Here is Clyde Drexler. You might remember him.
Number of rings Clyde won with Portland: ZERO.
Here's our friend Clyde again...
And hey, look at that! Clyde won a ring with the Rockets...!
Houston 1, Portland 0.
Just to fan the flames a little.

Houston 2, Portland 0
(atleast in the clyde category)

Frankly, that Clyde works as a color guy for Houston evens it out. He is TERRIBLE
my all time favorite Blazer, though, and a truly decent person

Clyde is the Man !!
Favorite all time Blazer for this 34 year Blazermaniac. He may
not be the greatest color man, but a true class act. I was very sad to
see him go to Houston, but happy for him when he won his ring !
As one of the Blazermaniac’s getting blacked out by the evil Monopoly
that is COINCAST, I listened to a lot of radio and Harvey is terrible.
I’d love to have Clyde as our color man !
GO BLAZERS !!! COINCAST SUCKS !! KGW playoffs rule !!!@!

as painful as it was that Clyde's Blazer teams never won it all
I think most of us Blazer fans were thrilled for Clyde that he won with his hometown team. He certainly deserved it. What a player. What a guy.
Clyde is also (in my opinion) an absolutely terrible, awful, painful, unwatchable color commentator.

Of course the blazers fans
think clyde is a horrible color guy because he works for another team. But hes better than alot of the espn color guys and clyde, the bull, and worrell all together are a funny trio

i disagree completely
Clyde is better than some of the ESPN studio guys (Jon Barry for example) but not any of their color commentators. Clyde is extremely biased and essentially calls any foul against Houston a “flop” by the other team.
If Clyde was the Blazer broadcaster, I’d like him better (I have someone of a soft spot for the Blazer broadcasters— who are pretty big homers themselves— even though I know they aren’t very good).
Clyde is easily in the bottom half of local team color commentators in my opinion.
by jksnake99 on Apr 16, 2009 5:01 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
actually Barry does do some color commentary now-- my bad--
so Clyde is better than 1 of the ESPN color commentators.

Saying Clyde is better than Jon Barry isn't saying a whole lot
But at least Clyde doesn’t sound like a stupid drunk redneck asshole all night like Mike Rice does.

of course Clyde is biased
THATS HIS JOB. He is the Rockets color guy, not the “unbiased” network guys. He is paid by the team and works for the team. His job is to make the rockets look good. And to be honest it is flopping alot and flopping is starting to ruin the nba.
And how many games have you watched on another teams broadcast, cause once is not enough to form an opinion.
Also, its difficult to compare network commentators and local commentators because they have different jobs, but most network guys are bad when it comes to being unbiased.

I prefer the local guys who are less biased (the Blazers guys are pretty biased also which I don’t like). I think the job is to call the games, not to make the home team look good.

The ex-Sonics play by play guy
Kevin Calabro is the best in the business, bar none.
And I know he called the ESPN game last night, I can only hope the Blazers pulled their head out of their butts and fire Mike and hire him.
Lets just say the color/play by play for both teams in this series will be dreadfully homeristic both ways.

While he’s kind of goofy and annoying, the Clippers guy Lawler scores big points on the unbiased-ness scale also.

or if you have someone who is biased, put in someone else to balance them out. I hate every foul being called a flop if it’s not.

I think there's argument there
I’d have to pull stats, and i don’t do that (thankfully others on BE will, which helps me there), but I remember that his shooting percentage was horrible. Also, as I argue for the blazer team, defense and offense require team work. The more a team comes together the better they get. I would argue he and the team were still figuring each other out after a prolonged absence.
I would be willing to agree if you provided stats that backed all that up. Personally, i was along the same line of thought back then and stick with it now. I’d be interested in team plus and minus that year before and after jordan, shooting percentage of jordan. Jordan’s personal plus and minus and so on. I’m sure there are other stats that some stat geeks could use. I wish i was one of them, but links and facts and stuff are such hard work! That’s why i only make about three real posts on BE a year.

It was a weird circumstance, rooting for a team which isn’t your own just because a player that you feel is your own is playing meaningful games. Though I never got as excited as when we were playing the Bulls or the Pistons in the Finals, watching him play as a Rocket was still awesome.

so, there’s no jealousy here. Y’all can think you have the best of everything. You may have the best of somethings. i’m fine with that. but learn to accept when other things are better, or learn to see what you think is the best may be a bit overrated.

Careful there...
When you guys post a blog post with the intention of starting a fire don’t start complaining when we get a bit edgy. It kinds goes like this… once upon a time there was a guy taking a walk in the woods happily strolling singing and being kind and well behaved. A thug approached him and whacked him over the head with a stick – and asked are you mad yet? When the gentleman said, “why yes I am” the thug and co. were surprised that hitting people with sticks makes them a little edgy. The End.

Point Taken
You’re right about the Bulls having nothing down low. But I don’t think Jordan trembled much when he faced Maxwell—more likely Maxwell with Olajuwon backing him slowed Jordan.

Am I surprised that at the age of 32, Clyde Drexler left Portland to return to the part of the country he grew up in, the Gulf Coast, to play with Hakeem again and get that monkey of Phi Slama Jama failure off his back? No.

I’m actually more into Thai and Lebanese food, but I didn’t think they would know what that was

No beer and no ethnic food
Are you sure you lived in Oregon. Maybe you just didn’t find the right beer. Give it another chance

i didn't say NO ethnic food
I’m a fan of Persian, greek, sushi, mexican (the real mexican, nothing of which i’ve ever found up there sadly), and many others…just not a fan of what you mentioned.
I’m allergic to something in beer. makes me throw up BEFORE i’m stinky drunk.
I just prefer Meat and Potatoes. preferably medium rare meat. with garlic mashed potatoes.

i like
the beer shakes. Those are awesome. Food itself, you’re better off at some of the other finer restaurants.
As for artsy versus charred flesh, that’s a matter of personal taste. I’ve had food in portland that has made me pause and savor each bite because it blew my taste buds.
I’m not saying that Houston doesn’t have that, but Portland has some VERY good restaurants and food.

oh, so close
and yet so stupid.
If A makes a true statement
A: The sky is blue
and B makes a claim about general sentiment
B: But most people think the sky is green
then B has neither adressed A’s point nor said anything particularly interesting.
So TexasHoosier makes a true statement:
TH: GWB is not a Houstonian, and not all Texans supported him.
and then YaoZedong makes a claim about general sentiment:
YZ: But everyone thinks he is and you do
Then YZ has neither adressed TH’s point nor said anything interesting. Who cares? At some point, everyone believed that the earth was the center of the universe, and the fact that everyone believed that had no bearing on the truth of Copernicus’ statements.
Really, you’re the one arguing a point out of ignorance – you don’t care what the truth is, you only want your preconceived notions and stereotypes to be confirmed. It’s really an ironic situation – you seem to think you’re some sort of liberal, rational bastion, when you’re just a reactionary asshole. Congrats, dipshit.
I bet your Grandpa’s fat, and you drive an SUV that runs on $20 bills.
