    Don't think I can say it any better, than what just got said. Hanging at the bar with buddies, or in the locker room would be a better setting for it. Just my thinking on this place, but to me it's no different from meeting someone on the street. People on here get together for games and stuff. I'm not gonna treat anyone here differently, over someone I just met in a store. That's not a joke I'd whip out to tell someone I Just met. Male or female.... Just my thoughts though....


    EDIT: and I agree.... Back on topic....

    :cheers:

    We definitely appreciate you keeping your "whipping out" to a minimum around here.

    I wondered the same as I was typing it, especially considering the context. I see a bit of a difference, but I could understand if some didn't, and wouldn't be upset if it were moderated.

    This, I think, is the primary difference between the two of us.

    I think the primary difference is that I don't think much should be moderated. If you don't like it, ignore someone. I also wouldn't care if everything was moderated equally, but it can't be because sly, who is great at what he does, can't see everything.

    No difference there--I agree with everything you just posted.

    Of course I'm also flagging your post as inappropriate, just for the hell of it. I'm offended by your implication that I think things should be moderated. How dare you.

    To upset the Warriors we would have to control the tempo of the game. We'd have to play defense and slow them down a bit. If we play at their fast as hell tempo we'd would have a hard time keeping up. I think it would be a good series, and we'd wouldn't make it easy for them. Upsetting them is possible, look at Memphis upsetting the Spurs back in the day....If you believe, you put the work in, and leave it on the court anything is possible.

    You have a point on that one. I have to agree with @TBpup that the forum isn't exactly family friendly. Kinda suprising to me, cosidering it is the Blazers "official" forum. Anyways, what were you saying @Chris Craig ? Lol

    I hate that it's become the official fan forum.

    OK, I did, as well as at the '94 Nuggets and '98 Knicks--all 8 seeds to win a series. All top 10 in the league in defensive rating, and 2 of the 3 bottom 10 in the league in pace.

    I don't know if we really have the scheme necessary to borrow from those playbooks.

    Ah... No i'ts not. There is no inflection in the written word. There is no visual perception. Some don't need to be told that.

    Before the Durant injury the Warriors were looking like one of the all time best teams. They were destroying teams.
    Durant is expected back by April 1. A Blazer victory would be the biggest upset in the first round....ever. I can't see it happening.

    Better than where we came from. That old place, even if you left a couple letters out of a cuss word (S#*t) for example, you'd get in trouble. It's all about that free speech life FAMS!

    Bro you honestly believe this? You honestly think we could beat GS even without KD? I'm just baffled by this. A fantastic example of team loyalty blinding ones common sense. #64Wins

    Before we got Nurkic, we talking about riding the tank. Now there is a discussion about upsetting the Warriors.... Wow. That's why I love this forum!
