    Yes because we can't trade him if he's injured.

    Interesting stat
    Dame 4-14 from three
    Covington, Hood, and Trent 15-23 from three

    Trent shooting it well is not a huge surprise but Hood and Covington doing so were encouraging. Especially one night after Little did. The more the merrier.

    What is it with you guys?

    did I go into the thread last night and ask where you were?

    you guys are just perpetually butt hurt about other fans, even after a win.

    We beat a shit team. Congrats. After losing by 30 to a playoff team.

    This wasn't even meant to be serious or directed at you. I thought making jokes like this would be acceptable, I'm still learning how to deal with the grief of having a bad team. I'm trying to be more negative and angry, but it takes a lot of energy.

    I promise you, I'm not butt-hurt about anyone here. Can't speak for HCP though!

    It shocks me myself. They love that middle of the road make the playoffs and get smacked in the 1st round type of team. Wasting Dames prime is not a concern to them at all.

    I've never put you in the small group of people who take pleasure in the Blazers losing.

    No, no one loves that. They love the team. But they also realize that no matter how much they do it, bitching and whining makes no difference in how the players play or the team is run. Constantly looking for failure in order to support what you think the team should do only takes away from enjoyment of the players we do have and the games they do win.

    You've set yourself up to be in this weird place where you want the team to lose so you can claim that you're right.

    There are fans who will recommend players to draft BEFORE the draft happens, then there are people who wait for years after the draft and claim they knew all along that player X was better than the player we drafted.

    And honestly, do you really care about Dame's prime or is he an hindrance in your desperate need to be the leader of the Blazers suck brigade?

    This a hundred times over. Some people can't argue an issue without getting personal about the messenger instead of the message. Over the years, harassment drove a few posters tired of Olshey/Stotts off the board.

    It’s not even about the team at this point. It’s about competing ideologies and/or viewpoints about sports.

    it’s no different than politics. People provoking a reaction and trolling the other side.

    It’s the homers against the haters, but in reality it’s the homers against anyone who has what they view to be a negative opinion on the team and lumping them in with the much smaller hater group.

    There is no "hater group." That would happen only if another team's fan comes on and disses everything. Such a person lasts only a couple of posts.

    Wonder how good idea it is to play Lillard with injury 40mins against worst team in the league. Why? Why the fuck we couldn't make it a battle for young guns and let Lillard rest and be proud of them? If this wasn't the perfect opportunity for them, what will be? The f is wrong with coaching stuff? Do they just want the numbers in table, so they can cover their asses?

    I mean, if Jody doesn't give a monkey and they just tell her "we got another win in this difficult situation" then fair play and good night.
