Too late. Feelings hurt. You're still my friend so now I'll have to make up a reason to ban Mediocre Man just so I can feel better.
You're setting yourself up to have a heart attack if they win 35, while I'm setting myself up for an excuse to happily enjoy getting drunk with sadness if they win 25. You should expect in the 30s. My way, you can't lose even while pretending to be sad. Your risky way, you can die.
People make stupid comments here all the time. A wise dog once told me to let it go. Maybe you should do the same?
I answered his alert before I read the thread. So you're admitting that you make stupid comments all the time? Finally! Baby steps baby steps...
Oh ya, I make stupid comments all the time. It's the people that don't realize their comments are stupid that are the real dolts
Well, sly, catching up on things, you answered my Q in another question about you being serious or not. lol. Whether Mags's GF comparisons was the right one or right, the want to compare is valid. I would never go through my life choosing the easy path, just because I am afraid of failure from the harder path. I would never say, you know, the fish might not be biting today, so rather than be disappointed, I'm gonna sit at home and not take the chance in believing something more. Sorry man, but as a Blazer fan, it sounds like a cop out. I honestly believe this is a .500 team next year and if they come close I will be happy. If they don't, then I think we need to look at the coaching staff, baring any glaring, obvious reasons like injuries, because there is young raw talent here. Now if you truly believe the potential of this team is no more than 20 wins, I respect that... But then that would also mean you think NO has done a terrible job in who he has brought in, which I think I have read you think he has done a good job, correct? If you think they have potential to win more, but don't believe it for lack of disappointment, then that's a cop out.
I was having fun with Mags but in looking at the roster I think this team is going to have a lot of trouble scoring. Defense will be better and the overall effort will be strong but wins are going to be a struggle. I don't think NO has done a terrible job. I understand and support the direction he is going on. I like this far better than if he were to have lost LMA while bringing back Wes, Batum and Rolo. That would have been a team that could have made the 7 or 8th playoff spot but could have never gone beyond that.
While we may go into this season with the roster in front of us, there is a very good chance this ain't it. It's a bit premature to be shooting off dire predictions, if ya know what I mean.
