    that got me thinking..how would other teams handle the same # of losses to their team? And not like the bottom 4, I mean at least 2 starters, and 2 prominent bench players (but not their top two players).

    Imagine the Lakers were without Bynum, Odom, Artest and Walton? I know they're not the equals to our missing (it's impossible to make exact comparisons).

    How would the Spurs be if they lost 4 rotation players?

    Jalen Rose was talking about this last night. He talked about how it was fairly important that the two guys who have carried the Blazers the last couple of years are still in the lineup. That will keep them in a lot of games. But it will still be tough. I believe his exact words were "These two guy are the two that butter your bread."

    another way to look at the significance of Portland's injury woes is that Batum Rudy Greg and Travis combined to play 7,005 of the available 19,680 regular season minutes last year or 36%

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    And I'd say Batum and Oden were due to play even more minutes this year, had they not been injured. I think Portland lost a good 40-45% of minutes to rotation players.

    What's homerism about recognizing injury woes?

    Calling OKC shitty, is being a homer. Why doesn't he just worry about the Blazers...

    How is that being a homer? I think NJ is shitty. Does that make me a homer? Now we can only have opinions about one team, and to express opinions of any other team makes you a homer?

    I think you missed the point of my thread then. I saw your comment, "current blazers", and it got me thinking about how other teams would handle the same # of injuries.

    It has nothing to do with Oklahoma City or making fun of them. I just quoted your comment because it's what drew me to the new thread.

    Just so I make sure I'm hearing this right, because I'm quoting a comment you made (by someone else), and didn't delete it in the new thread, all the sudden I'm being a homer?

    IF anything, it's just me copying and pasting and being lazy about it. Get off your high horse.

    The first step to dealing with Homerism is admitting your a homer.

    Hi my name is hasoos, I am a homer!:devilwink:

    So your opinion is that if someone judges another team as being inferior to us, that automatically makes them a homer?

    Do you think OKC is shitty? If you do, and you're making a pro-blazer comment in the same post, i think you're a homer

    my opinion

    Clearly not inferior? So you see it fit to call others names based on your opinion of their opinion? Awesome.
