    LOl, oh believe me I know. I had heard in the past that Love isn't enough for a marriage. Turns out we can eliminate amazing sex as being enough to hold together a marriage as well. My fiance is absolutely incredible in every way, but mostly she's just really fucking good to me. Thanks for the congrats! :smiley-beerchug:

    I don't know that this is necessarily the right thread for this, but I don't know that we have a place for random NBA-adjacent content, so here you go...

    For me it was the 2nd , third and fourth; the first was actually pretty good; I was just too young to know it.

    ^ WOW! Side note, has nothing to do with anything, but Curran is a very good friend of mine. We met while we worked for HBO Boxing! Amazing guy. If anybody is a fan of the Sweet Science, you should follow him.

    Currently the apartment in the Moda
    18 has them finishing out of the playoffs and in the Lotto. 9th in the West.
    That might be right? I'm willing to bet it's not. Injuries of course could derail the season but if Chauncey is that bad (He may very well be) it's going to be a tough year.
    I have always been one to give any coach more than a year to figure things out. I wonder if Dame feels the same?

    Rankings are just an opinion. They rarely stay the same through a given year. If they don't believe the Blazers will be good, fine. Blazers have had their best years being under the radar.

    I wish he was asking people to get vaccinated in this tweet. Prayers aren't going to get it done. IMO.

    in the West, I think there are pretty clearly 4 teams better: Jazz-Suns-Nuggets-Clippers. And if Klay Thompson returns to form, Warriors will be better. Also, if the Lakers stay relatively healthy, they should be better too

    but Dallas? They weren't better last season and their only notable addition that I recall is Reggie Bullock; and they lost Josh Richardson

    I've lost track of all the changes Memphis has made, but I really can't imagine they will be so much better they'll gain 5 games on Portland

    I don't think it matters much where Portland ranks compared to EC teams, but I think the Knicks are rated too high

    I am seriously amazed how changing Stotts for a coach haven't hit the radar.
    Lack of effort and lack of ball movement was main problem of this team under Stotts. I say, trading Stotts for Billups is like adding an all star to the team.
    I believe Blazers will be much better this season.
