With the NBA playoffs starting I thought we need a snappy slogan for the Blazers Play off run

Heres a few I came up with:
The Portland TrailBlazers
"Watch Rasheed have a melt down"
or
"Anything can happen"

or my favorite
"Here have a Towel" :p

I know the Sonics aren't going anywhere but at least we have a lottery pick .....and We don't have the Lakers in the first round hehehehe

I'll bet a float trip with any of you Blazer fans who think they'll make it out of the first round......Os

Poor Portland, the only thing going for that city is the Blazers and their once a every other decade springer fishery.

...just kidding guys.

Hey Os and Ryan, quit being so jealous! We are very proud of our Blazers.

Our only prob is 'Sheed has been in a shooting slump. That's why he missed with the 'throw in the white towell to mid-court' surrender signal and hit Sabonis in the face instead. This team has more togetherness than the press gives them credit! In fact, Bonzi Wells purposely tore his ACL so Smith and others could get more deserved playing time. Now that's love - and chemistry. ...

Actually, it's true that anything could happen in the playoffs. The Blazers could take a game from the Lakers. But with the not-so-secret-anymore NBA mandate of having the refs give strong advantage to home court teams, 'marquis' players and 'marguis' teams for better TV ratings (includes Shaq, Kobe, and the Lakers all), and that we can't stop those guys even without their refs help, I just don't see an upset. Of course I didn't think they could come from being down 3-1 to an almost incredible upset in game 7 at the Staples Center; but for a 4th quarter
CHOKE. ...

Filthy rich nerd Paul Allen is definitely way into winning the NBA championship! I bet him learning it's not for sale is really bugging the crap right out of him about now. Bob Wit**** too! The ensuing houseclean in the off season will be very interesting indeed. I just hope they give a little more consideration to character and chemistry this time. (Same for Erikson in Corvallis, btw). ...

As for the Sonics ... I doubt they will find a taker for the spent Ewing. And Payton is about to do a meltdown. Of course, not to worry super Sonic fans; you have Wally "Wonder?" Walker to guide your ship ... into an iceberg . ...

As for the NBA? I played B-ball and have been a near life-long fan of the league. But in recent years I've finally gotten turned off big time by the WWF type of set up home court happiness for the 'fans' via the rediculously obvious reffing bias. It's now as obvious as the pro-wrassler punch that misses by 5" and the reciever falls to the mat holding the missed facial! Only the NBA has to allow TV replays to prove it! And of course the character of the jerks that are making multiple millions a year to play is downright assinign. I still watch the NBA, only not as much. I no longer
get upset if the team I perfer to win loses - especially on the road against an average 12 point advantage margin given the home team by the refs, by mandate from the offices in New York. Gettin pretty ugly. And gettin time to watch other sports more than the NBA! - RT

Know NBA and No NBA

I will admit Walker is useless as a GM. The day Whitsitt left for Portland is the day the Sonics started going downhill.

But from what I understand, didnt Bob say that when the Blazers win the championship he would propose to Fishgal. Maybe this could be the year. But with little immature Wallace screwing things up it could be another year or so...

Man do you ever have that one right rt! the blazers suck and the NBA is heading that way altogether. Too bad. I don't like hockey so do you suppose Paul Allen will bring an NFL team to Portland?

Good eyes Justin - you won! Check out your "RT exposed ...where's thte money?" thread for details. ....

So, some Blazer playoff run slogans huh, Os. Let's see ...

- Bed Hot & Strollin

- We may not hit the basket but we'll hit
your face!

- GEEZ Sabas, just pull down his pants!

- Mind Over Fatter

- Come Watch 'SHEED, Our Newest Towel Boy

Goodnight, zzzzzzzzz more slogans tomorrow afternoon.

Payton to Portland ...Ya right...get real.He's got more heart than you're whole team :p

You can say what you want about Gary but compared to Rasheed he's Mother Teresa

Lakers in 3!!!!!!

Rt ....always sniveling about the refs ....if you score more points than the other team you take the refs out of the equation.

I just don't get it the Blazers have more indivdual talent than anyone else in the league......Thats why it's a team sport.....maybe they should try that concept.....Oh well maybe next year...Os

Os, I can't diagree with anything you said in your post above. Or with anything I said in mine. I think we're pretty close on our NBA takes actually.
