amazing
Love is actually averaging only 0.5 rebounds per game.
The eye test fails again!
I haven't written an insightful post in years.
This confirms that Blazers fans are morons.
One of the dumbest arguments I’ve ever seen. But if they want to play that game it’s not to hard to find big holes in LMA’s game, or Roys game.

Or Roy's knees.
Whenever I'm about to do something, I think "would an idiot do that?" and if they would, I do not do that thing.
Actually, it's Oden's knees that have holes...
Roy’s knees are missing stuffing, Przybilla’s knee was popped lose, and Camby’s knee has a ripped stuffing piece, and Williams and Pendergraph have torn connecting bits…
Be precise!

There are actually holes
in his knees? Damn.
popped loose, ripped stuffing piece, and torn connecting bits and you’re telling me to be precise? :-p

You sense a certain irony in my phrasing, do you?

Actually, we Blazer fans are connoisseurs of knee injuries at this point...
Microfracture happens due to a hole (lesion) in the covering cartilage on the end of the femur bone. They go in and drill a bunch of little holes into the bone itself and the bone reforms cartilage material in the area of the lesion.
The surgeries Roy has had, in which damaged meniscus cartilage between the bone has been removed (2 operations each knee prior to his new double operation on both knees), has taken away material that does not regenerate. He has to learn how to manage the swelling and pain, undergo transplant surgery (never done before on an active player and said to be unlikely to work well given the rigors of the game), or he is screwed.

Author pulled the post...
“…I was already making Wolves fans angry and it had only been up a couple hours. I hate stuff like that. They don’t need another person telling them their team sucks.
Plus, I think I am wrong about some of my interpretations. I didn’t know for example that a blocked shot, even if it never leaves the hands, could technically turn into a rebound even after if bounces off a bunch of people and rolls on the floor. It seems wrong to me, but I’m not entirely positive about that one.
I just want to be nice and accurate and I’m not sure I was either of those things."
I thought it was an interesting piece, coming in the wake of the 3 rebounds in 3 seconds in garbage time ending of the last Blazer game…

He pulled it?
Stupid.

Fortunately, Norsktroll save it as a pdf:

Why not? For what it's worth...
It beats discussing Trade Machine scenarios, does it not?

for sure
It is a very interesting discussion. But NVE saw that it was wrong to single out Love, cuz everyone is effected by the home cooking stat preference thing.

That seems to be correct.

The Blazers suck.
The only reason they’re bothering to rip our team is because their bright shiney future has been blown out along with the knees of Roy, Oden, Pryz, Camby and whoever the heck else is crippled over there now.
You haven't watched them lately have you?
They’re not an elite team, but they’re clearly a good playoff bound team and LMA is killing it lately.
