WOW, I bet you that Baron Davis is pretty mad right about now, but I have to tell you that the coaches in the West recognize what a true all star is. In only his 2nd year, Brandon Roy has emerged as who we thought he was when we first saw him in a Blazer uniform. I always knew that he had the type of talent...

It was January 3rd. The Blazers were on the road, and my friends and I were trying to decide on a good spot to watch the Blazers game against the Bulls. We decided to eat downtown Portland, OR at Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW).

Straight from the horses mouth. You really think the Rose Garden would open the doors up to the fans to watch this if he was not going to get picked. They already know, and so do I.
