please







thanks

I listened to much of the show, but not all. Not that much stayed in my memory. Others please fill in as you like.

Guests: Mo Cheeks, Ruben Patterson, Victor Khryapa

1. Relax everyone, Joel Przybilla has no option and is signed through next year.

2. Mo Cheeks is happy with the current starters so long as the team keeps winning. He spoke very reasonably about his job being to get the most out of the team; individual stats are different from team play. He is happy with the current 3 guard rotation of Damon, Nick, and Sebastian. It looks like DA will need to try to play his way back into the line-up (he was indicating line-up even, no mention of starting at all).

3. Ruben had a nice interview. The crew said he should be proud of what he has done this year. Ruben didn't complain about not starting and did not trash anyone. He complimented teammates.

4. Had dinner, missed 30 - 4o minutes
Nothing special. The baked potato was
good.

5. Victor Khryapa seemed to handle his 5 -10 minute interview fairly well. You could understand the point of what he was trying to say, even though sometimes the words were not quite right. Also, the announcers didn't hold back much. They asked him fairly long questions, and he seemed to understand everything. There was no spoon feeding like they did with Sabas.

Victor said that he must be ready to go into a game anytime the coach asks him to. He seemed pretty team oriented and not unhappy with his situation. He had praise for both the strength coach (B Medina) and the trainer (J Jensen) in helping him to recover quickly from his injury. He said that on his Russian team that the coach has more power than a coach here. He understands that politics can play a role in playing time. He also seemed to have some pent up feeling about not really getting much coaching help in Russia -- possibly this implies he likes the coaching help he is getting here. He talks regularly with Monya, but he didn't really have anything to add. However, he did seem to imply that Monya would be glad to come over at the end of the basketball season in Europe, if he is allowed to. Monia wanted to come over last summer.


6. usual fill in chat. Announcers hopeful that Portland will make a string of victories. They pointed out that Minnesota really seems to need a trade. However, they didn't specifically suggest any Blazer involvement. Twolves are unhappy with Spree and Cassell.

Anyone feel free to add.
