    You should be getting paid for these.

    But please don't go on strike, Comrade. The Collective needs you.

    I would cheer for Lakers against them. That's how much.

    Thanks. I imagine it's pretty unbearable in Houston.

    I'd cheer for the Rockets and Lakers to have their arenas blown up and their franchises stricken from the earth.

    I'm referring to the Blazer pregame.

    I have not got to watch at all the last couple games but i did catch this Outsiders thing that pretty much sucked. Not quite sure what is happening to the pregame and post game broadcasts but i just turn em off now and come on here.

    Blazers Outsiders...

    The guys themselves I don't really mind but something is just seriously off about it. The way they sit their staring at their computers and don't seem to always pay attention to what the other two are saying, they seem like they are always tired and don't really want to be there, and they try to be funny but it's just not. I can't believe I am about to say this but I miss Talking Ball. I almost think the guys from Outsiders would be better in that setting instead of sitting around a living room.

    Ah, okay. I've never seen Outsiders or Talking Ball, so I'll take your word for it.

    The Outsiders is horrible. It's basically three guys who think they are smarter an funnier than they actually are shouting at each other. I find it unwatchable.

    Talkin Ball was more professional, but the only one I really miss is Orlando Williams. I liked the insights he provided.

    They each just named their "Papa John's Ingredient" to a Blazers victory.

    Dan Marang (former poster here) said to make CP3 a scorer. One of the other guys mentioned the bench shooting 3's. The third guy said to just win (by scoring more than the other team). It's like really, what is the point of even having this show if that is one of their answers?

    He couldnt come up with an answer like transition defense? During the last two games, weve been burned by transition 3s for a stretch (during Indianas 2nd quarter comeback, and when the Heat pulled away in the 4th). The Rockets love transition 3s.

    Or how about "defend the Paul/Capela pick n roll well"?

    You could take any three yahoos from the peanut gallery and the results wouldn't be much. The Blazers are obviously just trying a new format. My guess is that this is just a test program. If it doesn't work they will just go back to The Fifth Quarter or whatever.

    This is easily the most annoying team in the league. Harden isn’t even playing and I’m already worked up because of Paul.

    He is definitely one of the bigger assholes in the league.
