    Overall sure some of those guys had there troubles, but I've always been of the opinion that Patterson was the only one who really deserved the label "jail blazer".

    Who would slap Brian Grant in the face but Sabonis and live to talk about it?

    I'm not sure what Kerry's access is to the team, but I'd like to know if he knows whether Jake Layman lost a bet?

    I'm struggling to find another explanation for Layman's ridiculous, pathetic mustache.

    :cheers:

    Superstition. The Blazers have won since he started wearing it. He won't shave it.

    Sorry, man, but we have an interview lined up with the usher for Section 315. Can't cut that, obviously.

    Z-bo without a doubt, with Woods as his sidekick. Total idiocy. Think back, y'all. Dogfights, running trains, parties where drug dealers get beaten, drag racing in downtown Portland (wtf) AND locking his keys in the car that held handguns and whatever else, locker room fights, and on and on and on. Best addition by subtraction trade of all time when we sent him to New York for the ghost of Stevie Francis...

    Do you think Trader Bob Whitsitt would be a good GM in today's NBA with the world of social media (everything players do is more scrutinized and public) and more salary cap restrictions?

    The Blazers have Meyers as one of the top few swish3 % leaders in the NBA, and he is obedient to coaching, but attempted only 3 swish3s in the last 4 games combined. Why wouldn't Blazer coaches have a game plan that mandates Meyers scoring at least 3 swish3s per game based on his >50% shooting (probably 6 shots or less)?

    Those 9 additional points would make a major difference in winning (and I note that Meyers has scored 3-5 swish3s at total of 28 times in the NBA).

    Kerry,

    Is there any player/combo of players from that team that would instantly make the current team a serious contender?

    My vote is for Pippen and Sheed.

    Kerry,

    even through all this nonsense off the floor, the team from 99-02 would have won at least one title had it not been for Shaq/Kobe (or the refs!). What made that team so terrific on the floor, even if it was so volatile off it? Is there something to be said about having a few loose cannons on the team who will act as instigators when needed? I keep thinking about Draymond. This team currently could use a guy like that.

    From your prospective, when the "Jail Blazer" title was hung on the team; especially Rasheed, did this moniker cause premeditated negative commentary from broadcasters? If so, were they directed to do this as broadcast policy to amplify ratings?
