    If that video is accurate, he always blocks a shot every .89 of a second. Notice how he can't play without his headband? What's in it?

    Stoked is the right word, mook. Myself and some other guys I know have been wanting the Blazers to get Wallace for years. I can't believe that day is here. He is such a perfect fit for what the team needs right now. This overachieving team just got much better.

    I hope some of his aggressiveness will rub of onto Batum.

    That would be great. I seriously think this is a good thing for Batum and I expect Crash, G-Force, G, or whatever people want to call him to make Nicolas a better player. Nico is still only 22, and has never really had a vet at his position to mentor him. Wallace by all accounts is a very grounded, focused dude. And strong. Maybe he will drag Nico into the weight room with him, LOL.

    Nic said in his interview that he views Wallace as a role model and that he will learn from him. I also liked the comment Nic made about Wallace that he plays for 40 minutes and "never gets tired".

    Not to be too much of a homer, but the dude has to be as stoked as I am, for his new team and his new fans.

    Detlef in a headband was freaking hilarious. If I remember correctly, the game the entire team minus Sabas wore headbands was at NYK. And we got killed. The team never did it again, collectively. That's how I remember it, at least.

    I loved that Wallace video except for the first 20 seconds. It's the first 20 seconds I fear as a Blazer fan.

    Wallace didn't wear a headband. Put it back on, Crash!

    That's why we lost last night! I think the whole god damned team should rock one tomorrow night.

    Hmmm...Gerald didn't wear one last night in his debut. The Nate quote above may have a different meaning, for example: "He wears one; it shouldn't be a big deal if he doesn't wear a headband now that he is under my rules." :)

    According to Blazersedge, in regard to playing without a headband last night, Crash said:
    So it actually sounds like somebody told him, or at least suggested, that he not wear a headband. It's interesting as Wallace's quote contradicts Quick's tweet.

    "If it'll make you play better and calm you down, you can wear 2 headbands," said Nate on Courtside. He said he will talk to Gerald about it, though.

    Just further proves that Quick is clueless and his "sources" suck.

    If any statement contradicts Quick's, it is correct. It's like a litmus test for legitimacy. Quick makes Canzano look well-informed.

    Maybe Nate said it was OK, but Wallace chose not to so as to not rock the boat.
