    I hadn't seen this posted, but I thought it was a entertaining read about the locker room atmosphere after the Laker game.

    Jason Quick used to do a great story on inside the locker room. I wish he would start them again. They were so good to read. You could really feel what was going on in there.

    Yes! The commendatory between the players is great to hear. So much better than those years of dismay during the "JailBlazer Era". Gotta love being a Portland fan!

    Thanks! Great read, had me giggling. This beats the hell outta towel throwing bong rippers dumb enough to think tin foil will get through an air port detector

    Nice to see Gerald this integrated with the rest of the team so quickly.

    I sit 5th row in the section where the press box is and quick walks by me every game. Ive asked him multiple times when he was going to start writing behind the locker room door again and last year he replied with "i cant cuz andre miller is killing the locker room." the times ive asked this year hes just laughed and said somethin along the lines of "i wish i could but its not the same as the years with all the young gunz"

    I thought some guys asked him to stop? Didn't he write one like that, saying it was going to be his last one, because guys wanted that to be private stuff? I could be wrong.

    The players got tired of him writing bullshit articles about them. They stopped telling him inside info. I've seen Quick walk away from players and heard other players warn them about him.

    Yeah I am all for transparency, but that series kind of felt like it was going a little too far. I think the Pryzbilla bathroom incident was the breaking point.

    Wasn't Quick's locker room series ended when he wrote about one of the Blazers dropping a duke or ripping one? TMI.
