Thank you so much for your eloquent expression of support for Gerald.  We here in the Pacific Northwest truly appreciate honest effort and many of us believe that Gerald is a perfect fit for this team and this fan base.

Great thread.  We're happy to have Wallace here and we have seen already a lot of what you're talking about.  Not only that but we've seen some of the Bobcats and our current players learn from that.  Gerald plays the game with effort and energy, and I do believe that's what will take us to the next level.

Welcome to the Blazers.

All you have to do to learn how I feel about GW being a Blazer is read my fan statement below.  He plays the game the way I'm raising my son to live his life...make every moment count as if it is your last, no regrets.

I can personally attest to the "Role Model" assertion you make with regard to Gerald.  Before the Atlanta game on the 27th of February, Wallace was among the most sought after of autographs by the kids in attendance for YMCA Night.  He must have signed everything put in front of him, happily doing so and all while only having been in town for a matter of hours.  Truly a gentleman and an ambassador to the game.  He may remember signing for my son, as he was the only one with a Gerald Wallace basketball card.  Thank you Mr. Wallace.  Much respect.

Great post! Thanks for the insight on Crash. I'm already loving what he's bringing to the table so far.

Great Post! Crash definitely fits here and is great to watch! He is quickly becoming a fan favorite- appreciate the insight and glad to have you join Blazer Nation!

Times like that this forum just needs a like button. No words are needed really. Just a simple *like*. :p

Dumb post. We know Wallace has fans, we know how hard he play and we don't need you telling us. 

We have eyes, eyes and common sense. We don't care if you are or were a Bobcat fan....

Such a pointless post..

Must not of heard the saying = If you don't have something nice to say,  don't say anything at all. TIKI

Sorry for reading posts ON A FORUM! LOL!

I love how you just start name calling. Real mature buddy. I'm entitled to my opinion, he's entitled to his. I bet calling me names makes you feel pretty tough, huh?

And yes, I'm serious. One more thing, its "their", not "there"

Posted 03/19/2011 12:20 PM

If you want to get into syntax and grammatical issues with posts then why be redundant and list eyes twice? Not to mention "play" should have an "s" at the end of it for correct subject verb agreement. Not to mention I bet it made you feel real tough to put down the creator of this thread much like how you attempt to call out freddead for the same basic thing. Do you see the irony? 

Posted 03/19/2011 5:22 PM

nah tiki is allowed to say what he wants ( even though he should not have said that) but just leave it be instead of everyone riding in on their white red and black high horse and play pius peace maker, the only person who should of made a comment back to tiki is a moderator via message or the creator of the thread (original poster)

but there is no irony in that, just annoying. :D
go jimmer!

Posted 03/20/2011 9:43 PM

Obviously Tay doesn't know what irony means.

Posted 03/21/2011 8:29 PM

but i do know what retarded is and i envision your face when i hear it.:D

Posted 03/21/2011 10:01 PM

Quite the imagination there Tay. I'm impressed.

Posted 03/22/2011 12:53 PM

Portland fans are faithful so hopefully we don't trade Gerald.  GO BLAZERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted 03/23/2011 7:09 PM

trade him, he just got here . huh.

Posted 03/25/2011 2:54 PM

I appreciate the hustle factor that he has brought.  He motivates our boys in black (or white, or red) with his drive and apparent passion for the game and for winning.  They have all stepped up their energy since he joined us.  Welcome to Blazerdome!  :)

Great post Territory30, excuse some of the people claiming to be fans, with a team that polarizes a region as strongly as the blazers, you get hardcore d-bags along with the hardcore good people. Trolls Trolls Trolls.

Posted 03/25/2011 4:33 PM

oh i would love to see who decides on who is a "hardcore good person or a Dbag"
Polarizes? hahaha.

 the Ohklahoma City Thunder have not only spiritually but economically boosted their city's stats. the town with the smallest population of a town with an NBA team, is literally feeling the complete opposite effects of the "recession" the rest of the country is battling with. 
their players are so involved in the community within the heart of the city, they really are killin it.

Posted 03/28/2011 8:44 AM

It's been less than 2 weeks since my initial post - and not surprisingly Crash continues to play his eye balls out.  The stat book shows 40 points last night - but the guy must have created 6 OKC turnovers by taking charges and throwing himself on the floor to draw the attention of the refs for illegal screens.  Can anyone name me one other player that does what this guy does?  The guy loves to play and is a fierce, fierce competitor.  He doesn't back down to anyone.  How many guys in this league dive for loose balls just to keep them alive.  A lot might hit the floor to CLAIM a loose ball, but Gerald dives for balls just to keep them alive so that someone else can get it.  I'd hate to play against this guy - he's just a nuisance to deal with it - and if you don't match his effort - you'll lose.  And if you try to match his effort - you'll likely have a bad game, i.e. Kevin Durant last night.  Despite the loss, last night was awesome to watch and I'm glad he's starting again.  I can already tell the rest of the team is following his lead and playing just a little bit harder.  The playoffs are going to be exciting! 

Go Blazers.

As for the hate mail from the original post - there is no monopoly on stupid so I can't waste my time with people that only try to tear down intelligence b/c they are mad at the world.

Posted 03/28/2011 5:20 PM

wait.....
are you just a fan of Gerald Wallace?
because it said "bobcats fan" and you mention not being able to root for kobe anymore? so when rooting for Kobe, would that qualify you for a "laker fan"

im sorry, i guess my being so monopolistically stupid creates some "grey areas" on your post.

and yes it is, ad verb.

Posted 03/30/2011 9:44 AM

Nothing gray about the post - I'd rather eat glass than root for Kobe.  Reread the original post and focus - maybe it'll click.

And yes - I'm a Gerald Wallace fan that has followed his NBA journey to Portland - so that makes me a Portland fan.  Go Blazers!

Lastly Tay - you are not monopolistically stupid - the point that you missed is that because there is no monopoly on intelligence, or in this case lack thereof, anyone can say foolish things to be negative.  It's much easier to tear something down than build it up - a point you are proving with your negative energy.

Posted 03/31/2011 4:58 PM

whoa, you can feel energy through the web?

intense, who is you internet service provider?

Posted 04/01/2011 4:12 AM

Thats the one thing I miss seeing day in and day out is his drive and unselfishness. Im still a Bobcats fan probably always will be, but Portland has a new follower. The post basically describes everything Crash was to the Bobcats, and for as long as he was in Charlotte, he was the Bobcats (well maybe it was Emeka's team the first year or two) but Emeka never bought anything to the table Crash did. So Portland be glad you got one hell of a player and one more supporter.

P.S. About my name I'm not a troll or anything, I'm just being honest with everyone here.

Posted 04/01/2011 7:47 PM

yeah what was emaka's deal?
did he just flop out?
or pull a kwame? i thought he for sure was finna ball but i guess notttttt

Posted 04/01/2011 8:09 PM

I wouldn't say he was a bust (Emeka) he averaged a double-double every year he was in Charlotte. He caught the injury bug the second year and he wasn't a human highlight reel like the person drafted before him. He was that guy who was consistent but never too flashy. Alot of people complained about that but I never minded. They traded him away for his contract (Emeka's current deal has him wayyyyy overpaid, Tyson Chandler had less years and was also traded away for money). I just personally think his deal was he was never the "Star" type.
