    I think it would be nice if Mason would announce Matthews like he did as a blazer, let the crowd giving him an ovation, and maybe play a little video of him on the jumbotron. I just think doing anything more ceremonial than that would be cheesy.

    As far as the rest of them: I liked Lopez because of how goofy he is, but he was sort of a "meh" player who was only here 2 years. And Batum, we wasted a lot of time and money on him. And he didn't commit to us, because he played every summer overseas. Look how he was just drifting around in the playoffs. No reason to honor him. He was a nice guy, I like him personally but glad he's gone.

    And LaMarcus....he'd get no cheer from me what so ever. He was a "me first" player who was worried about getting his shots and his stats through the least amount of effort. We had to play Hickson at Center even though LA is 6-11 270, because LA has no heart for interior play.

    It's so nice to have an active, athletic front court.

    So this means we are retiring Rick Adelman's no. 12 on Wednesday night?

    I think a loop of Beal leaving him in the dust with a step back game winner to the song Slip sliding away by Paul Simon

    I'm over the whole LaMarcus thing. The relationship was going nowhere. It was like knowing that the person you are with is not "the one", but hating the idea of searching for someone else. In the end the only thing that really made you mad is that you didn't break up with the other person first. I'm done being pissed at him. All break up cliches apply here.

    LA was nothing more than a Shareef Abdur-Rahim level player.

    We should try and make this happen, bring LMA out before the game and give him a roll of PDX carpeting. Fans would cheer for the carpeting but LMA would think it's for him. Good times!
