  I was thinking the same thing. You have to walk off the court like LeBron on 60 minutes...like you do it everyday!!! LOL
  I made a 3 quarter length buzzer beater my freshman year in highschool. I ran point and actually thought that we were up 1, I got the inbounds pass, saw the double-team coming, and just threw the ball towards our basket to let time expire in mid air. It went in...turns out, we were DOWN 1. No one found out that I didn't know until my senior year!!! LMAONo one on the corner got a swagger like Qwest...lol

Greg,
What a nice shot, but what was even cooler to me was the way you were interacting with those kids. You are an awesome person and an incredible basketball player. I have loved seeing some of your best plays this year...and am looking forward to you in a Blazer uniform for many years to come.

Greg your a beast bro that was sick. It looked like somebody near the basket was trying to block your shot though. But I am positive that those kids will remember that day for the rest of their lives. Be well my man, all the best - Steiny

  Greg if they keep calling B.S. fouls on you make the fouls count like you did to Westbrook!

    LMAO.

  yeah i try to make the fouls count sometimes its so bad that i dont even think im gonna get called for it so i just let it go then they call me and im surprised
  - rickdawg replied April 12, 2009
    
    yeah man you've gotten the raw end of the deal on quite a few calls this season. It's probably super hard to know when foul hard because it seems you get called for the tiny things that aren't really fouls (or travels for that matter. I think they only watch your feet because Shaq and Dwight Howard, Ilgauskas, hell even Bynum is allowed to walk with the ball, but you catch it they're calling traveling, ridiculous). In the Clipper game though, they actually called 2 fouls when guys hacked you. That was surprising. I mean I saw when Carlos Boozer just wrapped your arm up and there was no foul call, or when Kurt Thomas forearmed you to the face, then wrapped your arm and you got called for a double foul.
    
    Just keep up the good work big fella. Soon enough the refs will start to adjust to your game, it takes them as much time to figure you out as it takes you to figure THEM out. Don't worry, it'll all be gravy. Just keep up the hard work and RIP CITY BABY!! GO BLAZERS.
    
    Oh also, how's your knee? Not the microfracture one (I'm assuming that's fine) but the bone chipped one. Is that better than when you first came back? Or are you still having to play with a lot of pain? Well good luck G.O. the rest of the season and playoffs. Just know no matter what happens the rest of the season, you guys have far exceeded expectations and this WHOLE city of Portland (and surrounding areas as I'm down in McMinnville) support you guys. Keep up the good hard work. GO BLAZERS!

trailblazed said April 02, 2009

Hey Greg! I read a comment that says just don't try takin shots like that in a game, I say its ok to take shots like that in games but only if you guys have a 10 point or more lead with seconds left til the buzzer lol! Anyways way to sink it like that, I know them kids will remember that for a long time.

Playoffs here we come!!!! Tough loss in Houston last night but it's all good, we're back in the dance. Now go get home court.

Rosecity07 said April 07, 2009

That was a nice take on Yao but you gotta finish that dunk. Are you trying to get your hops back or is that all nerves? Anyway, I'm glad you started to play well at the end of that game. Just need to foul Yao hella hard if you are going to foul him.

Awesome shot. We love that you are the real deal and so great with the kids. Thanks for being real and wearing those bracelets every game. You are genuine and that's what we love about you here in Ptown. Tell us you are going to retire here big man with all them rings. You Broy and LMA + Rudy = Dynasty in the making.
