OFFICIAL Blazers Media Day Thread..........

I loved Van X!

 

Dude single-handedly won us a game or two.

 

How did I not commit suicide during the "dark years?"

 

We were all just wondering the same thing?

 

Or for those of you keeping score at home, 1/2 as many as Nate predicted Taurean Green would win for us.

 

TG netted us Von Wafer, who *did* win us a game that season (scored a shit-ton of points, led us in scoring that might, etc). So I think TG kept up his end of the bargain.

 

Lots of coverage on 95.5 now.

First pic from @trailblazers:

 

Andre looks fat again.

 

Nice to see Oden dressed, but that is just for pictures, right?

Somebody needs to work with Nic on his posture.

That's a fantastic beard. Hope the whole starting five grows them.

 

I like the beard. Maybe he will channel Buck all season.

Where did the other nine pounds go?

Blazers media day: Greg Oden said he will not play opening night. Isn't sure when he will be ready.

Is it just me or did Aldridge get a ton more tats in the off-season?

What the hell is going on? From outside chance at playing in the playoffs last year, to sitting out game 1 of the new season? For fuck sakes, this is too much.

 

sigh... taking the wind out of the sails.

 

Oden tweaked his knee during rehab, and it set him back several months.

 

They probably don't want him touching the court until he loses ten or fifteen pounds. I wouldn't want him out there at 275, having not played a minute of basketball in 10 months.
