    I don't know if I'm up to the excitement of the rest of the off-season. It's hard to keep up with the whirlwind changes the Blazers have made to the roster.

    When the Blazer’s last game is over, I always consider that the end of the season, and the first preseason game is the start......so we are WAY past the half way thru FAMS!

    Actually, me too. Last Blazer game over? Season is over.

    Question though. If the lakers make it further in the playoffs, would you still consider the season over after the last Blazer game?

    Do you count Game 1 or Game 4 as the last game being over? Because we really threw in the towel in a hurry.

    And our Summer League championship is a more important start to the season than preseason!

    If I was Daryl Morey, I would have worn a hoodie to the Melo signing. Maybe this one:

    Y'all just hatin' 'cause I'm taking a 90% pay cut and still making more this year than you will in your entire lives. You'll see how I do in Houston, playing alongside a real point guard.

    Why is your occupation listed as Coach Killer then? You talk a better game than you play, just like the real Carmelo.

    Are you really so clueless to think that Carmelo Anthony took a paycut? He didn't take a 90% paycut, he didn't take one at all.

    There is a chance that Carmelo thrives in the up and down game that Houston plays. He did thrive on Team USA which played a similar game. Of course, there is also a chance he's washed up. It'll be interesting to see.

    You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I got paid by Atlanta to walk away, but that doesn't count. Talking about the contract I'm actually going to be playing under.

    Man, it's just so tough to keep track of all these millions...

    Thanks for confirming how much of a douche you are. :)

    We always assumed, but now we know. Thanks for that.

    Even with all of those millions, he can't keep a woman happy. Honestly, makes the rest of us look pretty good. We do it even without the millions :)

    Because Team Killer is a resume killer and Ball Movement Killer is too long to fit on the avatar.
