On Portland GM John Nash stating that Rasheed Wallace is more talented than Kenyon Martin, but Kenyon Martin is more tenacious: "I don't give a **** what John Nash thinks…You see where his thinking got him…You all got anything else?"

Rasheed OT: He got his 16th Tech the other night and is sitting out tonight's game because of it. The league instituted rules this offseason with game suspension penalties for getting excessive Techs. Not coincidentally IMO, Wallace's outbursts have dropped off.
It was always my contention that if the league really wanted to limit the amount of outbursts from the players, they should put a more valued item then mere $$$ and a FT. My suggestion was for it to count as a personal foul as well, thereby limiting the players ability to stay on the court. This solution essecially does the same thing.
Glad to see the league proactively dealing with this situation... I don't mean just Wallace's temper, but outbursts in general.

Agreed...henceforth this new rule will be referred to affectionately as "The Rasheed Wallace" rule or the "Whiny ***** Wallace" rule, or the "Cry Baby Wallace" rule...

whatever... Wallace's outbursts were never that big a deal to me, but I do like that they curtailed that sort of stuff in general.

Agreed but you have to admit they did this in large part because of him...thus he deserves the naming rights.
I like basketball games not trivial crap. The love/hate-cult of personality thing some fans have with their idols is something I just don't relate to.

Probably my favorite all-time Blazer is Bill Walton. A while back I recieved an authentic 1976 Walton Adidas warm up jacket as a gift. Last year a friend saw me wearing it and said he could get it autographed (he sees Bill on occation being a friend of his son Nate). I gave him a CD of a favorite band to pass along instead. I know the big guy is a music fan and why would I want him messing up my cool shirt?
As far as your Wallace feelings, you're asking the wrong guy to relate. For me (to quote a mutually favorite band of Bill's and mine)... "Ain't no time to hate"

you should see if you can find out if the rumor (that I'm just now making up) that Bill is rumored to be part of a group interested in buying the Blazers is true.
Either that or if he would let me interview him like I did MB...

I don't know what they have to say, it makes no difference anyway, whatever it is, I'm against it!
No matter what it is or who commenced it, I'm against it!
Your proposition may be good, but let's have one thing understood, whatever it is, I'm against it! And even when you've changed it or condensed it, I'm against it!
people on this board hate rasheed wallace...i dont get it.
he is and probably will be my favorite player in the league for years to come.
too many people here act like you cant play with some attitude. to be honest, i dont enjoy watching a player who keeps a straight face and just gets it done. i like that player who gets vocal and gets technicals...who talks some s**t...
like it or not, rasheed wallace was one of the best things to ever happen to the blazers.
i know im going to get a comment or two on this but its whatever. i just get sick of everybody blaming everything on rasheed.
