    The Portland Trailblazers

    They had the halftime lead in every game but the first, twice by double digits. They had a fourth quarter lead in 2/5, and were down 1 and 2 points in two other games. The Warriors just know how to get it done in crunch time. The Blazers would succumb to bad habits while the Warriors would stay...

    The Portland Trailblazers

    Rest assured, by "sensibilities" are doing just fine. My issue is that people (not just you) have popped into the thread solely to say "NBA sucks because Sonics." I understand why people feel that way, but it's not relevant to a discussion about another team. If you refuse to follow the NBA...

    The Portland Trailblazers

    Given their competitiveness in this series, I want to think this bodes well for the team's future. And maybe it does to a certain extent. But unlike past up-and-coming teams that arguably had most of the talent they needed already on the roster, this team's roster just doesn't feel like it's...

    The Portland Trailblazers

    You know you're not required to post in this thread, right? Everybody outside OKC knows Seattle got screwed. I don't begrudge any Sonics fan swearing off the NBA until they get their team back. But those of us who still have a rooting interest get tired of that being contributed to every...

    The Portland Trailblazers

    The way they let Golden State dominate the glass was unacceptable. If they're going to even sniff competitiveness in this series, they need to at least win the rebounding battle.

    Frank Clark

    I don't care what position Clark plays as long as he can get after the QB in obvious passing situations. He does that, he's easily worth the draft pick.

    BJ Daniels Released

    He'll probably never be a starter, but he could be a decent backup. Last year the Hawks screwed around with him, trying him at receiver in training camp before switching him back to QB at the end of the preseason. I think he could benefit from focusing solely on QB. I remember the preseason...

    Why Nkemdiche could be the Seahawk's First Round Pick

    I'm not exactly sure what point you're trying to make, but I'm responding to the claim above that "at this point last year most regarded Clark like most view Nkemdiche now." I'm pointing out that there are smart people who don't view their situations as being the same. Maybe the Hawks DO think...

    Why Nkemdiche could be the Seahawk's First Round Pick

    Fair enough. But my impression is still that Clark had much less of a history than Nkemdiche. Maybe that's wrong. Either way, I think the key factor is that the team has to feel comfortable that the player's issue are firmly in the past. Obviously we just don't know what the team thinks about...

    Why Nkemdiche could be the Seahawk's First Round Pick

    I don't think they're comparable situations. For one thing, Frank Clark really did have just one incident. The Hawks looked into it and decided they were comfortable with whatever they found, and that a similar incident was unlikely to recur. Nkemdiche has a history of incidences, and during the...

    Golden State Warriors

    True, but they probably will win it all.

    Meet the Seahawks athletic freak LT...

    How do you expect this unnamed "big fat immoveable object guy" to fare against speed rushers coming around the edge?

    How many offensive linemen will we draft?

    I think we ought to dispel with the notion that you absolutely MUST go into the draft with all your needs met. For one thing, I don't think that's always possible. I'd even suggest that it's generally NOT possible. That mindset can also be a recipe for overpaying for mediocre or bad free agents...

    How many offensive linemen will we draft?

    I think they'll draft 3, with 2 of them coming in the first four picks (i.e. rounds 1-3).

    John Schneider lays out projected offensive line

    The only player in that lineup who truly concerns me is Britt. Maybe Webb, since I've never seen him play and what I've read about him isn't exactly glowing, but Cable at least has a good track record with veteran O-liners. I really like Gilliam at LT and Glow at RG, and Lewis at C is at least...

    Russell Okung signs with Broncos ($53m/5yr OR $5m/1yr)

    At the moment I believe the Sowell and Webb signings cancel out the picks we would get for Mebane and Sweezy, though that could change depending on how the rest of FA plays out. I'm guessing when all is said and done, Mebane will be canceled out by Webb, while the Sweezy pick will stand. The...

    OT Bradley Sowell agrees to 1-year $1.5 million dollar deal

    Bailey was an RFA, so he doesn't count towards comp picks.

    Free agency theme for 2016: Found Money.

    I guess it's a good thing we have this thing called "the draft" coming up. Seriously, though, the best teams do most of their "improving" via solid drafting and player development. Free agency is just the occasional cherry on top.

    How are we so Cap strapped?

    Sounds like the OP is upset that we don't have enough cap space to re-sign literally every one of our guys. Isn't it common knowledge that no team can do that? Frankly, I think the FO has done a phenomenal job of holding on to the key players. If it had been me, I probably would have let a few...

    The Portland Trailblazers

    It wasn't pretty, and it sure looked like the schedule affected them. Fortunately, they'll get a day off before each of the next two games. If they can play well (not necessarily win, but at least play well in a losing effort) against Toronto and beat Detroit, this will have been a very...
