    Ok just pointing it out. Blazers defense can really give the pistons championship team a run for their money.

    It's hard to defend when your starting center fouls out and your backup has five fouls.

    Yeah, because that's obviously what fans are saying.

    These threads are great! Makes "spreading the rep around" really easy. ;)

    Real quick. How the hell does Carlito have 2 rep power and I have 1?

    My life sucks.

    I'm shocked at this thread. From the title, I thought carlito was changing his name to Dumbo.

    Sure, points in the paint are the Blazers weak spot, but:
    - ignoring bigs in foul trouble is a recipe for a bad argument. Context matters. ;)

    No, you're thinking of the question "Anyone wanna talk about the Dunkin' Donuts in the room?"

    I guess it could be argued that our bigs getting in foul trouble has something to do with poor perimeter defense, but I also think we were getting shafted by the refs.

    Elephant in the room for you: nothing you post is new, original, or creative, it's common sense, it's lacking in the sense of earning rep. Not hating, just being honest since you asked.

    As our resident Mexi-nugget says (but doesn't understand or abide by)..... Quality over quantity, FAMS.

    IIRC, rep power doesn't have anything to do with being repped, it's about how long you've had your account.

    Mmmk. This coming from someone who edited their post and said they were leaving, then went back on their word.

    I'll take this with a grain of salt.

    Interesting. If this is true, I did not know this. I actually never knew how the rep power worked. lol.

    Ouch. You got me there. You owned me.

    Since you joined, you have the highest post per day rate. You've got no life? You missed the quality over quantity, FAMS.

    You asked a question, I answered it. Truth hurts sometimes.

    This is how the rep power does work.

    I actually didn't know I had the highest per day.

    And no, full time student.

    You also have to take into account that "per day" means from the time I joined to today, not over the life of the forum. I actually think there's people that post MORE than me, but have been here longer, so it skews.

    Sorry to get defensive. But I believe that lately I have been posting more thoughtful. I do agree that in the beginning I was kinda being a dickwad, but that's not indicative of who I really am.
