    Homer camp for sure. I'd put you right in the middle of the Illiad.

    Welcome back Mix. This thread made me laugh. The people who rip you...their posts say all I need to now about them. We're all Blazers fans. Can't wait for the season to start!

    thanks guys for the love. its good to be back. nate dogg.... you are def not a blip but maybe a blip of a homer? No im joking. good to see you on here my friend!

    wheels.... your name says it bro.... lol....

    listen, i dont care who a homer is and who isnt really but im not gonna sugar coat shit like so many here do. its the barrett syndrome and its annoying. i mean i think mike is a nice guy and does a good job on tv but he is tooooooo wheels at work every other time. i just am honest and say what i feel the truth is. people all summer talk about greg playing 64 games and im sitting here thinking... if greg played 40.... and made it to april... that would be amazing.

    Gotta say, Mixum--I'm kinda disappointed. I was expecting something a little off the radar from you from your first post, but nothing you said was any different than what many have been saying all summer. Let me recap...draft was boring, rookies are projects, Matthews is redundant, Cho is unproven, Pendergraph has regressed, Oden's rehab progress is disappointing, roster holes still exist. Really, the only semi-controversial point you made was pegging Johnson as a combo-guard, which as Nik pointed out is basically irrelevant anyway. Furthermore, I'm also surprised and slightly dismayed that you included no Rudy take in there.

    Glad to see you back, and I'll attribute the sub-par post to early-season rust. Can you step your game up a little for your next thread, though?

    see i get blasted when i try to be somewhat positive and i get blasted for being negative!

    listen, I said all last year something was wrong with Rudy. We knew he wanted out before the all star break. it was just like the kpee saga... everyone already knew he was getting fired just like everyone knew rudy hated nate/portland/nba. what can i say about him? rudy wanted a trade that never happened? he didnt show up in the playoffs which told you all you needed to know.

    and idk man.... i read lots of sunshine/rainbow posts here all summer. guys were talking about oden playing 70 + games. i still think if nic gets hurt we are literally fucked. we have no backup SF on this roster. matthews is toooo small to hold that down every night. i dont think this team as is gets home court. in fact i just hope for playoffs.

    and listen im gonna have a new post soon of something that drove me nuts all summer. Simply put... this team DID NOT IMPROVE and its shameful on how many trades they missed out on. Not getting Collison was a disgrace.

    No blast--I just don't want you to get complacent after getting 90+ replies on you first thread (well, 70+ if you subtract your own replies to theirs...). Gotta make sure the usual level of MIXUM-ness returns after your extended furlough.

    About that--who actually punctuates acronyms? And honestly, isn't that somewhat paradoxical? "I'm going to complain about the length of a post via an acronym including an unnecessary semi-colon, because not only am I too busy to read someone else's opinion, but I'm also grammatically superior." And if you're going to include the semi-colon, why not the period at the end? And why not make it a full sentence rather than a fragment, something like "Ypwtl;Idri." ("Your post was too long; I didn't read it.")? I mean really--is a little consistency too much to ask?

    I agree with you that Oden has bust written all over him. I don't really care if he plays 80 games anymore. I would be super happy with Oden playing 50-60 regular season games and be healthy for the playoffs. I even think that is probably just a dream. I just don't think it does any good to be worrying about KD that's over and even the biggest Oden fans(Myself included) now knows if we could do it all over again we should have taken KD. I still wouldn't trade Oden unless it got us something really good like CP3 and he had to be included to get the trade. All we can do is hope he plays.

    Denny... Starlin Castro looks like a future stud. I will include that in all my posts.
