    I love my blazers and like how they play, but there is always ways to improve and these are some of the areas i see:

    - Roy is the leader. that being said he needs to call more people out and assert himself more in my opinion it needs to be how he wants it, not anyone else
    - Fernandez go bye. i love the guy and there's nothing better than being in the garden down by 2 and rudy hittin one of his crazy threes, but he just isn't clutch enough and over thinks his play way too much.
    - Nate, bayless has more than earned his role and playing time make it happen. No signing guards or anything. no more blake or anyone else, it is now miller and bayless all the way
    - IF pendergraph and cunningham continue to work hard, i think they have earned it. Not many rookies (especially second rounders) can fufill the roles they did this year. I say bravo
    - Oden or Pryzbilla, one of you is coming back and getting big minutes. Stats and size say Oden, experience says pryz. get healthy and get ready
    - On the note of Oden, i supported your pick from day one and still do, that being said your on the last straw. I know your ginormous, but do something to keep your knees healthy (i support him cause it's easy to stand back and say durant was the pick now, but honestly, how many said that when we picked oden)
    - keep the core of this team all around. once everyone is healthy (playoffs without some of your mains and no 7 footers and second most days missed with injurys is impressive) they will thrive.
    - i cant think of a better SF combo than Batum and Webster. it just screams awesome. That being said Batum your too nice sometimes. When your ferocious you get 30 points. When your dull, your stat sheet looks like mine (i played sophomore level bball)
    - Your being bullied blazers. you let yourselves get pushed around too much; so what if garnett hit you hit him back. so what if barkley says you suck; go out there and win by 40. you control your game no one else does. if you toughen up and dont take crap, you'd be suprised how much easier things might get

    Possibly mopre to come later thanks for listening to me rant

    On the Oden front, I wonder if he has thought of playing with knee pads for the rest of his career like Ewing used it. It would not have prevented his kneecap from breaking, but he would not have suffered the hairline fracture he suffered against Corey Maggette last season.

    Agreed, we need more toughness. I don't know why we get bullied around inside. It didn't happen when we had a healthy Oden and Joel this year, but I think our reserves, outside of Bayless and sometimes Martell, need to just get more aggressive and tough out there on the court.

    First need is a centre. And no one will take ten and 13 for 4th or 5th. After like the 10th pick the talent off is huge.

    But I feel like worse teams than us would offer that so you never know he might want to come back where it all started... then again he could hate us with a passion and want to go absolutely anywhere else
