TRAIL BLAZERS WAIVE UDOKA AND COLLINS PORTLAND, Ore. - The...

Oh yeah, Shav. Shoot those free throws. Your free throw game is looking tyte, bro. You know it too. I see you, pursing your lips trying to act all nonchalant when it's pretty obvious that this is your thing . Free throws, man. Child's play. The haircut, the scraggly armpit hair, the dusting of actual arm hair that makes you look like your glowing? Super fresh. Super. Fresh. You look like a regular...

Shavlik Randolph is among those trying to make the Miami roster. View full size photo uploaded October 1, 2009 I thought I'd continue the series that JDS started by taking a team-by-team look at players who have been invited to training camp (since camp has started now, all of the invites are official). These are guys who normally would show up in Ridiculous Transactions - D-Leaguers, players who have...

The Hedo Turkoglu thing has such momentum right now that I'm not even going to try to fight it. We said what we had to say on the subject a couple days ago . I'll let the sidebar posts and the approximately one billion media references speak for themselves. Enjoy the whirlwind! However I did want to get in a couple simple posts. The Rasheed Wallace one is right below this. This one covers a question...

Man, so much to cover, so little time. Let's hop right in. Roster Spots The team carried 15 players on its roster last year and it's natural to assume that they will do the same again next year. But at the bottom of yesterday's Full Court Press there was a line from Marc Spears about teams looking to trim the roster numbers down for economic reasons. Discussion in the gym today suggested that the team...

Sorry to go all first-season Gilligan's Island on you, but it seemed an appropriate way to introduce the review thread for Shavlik Randolph, Michael Ruffin, Martell Webster, and heck, even Ike Diogu if you're so inclined. None of these guys played enough to make their stats meaningful in any greater sense (I highly suspect per-48 stats for guys who played 4 minutes) so I'm not putting up tables. If...

So says a Blazers staffer travelling with the team, on his twitter. UPDATE: More from the team via text... "Trail Blazers place C Greg Oden on the Active List and Shavlik Randolph on the Inactive List for tonight's game at Indiana." Wow. Stud Ruffin.

Most pregame sessions, you can spot Shavlik Randolph running up and down the Rose Garden stairs like he's Rocky. Occasionally you'll see him getting some shots up or chatting with a fellow Dukie (Shelden Williams, for example) if one happens to be in town for the night's contest. What you generally don't see is Shavlik going up to the game's National Anthem singer, eyes wide, and engaging in a 10 plus...
