    This is a nice story, I think, about a Portland Trailblazers fan and his respect for the Rockets even though they are supposed to be his 'sworn enemy'.

    He tells the story here: http://gunnarspeaks.com/

    This is some of it.

    Yeah, that defeat on Friday was crushing and the LOF's and LOH's are still going at each other and McHale is coming back and Jeremy disrespected the Rockets' fans who gave him so much support and respect throughout the season by hanging with Trailblazers after the loss and Harden plays no defense and yada yada yada so I'm not sure if this fits here but this kid is fighting cancer and the Rockets are quietly helping him out and I think that is a nice story.

    You can find out more about Sam and how to help him and all on that fan's blog: http://gunnarspeaks.com/

    Peace out.

    McHale is smiling because he still has a job.

    It does put things into perspective. For the first time since Game 6 I'm feeling a little better. Hope for the best for young Sam. He's got to be a tough kid. We could all take a little something from that.

    Harden might have a bigger butt than Lowry...

    Wish best to Sam. He seems like a really great kid; with a lot of love around him.

    Also, what wonderful pictures of the team. I have never seen Harden looking so open.

    Taking it way too seriously. And yes, I enjoyed the actual story; I thought it was great.

    After sulking extensively this season, Omer feels a little hypocritical about coming out against cancer.

    Howard was fapping during the picture.

    This puts everything into perspective.

    This is a class act by the players and the organization.

    All my thoughts are with Sam.

    It actually annoys me seeing stories like this. The only reason these players give this kid the time of day is because he is crippled. Think about that.

    There's no way these players stop and take a minute for a "normal" person. And we are suppose to applaud? Applaud what!? What kind of ******* wouldn't gather around this cripple for a minute?

    Oh, and by the way, this is spam.

    The source website gets no traffic and they didn't think it was a wonderful story, they wrote the story! They are looking for do follow link juice.
