Hello Everyone, I'm watching the Blazers game on ESPN and Bill Walton is doing commentary and as usual he is slamming the Players and we all know who he is slamming the most Rasheed Wallace. He is saying that it is Rasheed Wallace's fault for declining attendance at the rose garden. Basically he is saying all Portland?s problems are because of Rasheed... All I can say is.. wow how can a washed up player bluntly bash players all the time. The Attendance decrease could be for numerous reasons... Like the unemployment rate. He must think he is the best to bless a Blazer jersey!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Anzix:</div><div class="quote_post">He must think he is the best to bless a Blazer jersey!</div> No, that would be Clyde. Yeah, he was getting on my nerves. Why does Bill Walton do all of their nationally televised games? He never has anything positive to say. He spent the whole game being sarcastic and rude. Bill Walton is one of the worst announcers of all time. I hate his articles, I hate his voice, and I hate his commentary.
Bill Walton is like John Madden.. They are good at coaching/playing.. But when it comes to sitting in a booth and announcing a game.. Someone tape their mouths.. I don't know why I watch games on ESPN anymore.. Just the constant blabber out of this man's mouth makes me upset.. "Thats a Bad pass, he should of known better" Way to state the obvious.. Your a idiot Walton, seriously shut up.. "COME ON RASHEED, Throw it Down!".. Sure he missed it and he shouldn't have.. But god.. We don't need you to add your sarcasim in.. Can't ESPN hire some people that actually would make me want to listen to the game, instead of tempting me to mute the whole thing..
I absolutely can not stand Bill Walton. He is so critical and I really don't think anyone ever agrees with him. I really think that he should keep his mouth shut. I feel like he's jealous of what these kids now a days have and he hates that things were'nt like they are now back when he was playing.
I don't know any NBA fans, let alone Blazer fans, that like Bill Walton. What's up with guys named Bill? Bill Laimbeer is an idiot also.
Walton is a genius whoes says the things he says (some if it just an act) just to get people talking. His comments about Wallace could not be any more true, how can you guys argue that? I means let's not get biased here, you know what Wallace has done for that franchise. Let's stop saying that this kid is young and still has time to mature, because it ain't going to happen. He is not young anymore and will never change, he is who is is.

Blazer fans watch those games, so the things that he says don't "get people talking", they decrease ratings. Yes they are his "alma mater", but why not broadcast for a team that he likes (minus the Lakers, conflict of interest)? Not everything that he said was true. And how can you say that Wallace hasn't done anything for the Franchise? Remember the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers. Who are the two Blazers from that roster that are still here? Exactly. Saying that Bill Walton is a genius is nonsense. You must be a fan of the Grateful Dead .
Walton loves the Trail Blazers and wants to see them win. Walton is sick and tired of the "Jail Blazer" reputation. He only wants what is best for this franchise, he is just frustrated as any fan should be now. Listen to your legend, build around Randolph.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post">Listen to your legend, build around Randolph.</div> Absolutely, that is not debatable. But there was one point where he said; "The Blazers have the ability to clear $44 million in cap space after this year...." Why? If we let Sheed, Person, and Dmiles walk what are we going to get? We won't get a low-post defender like Sheed. We lose a lot of perimeter shooting, and who would we pick up? Walton doesn't think things through sometimes. He wants the best for us, but the solutions that he offers are ridiculous.
Well Miles and Wallace are very hard to trade, you know that. Person is hard as well because his contract is just too large. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and step back to more forward.

Bill Laimbeer is an idiot also.</div> lol your right, both of thos Bills are idiots. They're my two least favorites. I remember when Karl elbowed Steve Nash in that one game, he went off like crazy. He was calling Malone the dirtiest player he's played against and has always been a dirty player. Doesn't that kind of sound funny? Bill Laimbeer calling someone the dirtiest player? I wonder if this guy has ever watched tape of himself playing.
Well, back to the Bill Walton argument. I think the guy's a complete idiot. There is no way I could agree with the notion that Bill Walton is a genius. Walton does try to get people to talk by stirring up controversy and saying stuff he doesn't agree with, but I like the comparison ZeroToOne made between Walton and John Madden. They constantly state the obvious. Whenever Walton is commentating for my Pacers, I mute the TV and find it on the radio. That way I can watch the game without sacrificing decent commentary. That's the solution I'd recommend to you Blazers fans.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting ANiMuS:</div><div class="quote_post"> Who's the other Blazer from the '99-'00 roster that's still here? Exactly.</div> What does that have to do with Sheed? Or anything for that matter? Mouse and Sheed have more chemistry than any other players out there. They seem to get an oop nearly ever game, and Sheed is underrated as a passing big man. Why are you laughing at Mouse?

Not just the Blazers are stupid... He has nothing but stating the obvious and stuff that.. I don't even know what its called.. The point is.. Hes a better player than a Announcer.. If he thinks he knows whats best for the Portland Franchise, we can hire him and let him pick the players and coaches..
