    I still think we'll move past the first round but ill be honest, I spent the money I was saving for the finals on a bed so I can cry myself to sleep during round 2.

    I just want to get in to post season at this point. After 31-9 start, missing out would be disastrous. Especially considering we have no draft picks, and top heavy roster/no trade bait. Only hope to get better is FA. It's already a tough sell getting FA to come to PDX, but who's going to consider coming here if we nose dive and miss the playoffs? If we get in and lose in 1st to a contender, that's not disastrous. Just get in.

    Here we go with the "this tiny sample size of games determines the remainder of the season" posts. Sorry, Kingspeed -- I know you're a huge fan who bleeds red and black, and I give you full props for that. But please know that this "season's over" mentality is simply wrong (statistically, logically, and historically), and I think it's causing you undue stress.

    Never said in this thread, or ever on the board. New posters always start out the smartest ones, then devolve into what I have become.

    Looks like this will be easy. King sounds too worried.

    And we almost did. Notice those were when we were down 30.

    That wasn't on Aldridge. Lillard stopped moving to the basket.

    I'm reading again.

    No, that wasn't when we were down 30, because you posted this later.

    I'm up to Post 160.

    Well I'm still at Post #160. I just walked to the liquor store. It closed at 8 pm Saturday night! So I'm standing in the dark parking lot reading the hours sign on the door, hood up in the rain, when a police car stops. He eyes me for 5 seconds, breaks out laughing, and zooms off.

    Fucker!! I could up to no good, really!

    I'm pretty sure most of those were end of 1st and 2nd quarter comments, when we kept losing more ground. And I know for a fact I said once that we were still going to win even down 30... I think KS even made a comment towards it about how many teams have come back from 30 down.

    Meh, we still lost. Was a fun game though. Tomorrows, yeah, I have a feeling we're gonna get run out of the building. Hope I'm wrong, and I got it on DVR to hopefully we-watch a win... but I do not have a good feeling about that game.

    The last time you said this about an upcoming game, the Blazers beat OKC at OKC. Do you and KingSpeed share an account?

    haha. Hey, if I'm proven wrong, then I own up to it. I had this pegged as a loss already, anyway.

    Besides, you know I'm not KS, I said we'd still win after being down 30... he said season over after one of the times we were down 1. We still lost, but you can't say I swing that swiftly. lol.

    Strenuus is wrong; those posts were before we hit 30. But I gotta defend him when Papa paints him as a pessimist. He was the holdout for optimism in the first 160 posts that I've read, criticizing pessimists. Papa is the kind of optimist who has to find someone to tear down, so he picks his ally.

    haha.

    Nah, I know when we were down 30 I said it. I'd have to timestamp it to the game, but I know I said it. lol. Doesn't matter though. Still sucked.

    I'm not sure what we're arguing about, but I intend to win. If you're saying your posts I quoted were after you posted that we we were down 30, you're wrong.

    If you're saying anything else, you're wrong, too.

    Ahh. I showed that guy.

    All of you learn a lesson from this. Last time ol' jlprk lost an argument was 1959, and that's under dispute.
