarter in 2000 WCF, the whole Jail Blazers era would've been completely worth it. Even if they flame out the next year, it would've been a legendary championship team. Can you imagine all the Portland soccer moms arguing over retiring Sheed's jersey? Pippin with one more ring than Jordan? Sabas completing his resume?

Shaq and Kobe would've started feuding a lot sooner. With that bounce I don't think there's any guarantee they come back next year and cruise to a ring. I can easily imagine shit getting out of hand in the off season with every reporter asking how could they have blown it. If those Lakers fall apart, you could easily see Duncan getting several more rings and suddenly he's at least in the argument for GOAT.

In a franchise loaded with what-ifs, those god damned 12 minutes are right at the top for me. What if those flaky fuckers had just kept their shit together for 12 more minutes. *sigh*

Anyway, I don't know anything about this documentary other than there's no way in hell Bonzi and Sheed could organize their way into a paper bag. At best, it's going to be a couple of high old men giggling into an iPhone, at worst a couple of really stupid misdemeanors.

Of all of them, I am kind of curious to know what Ruben Patterson is doing now. He raped a lady, he got his faced mash by Zach Randolph, and he didn't stop Kobe. Where do you go from there?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

^ Good post! That 4th quarter continues to give me nightmares. I can remember exactly where I was at watching it and the feeling of utter disbelief and heart broken. It was horrible.

 

[Minstrel]

Whenever I think of that fourth quarter, my main memory is early in the quarter, the Blazers up 15 and the Lakers missing a shot--Brian Grant has position and seemed to have the rebound. Then Shaq ripped the ball out of his hands and went back up and scored. Probably unfairly, I've always thought of that as the turning point in the game. Grant secures that rebound and the Blazers have the ball with a 15 point lead and all the momentum. Instead, it's an instant 2-4 point swing and the Lakers get some momentum.

Lots and lots of other stuff had to happen, like the Blazers basically missing every shot from then on out, but for some reason that moment seems most significant to me.

She was hot but in a weird way, kinda looked like Michael Jackson.

I don't consider the 2000 team a true Jail Blazers team. They were led by veterans like Pippen, Sabonis, Smith, Grant, Schrempf and none off them had any problems off the court. The biggest controversy with them was Sheed's techs. It was more the years surrounding that with Rider and especially immediately following where they devolved into Jail Blazerdom. 2002-03 was probably the peak of Jail Blazer-ness.

 

[The Professional Fan]

I was at the Sports Page off 217. I remember going into the bathroom between the 3rd and 4th quarter and I was celebrating. Not only celebrating the win over the Lakers, but celebrating the NBA Championship because I knew we'd fucking KILL Indiana. So, basically, I was taking a piss and celebrating winning the NBA Championship.

You could say I was a little upset when the game ended.

I did the same thing with the Seahawks vs New England. Celebrating a championship, and boom. Not so much. I need to stop doing that apparently.

Whoa dude. Whoa.

I don't even know who we're talking about here, but am royally confused about "hot" and "Michael Jackson" being used in the same sentence...and it having nothing to do with Pepsi.

Pip's wife:

Looks kinda like MJ in this pic:

 

[blue9]

^^^In that she's wearing too much make-up and has had plastic surgery, I get what you're saying.
Also, the deadness of her eyes really reminds me of the Jeff Koons sculpture of MJ and Bubbles:

 

[handiman]

1) You can't refer to Michael Jackson as MJ while showing a picture of Pippen.

2) Any discussion of disturbing hotness while resembling Michael Jackson is incomplete without a Janet Jackson reference.

3) Unless my memory has royally failed me, I remember Brian Shaw's 3-pt bank shot at the end of the 3rd quarter being the turning point in that game 7. I had a real bad feeling after that.

4) When did the "Jail Blazers" term originate? I thought it came later with Damon/Sheed/Bonzi/Zach/Rider/Qyntel as the core knuckleheads.

My recollection is that it was first coined when JR Rider was on the team, but it was so long ago that my memory could be off.

Dickau's wife get's my vote for hottest Trail Blazer wife.

I stood in line next to them a few years ago at OMSI. I approve this message.
