    Actually one of the things that pissed me off, and I am surprised nobody mentioned it, was Monty Williams. Anybody remember when Monty Williams gave Batum a tongue lashing for "Getting his" in a game? I was thinking the whole time, "Hey Monty, we need more scorers, and we need people who want to score. So that being said...WTF ARE YOU DOING?"

    The whole fact that they said Batum's offense was ahead of schedule, showed that there was a problem. The problem being, there was a schedule to begin with for Batum. This isn't working in a office, where you have your end of year evaluation, and completed your goals or not. If a player's offensive game begins to bloom, you don't step on it. You let it happen, and consider yourself fortunate.

    I believe it may be time to hold onto our shorts, no?

    Operation Chris Paul in a Blazer uniform is now in effect. Expect to see Chris Paul here in the next few days...

    Folks ripping on Cho's software are conveniently overlooking Westbrook which was an inspired pick in retrospect.

    Once Wes is official things start to happen, but he isn't yet.

    getting a post up game to take advantage of PGs being switched onto him is exactly what Nic has relayed he's been asked to do this offseason

    Thanks for the link. I found this very interesting:

    I hope he didn't take HCPs wife!

    Apparently, no one really knows. Larry Miller and Chad Buchanan both said last night at 5:00 pac. Others keep saying tonight at 5:00 pac. Either way, there is a presser tomorrow to announce him

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I assume it's official one week from when Matthews signed the Blazers offer sheet (which, as I recall, is Wednesday). Apparently Utah signing another player doesn't change the time frame, since they could conceivably make other moves to get back under the cap and match.

    I had always been under the assumption that it was last night as well. I can't find anywhere, when Utah actually recieved the damn thing

    There must be some discrepancy about when exactly the offer sheet found its way into Kevin O'Connor's hands ... who knows maybe there was some FedEx courier/Utah fan who "conveniently" misplaced the document en route?

    Cho and Matthews wouldn't get us much, but it would be a start to repair the damage done so far.

    I'm just curious have you said anything good about this team in the past three seasons other then when Sergio got decent minutes? You make Mixum look like the eternal optimist.
