DD is the best thing he can come up with for watching the Blazers????

Now, I readily admit that I am a bit biased against DD, because I like the back-up center better, but is Davis' toughness and team-first mentality really that much more obvious than those same qualities in many of his teammates?

Even if Sabonis weren't playing, I could think of a lot of other things that would make me want to watch the Blazers.

I sometimes wonder if the Blazers management knows that DD is less popular than Sabonis and so they encourage writers to talk more about Davis. I don't know. I am just wondering....

Is Meehan watching the same team we are?

Dale Davis is the one who went on a little vacation 2 years ago during the season.

Dale Davis seems to put forth 75% effort half the time, and 40% the other half.

I am with_Meehan on this one. He doesn't say DD is the only reason to watch the Blazers he says he is one reason. And I agree with what he says. I don't think the 75/40 theory is accurate. Davis is on a very even emotional keel. The fact that he practices Yoga tells me quite a bit about him. He puts out incredible effort when it is time for him to. He doesn't make overly emotional faces but he is in there battling every night and I definitely find some inspiration watching him.

Meehan is a generally positive blue collar writer and I have liked a lot of his columns enough to have emailed him on a few occassions. I think he appreciates DDs positive blue collar style also.
