Batum! Goes the dynamite!

[Q, West Coast Style]

Coming to a Portland-area billboard soon. I just want to be on record as coining the phrase.

Dins, how ridiculous is this kid? The next Pippen, but in a likeable package.

Great talent, to be sure. He kinda came up as a D-Leaguer, who learned the game so quickly he made the roster.

If tempted to compare him to a youthful version of another player, it's been Dennis Rodman.


But... the honeymoon is probably going to end this week. Martell Webster is going to take his job back -- rightfully so, since he's a better player at this point. Not sure whose minutes will see the biggest decline when Martell returns, but I'm guessing Batum will be the odd man out. Outlaw might see a reduction, unless he can figure out how to pass out of some of the ridiculous coverage he tries to shoot through.


Red Hot and Rollin', baby.

Brandon is on the brink of breaking into the "elite class" with the big names.

All is good in Rip City these days.
