    Can someone tell me about the Blazers dress code, specifically the players not wearing head bands?  The reason I ask is that Gerald Wallace used to have a mouth piece when he played in Charlotte.  He didn't really use - it kind of just flopped around half in his mouth while he chewed on it all game long.  When he was traded to Portland I noticed he lost the head band and the mouth piece, but I heard Mike and Mike during a game day telecast say that Coach McMillan is allowing Gerald to wear the head band - seems odd to me that he's allowed Gerald to wear it but not the other players.  Did Gerald lose the mouth piece in exchange for the head band?

    I know it's not a serious topic but I'm just curious to know if there's a dress code for the team...so the question is real.

    When Wallace joined the Blazers I noticed that he had his mouth piece but not his head band - now he wears a head band but the mouth piece is gone.  When I heard on a game day telecast that head bands were not allowed I wondered if Crash had negotiated to wear his head band if he got rid of the mouth piece.

    Just curious...

    Dante used a mouth piece. That isn't a fashion thing its a protect your teeth thing. Wallace feels more comfortable with his headband. It is what it is. That doesn't mean others can't use a head band. But why add a headband if you never use them?

    the blazer coach discriminates over clothing its really that simple.


    its clear that nate is the perfect coach for portland, because like most of its fan base, he too believes in superstions and game day rituals, however he is unable to realize that following and abiding by these rules has yet to win him a ring.

    Speculators say- "hey nate maybe if your guys were allowed to wear headbands they wouldnt have all that sweat on their face causin em to miss shots."

    or it could be none of those and be a more simple reasoning.....

    i wear a headband or a hat when i play because i have a head of hair and i tend to sweat over just thinking about playing basketball, so in other words i look like odom when i play, they help keep that wierd tingle feeling like an itch you recognize but are refusing to scratch, its annoying, imo, maybe GW doesnt like to have a gang of sweat on his face, like rondo.ha

    Yeah, he was tripping with that Scottie Pippen reference. Nowhere as good as him, BUUUTTT, I think he can be, if he plays like a man. In Euroleague, you are taught more about finesse, and the fundamentals. He needs to put a little more muscle on, ...

    I think what Stotts is doing is superb. His plays are great. I remember the only play he ever called for Meyers Leonard, against the Bobcats. Great movement, got LMA a good mid range look, got Batum a decent three look and the got Meyers way down ...
