    Any thread I can crack on HCP every 12 posts is a good thread. He has dip immunity too. The dip isn't short for diplomatic though.

    Also, I wanna change my name to BCP. Bosnian causing playoffs.

    Seeing the team with Jusuf anchoring the post is game changing...last year's playoff run was a surprise...if we do it this year, a lot of teams are not going to want to see us in the first round. He gave us an identity again...things are looking up for Blazer fans

    I've never been a huge Dirk fan...respect his accomplishments but line them up and choose teams, I take Drazen over Dirk all the time..Drazen hadn't even peaked when he died in that car wreck.

    To me, the worst trade the Blazers made was trading Petro (even though it ended up that Petro was non to pleased about his playing time OR the city). I wish Adleman had found time for him, as he would've been much better for the team than Walter Davis.

    Still hate how they traded Petro for Davis, only to waive Davis the next year (in favor of Robert Pack). Hell, Davis was brought in to help in the playoffs and he didn't.

    We've had lots of great Euro players in the league. I just like that Portland was ahead of the curve early with Drazen as he was one of the first to make an impact...I hated trading him

    That's a bold statement, I mean Dirk is one of the best scorers ever and he changed the NBA in a MAJOR way. If it wasn't for him, do we have the stretch 4 as popular as it is now?

    like I said, I never liked his game much....when he was young I thought of him the way people think of Meyers...why doesn't he play defense or rebound, block shots or post up...he was a 7 foot shooter....amazing shooter, but not great handles and terrible defense...as he got older he changed it up a bit but Drazen had it all....amazing technique....two way player...score anywhere in anyway...Dirk shot from deep most of his career. More of a Reggie Miller legacy to me.
