Based on an interview with Jason Quick, this report implies Damian is being developed like Z BO? Maybe the resentment is coming from Quick who wants to go back covering the ducks?

"While the exact figures of the eight-year deal were not immediately known, a person with knowledge of the contract said it is smaller only than that of Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose (reportedly $185 million over 13 years with Adidas) and the Miami Heat's LeBron James (reportedly $20 million annually with Nike) among NBA players. If certain incentives are met, the deal could extend to 10 years. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the financial terms are not typically disclosed."

The entire video I couldn't keep the smile off my face. The way these guys bond together and joke around makes it great to root for these guys. Go Blazers!

Blowing one bad game way out of context. Wonder what he thought about the 4th quarter of the Jazz game.

I'll be interested to see how they look, especially Beverly. I still don't quite follow how he's back from a meniscus tear after 8 games.

RoLo, of course, only needs a two second appearance to name all four.

For the second time in as many nights (and just a blown 14-pt lead with 4:35 in the 4th qtr away from three games in a row), the Denver Nuggets have knocked off one of our closest playoff competitors. Last night they took it to Houston, tonight squeaked one out against Golden State. The Warriors are now 2 games back in the loss column with 4 to play. I think the magic number for 5th place at worst is 2 then? Anyway, we owe you guys a Christmas card for the effort, thanks Denver!

Got some great stuff in there, including his new nickname: Swaggissippi.
