Comments on: Travis Outlaw Doesn’t Get It http://dimemag.com/2008/09/travis-outlaw-doesnt-get-it/ Dime is your daily source for NBA News, NBA Trades, NBA Rumors, NBA Videos and Sneakers Mon, 13 Feb 2012 07:02:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Blazer Fan http://dimemag.com/2008/09/travis-outlaw-doesnt-get-it/comment-page-1/#comment-67998 Blazer Fan Thu, 04 Sep 2008 06:22:50 +0000 http://dimemag.com/?p=3227#comment-67998 This is an excellent review of that article... your comments were exactly what many Blazers fans were saying after reading this. Outlaw is a decent player with big holes in his game. Hopefully, this was just a bad portrayal of how Outlaw feels. I was certainly hoping that Outlaw was working on going to the hoop, his dribble... etc and not just his Jump shot all summer. Nate McMillan was probably a bit disapointed after reading this article too... Outlaw better come into camp with open ears... I would like to see a season where Trout is dunking the ball every game.

Some more truthful than others. But, one thing is for sure, that if the Blazers trade him they are going too get the better end of the deal.

Then read this post from Blazersedge: http://www.blazersedge.com/2008/9/1/605867/reaction-to-the-outlaw-art As much as i love my blazers getting some national attention, i hate it when people take quotes out of context without understanding the whole scenario. It would be easier if you all were just Blazer fans for life. Before everyone condemns Outlaw, read all of the articles on Outlaw this week from the Oregonian and watch all the video too.

Why didn't you mention the context of his comments? Here is the context of those comments... "On cue, Outlaw in the eatery begins to shed the bashful, quiet persona he carries in Portland. He morphs into his comfort zone, his Mississippi self, where he trash talks with his older brother, John Jr., and his cousin, Kenny, a lieutenant with the MSU police force, and makes jokes about how his dad critiques his game." Later in the article he refers to his comments he made while trash talking with his family while at the restaurant... "Later, back at his home and away from the slangy, bravado that went on at the eatery, Outlaw admits he was playing." Ok Patrick…let’s not misrepresent what Outlaw said.

Outlaw is a decent pro. When you improve every year statistically, that shows a team that you still have room to grow. Outlaw apparently doesn't want to play for the Blazers anymore, so he's expandable. I don't know what dude makes next year but I guarantee his trigger happy ass won't be on the Blazers that long. The Blazers aren't letting that shit fly after seeing Roy and Aldridge look so good, Oden, Fernandez and Bayless waiting to play they're rookie seasons. Thats three rookies that have legits shot at making all-rookie first team. So once again Outlaw is expandable. Someone seems like they smoking that piff. Outlaw is a decent pro.
