Lets Talk Basketball

"Even if you don't like him, he still a great talent"

I wish I had an argument against that fact. When Shaq wants to play his best, there are very few who can match his abilities. Which is my contention all along. Shaq does not need the ref’s help one bit. Not only an insult to people trying to play him, but to Shaqs abilities as well! Not to mention the fans that like to see fair competition.


"The Blazers are going to remold their team again."

I am praying for a minor miracle right now. Larry B for coach AND general manager, Zithead gone!


"Rod Strickland was a cancer on the Bullets."

I'd take him over Staud any day. But I do agree that the Kemp Strickland deal was almost worse than when we passed over MJ.I believe we were in contention until that trade.


"If MJ doesn't want him why would the TrailBlazers?"

You're proceeding on the fact that MJ is a basketball genius. Yes MJ has skill; however even MJ himself gave the kudos for most of his success to Pippin. I contend that it was both their minds together combined with MJ's skill that brought great success. MJ has not yet proven himself to be a mover and a shaker in the basketball arena OFF the court! I will value his opinion on team composition and harmony, after he builds and coaches one for himself. If he does HALF as good as LB I'd be surprised. JMO
