    Was this bolded part supposed to be sarcasm? I liked Batum, but I don't think he was the best Blazer ever. :confused:

    I think they're talking about LA not Batum.

    Great article... goes back to what we were saying about his exit interview. He has incredible personal charisma and heart.

    I was talking to a friend about the Warriors series and said the Blazers reminded me of Austin Rivers in Game 6 against the Clippers. Bloody stitches, eye swollen shut, but they just would... not... die...

    They're young and unproven but they are TOUGH and earned a lot of respect from people who weren't fans before.

    Petrie
    Walton
    Lucas
    Gross
    Drexler
    Porter
    Buck
    Sheed
    Sabonis
    Dame

    I mean: Come on.

    I think he's referring to when we lost Meyers for the season...

    So, would "Porn" be a good nickname for Dame? ;)

    I 100% agree but that comment about losing the best blazer so far was from a stats perspective. And why they said "so far" because Dame will break it soon.

    This series really put Portland on the map. It got record high ratings and now the whole basketball world knows the Portland Trail Blazers.

    I think the OKC series will be a disappointment comparatively.

    Buck? Nah.

    Drexler
    Walton
    B Roy
    Sheed
    Porter
    Pippen (career)
    Maybe Sabonis
    And of course Dame

    I have to say, that to me, the Lillard/Curry era feels eerily similar to the Drexler/Jordan era. We have an amazing player, who at any other time could be the best in the league, but just happens to play the same position as one of the all time greats.

    But (as before) I don't even feel disappointed about it, because I'm just so happy that we're lucky enough to have a player of that caliber at all.

    A buddy and I were discussing just this last night. It could very well be possible that the Blazers never get passed the conference finals. Because of one person.
    If this be the case, Ill be happy being a winning team that competes with the greatest, but it will come with a sour taste of having to do it twice now with no ring to show for it.
