    For me, it's been a year-long meltdown. (After the Nurkic injury, I skipped the last month and playoffs.) Apparently for Gramps, it's long-term too. But for you homers, you'll say, "It was only one game!"

    Gramps uses the word "tired" while I say "bored." Same thing. Nothing. Ever. Changes.

    That would be better than another ass kicking by GS in the first round. I’ll take a chance at a star in this draft over watching the shoulda been Blazer Durant dominate anyone we put on him.

    The contracts the Cavs moved at the deadline are a lot more like the contracts the Blazers have in Aminu, Davis, Vonleh, and Napier. And Crowder's role, deal, and performance aren't all that dissimilar from Harkless'.

    Turner and Leonard notwithstanding, the Blazers had/have some movable contracts, and didn't use any of them, while the Cavs did. That's not an unreasonable observation.

    We'll get a preview of that on Wednesday. Perhaps we should place odds on who Durant will score over the most.

    Stop whining rook.

    He talked about how you post. Completely within forum rules.

    Learn the game, then post.

    fully agree, glad to see this viewpoint becoming more embraced by other posters, I have been on that boat for a while. Frankly this team as constructed and coached is for me very hard to watch, as the season progresses my interest diminishes, this is somply awful basketball to watch, I enjoyed earlier versions more when we had losing seasons.

    Ok, I've figured out what the problem is. It's not the players at all !! It's our LOGO !! It's that weird ying / yang thing with the five lines of two colors meeting in the middle with equal balance and symmetry on each side !! The alien space gods created it who dwell in the clouds above Portland and they laugh with glee as they watch our team struggle to win. But it will never happen !! It's the power of the ying/yang logo !! It's win/lose perfection !!

    Maybe we could switch it to some 1800's fur trader blasting a beaver, or a elk with a black powder rifle.

    Or how about this, A old time pelt covered trailblazer guy, surrounded by Indians, and covered wagon folk, standing on a hilltop, pointing towards a giant NBA championship trophy at the conflux of the Willamette and Colombia rivers !!

    A few things rookie:

    @Strenuus is a respected and respectful poster here.

    When you say somebody's name in here, QUOTE them like I did above.

    Put some RESPECK on his name!

    Yeah you can’t complain, I got called arrogant, smug, stupid, and conceded(I think that was the last one) today, I mean my posting style did:)


    The green font rule is lame, if you can’t pick up on sarcasm that’s your problem.

    It's not a rule at all. It's simply something that some do to help others understand their sarcasm. Personally, I prefer to let my sarcasm speak for itself most of the time.

    That post didn't have anything to do with strenuus, I simply changed my curse words to strenuus because I realized I was overreacting a bit and that is what my last post got corrected to. I was just editing it for him.

    Nah, it's personal with him. I have no respect for people who call you out in post but can't back up what they are saying or are have to lie because they know they are wrong.
