Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and What have you

What's up everybody....I've been busy over the holidays...my family came out on Christmas Eve and stayed for a week...having them at my house mixed with practice and games made for a busy holiday week. I got my first points in the NBA the other day against Philly, I was happy that I got to play a little bit while my family was still in town. We finally lost last night after winning 13 straight, but the good thing about the NBA is we get a chance to start a new streak tomorrow night in Minnesota. Happy New Year...thanks for reading - Josh

Congrats on the first points and the 13 game streak. You guys definitely proved yourselves to all us NBA fans. Keep it up. I'm sure that a LOT more points will follow throughout your career, lol. And nothing against you Josh, but did you hook up with the NBA Live people? Your better than some established superstars in the game and you are a complete beast. Haha, anyways, congrats again Josh.
And what do you think about Duke this year? They look like they could be dangerous come March to me.

Hey Josh!

Sounds like you had a busy, but fun, week.

So what is the meaning of the title of your blog??

About the D-League Rumors...have you heard anything? We are praying that you don't have to leave!

Did your sister teach you how to upload those photos?? If so, upload them please!!

You played great in the game against Philly!

Did you get anything good for Christmas?

Congratulations on scoring your first NBA points! You were pretty amazing, with the 2 baskets and the steal. Good job. ;) I'm sorry about the loss in Utah tomorrow. Like you said- we'll start a new one tomorrow! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Awesome game on Sunday man, was at the Garden and it was crazy. Hope nobody is hanging their heads in the locker room after that loss, you guys have been playing great. Now another streak will continue, hope you guys destroy Minnesota and beat the Bulls on Thursday.

Good lookin out man, glad you had a good Holiday Season!

It was great seeing you play Sunday. Best wishes for 2008. You and the Blazers have made us proud. I am sure this 13 game streak was just a taste of what is to come.

Happy New Year to you Josh. Congrats on your first set of points the other day. I thought the Rose Garden roof was going to exlode. In any, the lil bit I have watched of you, I have come away impressed. Keep up your hard work and you should be a Portland Trail Blazer for a long time to come. I can't to see more of you in action.

Very impressive game against Philly even though it was four points. Why didn't you take the free throw once you went in though? lol

Good to see you play the other night! I was watching with my friend, who is a big Duke fan, and she was as excited as I was! You had great stats for the amount of time you were on the floor. Made us all proud of you!! Keep it up! GO BLAZERS!!

Having played at Duke you must be used to 13 game winning streaks.

BenCho said January 02, 2008

It was nice to see you get in the game. You made two good shots. Even better was the bench reaction. After we had finally blown that game open and you got in. It made that win even better. I hope you get more playing time. You did well.

John My Boy!

It's Blazermaniac Andy and I was SO GLAD to see you get in the game the other night against philly and shoot 2 PERFECT lookings jumpers! They almost look as good as my shot does! Don't get upset that you shot 100% from the field in a game and haven't seen much playing time since, Sergio had 6 assists in 3 minutes at first and finished with 8 in 11 min last night and I still don't think he will be seeing an improved amount of time. But it's good to have you healthy, if nothing else so I can root for you when my gal comes to games, she went to NC!

Blazermaniac Andy

P.S. Post more, you could become more famous of a poster then Gilbert, and a much better player, And We DID win that game last night, so our new streak starts at ONE. It's ok though even the best teams in the league loose occasionally, heres a cheers to winning tonight in Chicago! And tell Brandon he got hosed in the Player of the Month voting, and Congratulate Nate for me!

Hey josh wut up man , im a season ticket holder and i watch you guys play everynight and i enjoyed watchin you fade away and hit that shot haha anyways man i wanna thank you because i see you all the time cheering on the team and really getting in to it and i appreciate it man not a lot of guys do that so even tho your not playing as much right now your still helping the team out big time and i envy you for that man. I hope to see you in the future owning people to haha ,

catch ya later man haha
Oh yeah 1 question? , In your opinion dont you think Brandon Roy deserves to be in the all star game? he might not be like some higher scorer that goes out and get 40points a night but he really is a true team player and does what he need to when he needs to

Is it true you've been sent down to the NBDL? If so (or even if not so) how do you feel about that? Obviously you'd get more PT and can work on your game, but tell us how you really feel. We understand the positives (as mentioned, PT and gettin' in some work), but will you be a little disappointed and will you work even harder? Of course you will, but we're looking forward to your take. Hopefully it'll be as honest and candid as many of your previous comments regarding life in the NBA, or at least now in the NBDL. Don't consume too much corn unless it's for your vehicle.

Best of luck to you with the Stampede, Josh. (I hope some of your games are on tv, cause while I am happy for you making it to the NBA, I have truly missed watching you play. ) I guess no matter how talented you are, you never stop having to put your time in and prove it.
We'll be rooting for you whether you're in Idaho, Portland or anywhere else. Go kick some butt, do your thing and shut up the haters.

Hey Josh, get some minutes in Idaho, then come back strong in P-Town. Can't wait to see you play when you get back to the Blazers. Rip City!

What up, Josh! I am excited for you to get some playing time in Idaho. I will be keeping tabs on the box scores to see how you do. It may be the minor leagues but it is a big opportunity to show your stuff. We're rooting for you in Portland!

hey, saw u went down to the D-League. it's cool, get more impact playing time. you'll beb ack up in the NBA in a year or so. u got the skills. plus raef costs to much to send him there :/

skoobacious said January 25, 2008

Please tell us that the reports of your disgust regarding the NBDL are not true. Obviously we can understand your disappointment, but you're young and have a long career ahead of you. We're still waiting on your first report since being sent down. Well, 'sent down' isn't exactly proper b/c obviously the team has invested in you and you'll be back in no time. And the NBDL doesn't quite fit in with an MLB minor league analogy (the CBA on the other hand...). Is the reason you haven't responded regarding your NBDL experience due to you being so busy with the transition, or do some of the hotels not offer internet access? Looking forward to a report. Peace.

Josh, whats going on? Where are the new blogs? I haven't seen you with the team? Are you playing the D-League? You have been MIA for too long. Time to post a new blog

Yeah, c'mon dude! You see the support from us blog posters. Let us know what it's like in the NBDL. We don't care that you got sent to the development league. At least you still get to play ball for a living. You'll be back into the NBA in no time. Still, we thought the purpose of this blog was to give those of us who wished we could ball for a living some insight - whether into the life of an NBA player or an NBDL player. Everyone knows you were a Mickey D AA and that you went to Duke. Therefore you have added experience to share. We understand if you are probably disappointed right now, but if you decide to discontinue your blog until you are in a better place just let us know. Of course you aren't obligated to do this, but you have set a precedent by agreeing to blog about your b-ball life through this forum, so maybe you actually do have a few obligations to your fans. Go Idahos!

Hey Josh, I just found out about this site, and i love it. I'm a huge fan of yours. I followed you through HS, and I am a huge Duke fan. I've been to a ton of your games at Duke, but my most memorable was the game at MSG vs St. John's when you reversed an outlet pass in the first few minutes. Man you guys destroyed them. I have a few questions for you. What was it like playing with Greg Paulus? Did you get along? Were you friends off the court? How do the Duke ulumni treat current players, or past players they haven't played with? I would have loved to see you and Greg together four years, and especialy you with Singler. I wish you, and your family the best, and hope to keep in touch. My email is mnole54@yahoo.com. -Mike from NJ
