All of this talk is dumb. He's gotta lower his body fat %. Looking a lot better lately though.

Of course your from Cali. 99% of the people from Oregon all say they are from Cali
If you hate it here so bad I have to ask why not go back to Cali?

Well, I think it's fairly debatable now. Bynum is just as injury prone and in the long run, I don't think his body will hold up as well.Originally Posted by lnMyMind

It's not too early to say that this rookie class is both deep and special. In fact, this class could very well produce more starters -- and more All-Stars -- than any class in memory, even the celebrated class of 2003.
Let's start with the gimmes: Derrick Rose is a top-tier athlete with skill and savvy. Greg Oden will be the biggest, most agile center in the league after Dwight Howard. O.J. Mayo is already one of the top shooters in basketball and has the strength and mindset to be an excellent defender. Brook Lopez could eventually be the most skilled 7-foot center in the NBA. And he's a shot-blocker, too. If all four stay healthy, they should make many All-Star appearances in the future.

Hey man, I'n down with you for your passion. No qualms at all there. You speak your mind, and put your thoughts out there well, but you needto remember, you talkin like Roy ain't never been hurt. Like Oden won't ever catch nothin again. That's a reach man. You don't know if Rudygets pissed someday and wants to bolt to be the man elsewhere.Originally Posted by RodDaNasty
I don't think I slipped at all. I can't take away the history of the Lakers. Nice accomplishments for a classy organization but we're talking about the future now. If we're gonna compare the two, you're right. The Blazers lone title in '77 when most of us weren't even born yet doesn't compare to the 14 titles the Lakers have. However, let's look at the tale of the tape:
-Kobe is 30 and realistically has 2-3 MVP performance years in him and probably 2 more top 5 years after that. He's been playing at a high level since he's been, what, 17? He keeps his body fit and ready but it's not a machine.
-Phil Jackson is no Jerry Sloan and will not coach forever. Although he's very discreet and doesn't like talking about the future, he's considering retiring again after the 09-10 season. (Cause he knows that Championship window is closing)
-Since people want to point out Oden's health, it's safe to say that Bynum is on the same boat.
-Pau is a great player but can't build around him. (See his Vancouver/Memphis days)
-Farmar, Sasha and Ariza are good role players but I believe they're sipping on that Devean George juice and bolt, get paid and find out they are very average players.
Now to the Trailblazers. We've been perennial gatekeepers for the longest. But you can't deny that this team is different. We're no longer the "Too Deep" Blazers with former All-Stars. This team got the wealthiest owner, great personel, old school coaching staff and the second youngest team with all the right pieces. This team will take its lumps but I think they'll benefit the most when the old guard Spurs, Suns and Lakers lose to father time. Roy-Aldridge-Oden maybe the lowest Big 3 in the west right now but in 3 years they will be the gold standard. I think the only thing the Blazers will suffer from is being in a small market.
With that, I think it's now safe to say, in the next decade Oden and the Blazers will be a problem and plan more victory parades than Bynum, the Lakers and ultimately the League.The Lakers are the best team in the west no doubt right now and maybe for the next 2 years. However, these Blazers will be next in line when the Purple Reign is over. To my fellow Blazer fans, what did I say wrong to warrant this disclaimer? Was it the Championship talk or the Oden > Bynum talk? I've been a fan through thick and thicker and even I know not to say something crazy like "we're the best" when Telfair, Reef, and Juan Dixon was our posterboys. Be confident on your team. I think the Superso... I mean the Thunder need some more fans.
"know it rains alot. I know it's close to LA, and I love that. I want to go to LA and go to the beach."
That was Greg Oden when they asked him what he knew about Portland. How many other guys want to go to LA and want to go to the beach? How many others want togo to a team that's on national TV all the time? That has the history we do? Look at what it did for KG and Ray Allen to join an elite franchise inBoston. It completely changed the image of their careers.
So good luck man. Keep praying that Bynum will keep getting knee injuries. Cuz that is all that will stop him. We don't need knee injuries to stop Oden,he just sucks.

How am I an idiot? I atleast set up an argument, backed it up, and explained my reasoning. I'm not going around saying that Travis Outlaw isa T-Mac without the 3 point range, Webster is the best shooter in the world, Channing Frye is a franchise forward and ultimately call other people thatdon't follow your team idiots. I don't read the Oregonian nor listen too much into the bias commentating of Mike and Mike. Atleast CP is being agentleman about it and understands where I'm coming from. If you can come up with a debate on why I'm an idiot then maybe I'll believe you.
As for my sig, I played sports my entire youth but never got into following professional sports til the late 90's early 00's. At that time, those werethe good teams so I just latched on and stuck with them.
I still think most if not all Blazer fans are idiots and naive though. That doesn't change my opinion.
