Wish I had time to make a sign for tonight's game with LA on a billboard saying something like "Here's your own billboard, LA".
The Clown will find some reason for it to be Portland's problem, the fault of the Blazer front office and that the Ducks were behind the whole screw up. Same 'ole.....same 'ole....
"If Damian Lillard is the leader the front office falls over themselves to slavishly proclaim, he would have deferred to LaMarcus's preference. But, as with the Oregon Athletic Department, poor decisions beget piles of lies and back pedaling. Beefgate is real."
I wouldn't boo a guy for leaving. This is America and he's a free individual. But he was not one of the best Blazers ever. I don't even see why Blazer fans would be upset that he's gone. I think maybe after they get to see him tonight without those rose colored glasses on, they'll wake up to the fact that he's so over-rated.
It's like Portland fans booed Turkaglu, but they should have just been thankful that he didn't sign. He did us a favor, just like LA did.
It's the rare chance to boo the person, and not the player. Actually, we're booing both. lol. It's an opportunity that doesn't come along unless you're Raymond Felton.
Precisely. I meant circulate here, in pdx before tonight's game. None of the "will the fans boo" topics here or on local radio would have been broached. The answer would be very clear, at least to me. I was slightly divided but no longer am. I'd boo the fuck outta his soft, sensitive pussy.
As a fellow human, I kind of feel his pain from an emotional standpoint... BUT, the way he went about it... I mean, at least have some introspection. I hope he gets some mental help and can introspect on himself, because he needs it. Until then, I'm booing him tonight for sure!!
Sorry if this has come up already, but I got two articles here: http://www.expressnews.com/sports/s...hp?t=bbe2607233e4660723&cmpid=twitter-premium http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-b...s-what-they-are-supposed-to-do-164459487.html I want to encourage everyone to take the articles on the first page with a grain of salt. That's all. While I have no doubt that something wasn't clicking here in Portland, and that overall he probably didn't like this city, I also believe that his main motivation for leaving in FA was his desire to get a championship. And, let's be honest with ourselves: that's probably a few years out for this team right now, even if he had stayed. So yeah: I think he's a baby. But I don't think the marketing and atmosphere here in Portland was his main reason for leaving. This is a comment I wrote in one of the articles:
I read stuff like this and think it's going to be interesting to see how long the honeymoon lasts between LA and San Antonio. He sounds like a 10-year-old girl. ... sorry, 10-year-old girls, I didn't mean to offend your maturity level.
I think the best way to get into Felton's head would be to wave some French fries in front of him from the crowd.
