    My wife was at an event with some Blazer brass recently and someone asked - why is this year is different?

    She tells me the answer was something like this: "Love. That's all I can say. These guys are exceptionally close. They love playing with each other and they love one another."

    Glad we have a chemistry major for a GM now, that's all I can say.

    Pretty sure it's saffron powder and balsamic sea salt.

    Maybe Mo and Dorell could use some of that "love" to shoot better from the field.

    Give Paul Allen some credit for some of this. He and the changes he has made as an owner has made this possible. He has laid down a foundation that has allowed all his key components in the organization to thrive andsucceed. He not only has done it here. But look what that foundation has done in Seattle. Something just seems way different these days.

    they've said the team is "close" every year though. and every year it's "different" and not like it's been before

    A few minced mushrooms and toasted breadcrumbs on top enhance almost any dish.

    Seriously - I thought of what Wes Matthews said, something like "we're not cool guys, we're not a cool team, we're dogs."
