So as you all know I am a big Blazer Fan. I don't know if you guys knew how connected I am to the organization. I thought I'd show you how my facebook wall has looked during this offseason. (There are some inside jokes from Blazer Fan circles, hopefully you guys get most of the jokes). The stupid embedded code I have doesn't seem to work on any website I have tried to add it on, so sorry people you have to click one more time. Check it out here.

Lol, background information:
- The media speculated some of the team vets (Crawford, Raymond, Camby and/or Wallace) conspired to get Nate McMillan fired, they speculated Crawford was in the center of it and wanted to be traded at the deadline, which he of course denied when asked about it
- Raymond Felton is fat
- I don't know if this was just Portland media or national, but a lot of people speculated on Drummond's basketball and general IQ, a lot of talk about seeing in his eyes an "emptiness" which led to a lot of jokes about that in Blazer Blogs
- People say Aldridge and Batum play too soft, there are people saying Leonard has the same title, but in the pre-draft tryouts for the Blazers he supposedly made Zeller his bitch
- Exotica is a gentlemens club (aka nice strip club) in Portland where Zach Randolph and Darius Miles used to frequent and had a few incidents there while they were on the Blazers
- Paul Allen gets man crushes on PGs in the drafts (ie Sebatian Telfer, Jarrett Jack, Jerryd Bayless, Sergio Rodruigez, Patty Mills, Armon Johnson, Nolan Smith, Damian Lillard) The story is in the 2005 draft with the #3 pick Paul really wanted Deron Williams, Kevin Pritchard who was a GM assistant really wanted Chris Paul, the GM at the time John Nash convinced Paul to trade down, draft Martell Webster and then trade for Jarrett Jack instead, another great drafting move by this lovely franchise
- Luke Babbitt sucks and everything basketball related besides shooting wide open threes
- There was some random story that came out from left field, when we knew the finalists for the GM position were David Morway, Jeff Bower, Chad Buchanan and Neil Olshey that Paul Allen didn't like Jeff Bower because he was fat, he didn't trust David Morway because of some past sketchy business deals he has been investigated for (David eventually was let go and our old GM Pritchard was moved to the GM position in Indiana), he didn't believe Neil did anything really good as GM since he was an assistant GM when Griffen and Jordan were drafted and the Chris Paul trade he didn't have to do much since NO was wanting to give Paul away anyway and that it was Chad's job to lose, it was a really weird article
- Dwight Jaynes is a writer, bloger and sports TV show host in Portland who always acts like he has "insiders scoop" on things, but most of the time his facts aren't quite correct
- Voodoo Donuts is a donut place Portland is famous for that make specialty donuts (like the Voodoo doll donut, the cream-filled Cock and Balls donut, the Fruit Loops donut and their famous Bacon-Maple Bar)
- Nicolas Batum's agent may not be the devil, but I believe he is a first cousin of his
- Larry Miller who was our team president stepped down to go back to work for the Jordan Brand in July, I assume with a big pay raise
- Paul Allen is filthy rich, incase you didn't know it
- Cali and Cavalli are some rappers out of Seattle who know Brandon from growing up. There was a charity event Jamal Crawford held a couple summers ago, Roy was there and these dudes had a camera and were recording it. Well in their music video, can't remember the name but they say "we makin' money out here" a bunch in it, they used the footage they took from the event included footage of them and Brandon Roy. This was all without his knowledge. The video also included a close up of someone packing a joint with weed and rolling it as well as other stuff you typically see in a rap video. There was a bit of media backlash on Brandon from it.
- There is a joke on Blazer Blogs that David Kahn is now obsessed with the Blazers team a few years ago after he traded for Martell Webster a couple years ago, signed Roy, tried to steal Batum, apparently almost traded for Dante Cunningham and tried to sign Pryzbilla
