OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD -April 2021

Luka choked on his FTs, then Grayson Allen chokes his FTs, then Luka just being silly with the buzzer beater...

 

Yeah, that was a choke job. Not just the missed free throws. That last 2 minutes was idiotic by Memphis

 

Man when Dame falls off in the next couple years if not sooner we have to worry about Luka, Jokic, Zion, all these young up and coming superstars while we will be in deep rebuild

I miss having that young upcoming superstar. I can’t believe we completely wasted his prime

 

Dallas next 5 games at home, they will overtake the Blazers for the 6th spot

 

Good. We need to not make the playoffs all together. There’s no point losing our lottery protected 1st rounder just to get smacked in the 1st round.

 

We have 3 big games vs the Grizz remaining. I think we’ll be battling them for the 8th spot and will be in the play-in tournament.

 

God and for what? What a disaster of a season

 

They’re better on the road. Only 13-12 at home this season.

 

If we’re battling the Grizz for 8th spot, who is 7th? You have Golden State passing us too? San Antonio?

 

Yep, Portland will be in the same position as last year: Dame will kill himself to try and get the 8th seed. Then swept by Utah or Phoenix. So predictable.

 

I just watched the Kings vs Pels game from the other night.....Good Lord Almighty......I can only IMAGINE what their game threads must be like.

 

Big bro we want championships. We don’t accept mediocracy

 

Save that shit for somebody else here FAMS. Nobody is "accepting mediocracy"! Just not expecting perfection. You keeping setting yourself up for a letdown every night , see how that works out.

 

Man bro I just want a great team that wins and gets far. We gotta stop accepting a participation trophy mentality. That’s all big bro!

 

First time you've admitted every single night!

 

So you want a "great team that wins and get's far"..........? Do you honestly believe there is ONE SINGLE regular poster on here that doesn't want the exact SAME thing? Is there?

 

Does this guy have any annual slumps like Dame does? My goodness

 

Big bro believe it or not some ppl are ok with Stotts, keeping the course, fun reg season team that makes the playoffs, and that’s good enough. They exist fam trust me. We want accountability that’s all

 

Who doesn't want accountability? Nobody is content with a "fun regular season team that just makes the playoffs" That's just it. It's how you handle the losing. Wishing that Stotts dies and CJ blows out his knee and shit like that is just ridiculous. People saying the most heated and angry things about people on a sports team is just mind boggling to me. And then to come back and say, "oh the posts in game threads are just heat of the moment"? Nah, we all want to win and go all the way every year, it's just all about expectations and how you handle the results, good or bad.
I've said it before, those people that predict 65 wins every season, OF COURSE they're going to be all pissed off, what did they expect? You want to own a Benz, but you wake up to a Nissan in the driveway, shit's gonna leave you sour.

 

And before somebody calls me a "homer" or "apologist"..... @THE HCP has been down with this team his whole life. My parents having season tickets in the 70s. The whole neighborhood watching the games in our basement during the Pay-Per-View days and us neighborhood kids chasing down the Portland Police for Billy Ray Bates and Kermit Washington trading cards in the 80s.... to ride that roller coaster from 1990 and on........ You can't even start to understand somebody's love, allegiance or passion for a team by if they don't get mad and scream EVERY FUCKING GAME THREAD! Just because I don't wish harm on our players, doesn't mean I don't care. #RipCityFoLife
