    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Steamy situation Tuesday in Memphis during the third quarter when Juan Dixon and Zach Randolph got into it on the court with 3:07 left, which escalated into an exchange of f-bombs.

    Dixon had been irked earlier in the game about ZBo's incessant complaining about not getting the ball. Finally, Dixon let Zach have it verbally, telling him he would get him the ball when he was open.

    It all happened during a dead ball in front of the Blazers bench and coach Nate McMillan quickly stepped in as the two exchanged unpleasantries, sitting Randolph down on the bench and talking to him briefly.

    But once Nate left, Randolph kept griping at Dixon from his seat on the bench, prompting Dixon, who was still on the court around the free throw line, to basically tell Zach to go fly a kite.

    When there was a timeout with 2:32 left, the team expected the worst. McMillan stopped Dixon on the court before he got to the huddle. And Joel Przybilla stood in front of Randolph at the end of the bench, trying to calm him.

    Sheed should've never been traded,Randolph was the one that had to go but at that time he was supposed to become their franchise player.Now there are heaps of guys ahead of him for that spot.

    I agree about feeling sorry for Webster and Telfair, I just hope my man Martell doesnt turn out to be a headcase like most of the Blazers current/former players who got any media attention at all.

    Blazers have to trade away patterson and raldolf
    maybe for expiring contracts (Antonio Davis)

    however--Miles is playing pretty well now
    he is fitting in under Nate and is not causing any problems

    LOL @ the fact that people think Zach is a franchise player.

    Zach, A) is a cancer, [​IMG] lacks defense, C) is a complete ballhog who does not pass out of double teams, and D) has a horrible team attitutude.

    Zach can play, and has talents, but is in it for the paycheck. It's oh so obvious.

    Zach even payed bounced checks to charities, and got cleaned up after. Pathetic.

    Zach is a black holepoison.

    Problems with him, no surprise.

    Unfortunately, the Blazers are stuck with a high paid self-ish player. Damn shame. Randolph did not seem selfish when I saw him at Michigan State, maybe I was not looking hard enough.

    Martell seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

    Too bad that good guys like Juan Dixon (NCAA Champ) get paid peanuts compared to lame asses like Randolph.

    You mean to tell me that no one here feels bad for Rueben Patterson?

    What about Reuben the Rapist? How did his feelings get lost in all of this?

    Read this article: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2241985


    That should make you think twice about what Reuben means to the team.

    The Blazers are becoming more and more disgusting.
    3 things to do ASAP:
    1.Fire John Nash
    2.Trade everyone in the team except Outlaw,Telfair,Jack,Webster and Pryzbilla for Expiring contracts and draft picks,Randolph should leave for a good player like Micheal Redd who was proposed for the Blazers a year ago (*Nash slaps face*)
    3.Bring a GM who knows what he's doing and carries a definite plan.

    No more wasting time with Nash's stupid "plans" that change according to his mood swings.
    its time for a fresh start.
