    Did you not read the bold section of my post?

    Saying we owned them was not accurate, but I didn't really think it would be a point of contention. I was exaggerating because I'M a homer. I was exaggerating because the thread creator pretty much exaggerated just as much, but in the opposite direct.
    Yet everyone focuses on one word. LOL.

    The point was this thread was created prior to injuries and yet we still beat them. Waiting for Draco to admit he was wrong is all....Considering how a matter of fact he is about who is and isn't delusional. ;)

    Then don't use the word. You knew people would have an issue with it, and you act surprised.

    Btw, Draco already ate his crow. Did you miss that?

    In my eyes, he admitted it. We can move on.

    Sure, I can, because calling this thread a knee-jerk reaction is a stretch. It was a silly opinion, and premature, but it's not like he created this thread immediately after the game. And I think it's wrong to come back to this thread and jump on Draco when it's very possible we could be down 3-1 if Paul doesn't go down.

    You and KOR jumped on me for saying that the game wasn't over, but I was merely correcting Orion for thinking that the game was already won before Paul went down. I'm not sure how you can defend jumping on me for that post.

    And I'm not really sure how you can call what I posted "jumping on you", but you go ahead and keep being defensive if it makes you happy. :cheers:

    Orion says the game was over before Paul went down. He said we had owned them.

    I said, no, the game was far from over at that point.

    You essentially step in and support Orion's opinion that the game was over. You certainly weren't on my side, which is funny because it's not like I said the Clips were going to win. It's not like I said we weren't going to win. I said the game wasn't over. That's it. I guess if you want to defend the idea that the game was over at that point, you go right ahead. Whatever makes YOU happy :devilwink:

    At the end of the day, we won.

    At the end of the day, the series is tied.

    At the end of the day, both teams played hard. ;)

    Hilarious that you claim I supported OB's position that the game was over, considering the first words in my post were echoing the last words in your post: "It was by no means won..." I was actually providing a centrist perspective inbetween yours and OB's. That's...kind of what I do. Basically, the series wasn't over when the Blazers lost game 1, and game 4 wasn't over when the Blazers led by 4 at halftime. It wasn't over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, and it's not over now!

    I'm guessing Draco put Orion on ignore and Orion can not see his posts now.

    Draco posted a plate of crow and ate it hopefully with a healthy serving of leafy greens. :devilwink:

    Actually I didnt think it would have this reaction. I thought the focus was on the thread itself. I was playing devils advocate. Im sorry I didnt use green font, but I take nothing away. I already explained myself and I would us it again if I deem/ feel like it. But I will use green font for those that are so touchy as to focus on one single word and not the basis of the post in context to the thread.

    Nah, he made himself fair game by calling me delusional about one of my ideas. So When you poke like that you should be expected to get poked back when you do similar things. Sorry you think its wrong, but what comes around goes around. :)

    Fair enough on point one. On point two, he has me on ignore, so I get my own parade. :)

    You don't know that he does. You can assume, but you don't know.

    Your right. Im not sure how ignore works, but I see this post now. I was assuming he had me on ignore because I dont see anymore of his posts, but maybe he isnt posting anymore in here since the crow.

    All good. He still ignores me when I direct actual questions or rebuttals towards him, so I have no clue. But until he acknowledges, I will assume and act as though he does. So I still get my own parade. :)

    You don't know that he doesn't know. Well, I don't know. How can I know if you know whether or not he knows? You know?
