    "I would love to be proven wrong"
    The ultimate cop out.
    Guess what dude, you've already been proven wrong. Just too stubborn or (?) to realize it.

    This is some funny shit. Lol.

    what i don’t get though is okay of a homer fan is here and the team does bad, then homer fan disappears. I get that. Not wanting to run around slidging through all the negativity.
    Call em fair weather fans, fine. But i get it.


    but when a negative nancy or pessimistic fan disappears when the team does well…. Wtf???

    I mean, isnt this what you want as a fan? To win and have fun? Watch good basketball, win or lose( Blazers are more fun to watch than anytime in the last decade)?

    How can some of you just disappear?
    Its like yall get joy out of the negative and cant handle the positives?

    really???

    their fandom has to be in question…

    I'll give this a shot. Hold on a moment, let me get into character...

    :angry: :argument: :smiley-boxing: :mooning: :oldman: :smiley-flaming: :iamsmiling:

    Look--I get that the team is doing well early, and it's nice to see them actually playing defense and surprising the rest of the league. But you and I both know that whatever the chemistry looks like now, they're still at a severe talent deficit against the top teams in the west, and over 82 games, once other teams' scouting departments get some film on this squad, talent is going to win out...it always does. And I'm not going to get myself overly invested in a team that still has major moves to make before it can contend, especially if I know it's going to regress to the mean the same way all the other teams in the Dame/CJ era eventually did. So why should I surround myself with a bunch of polly-anna naivete just so I can watch it all crumble around me into a depressing pool of disappointment because people let themselves get too high early? No, no--I can watch the team by myself, take notes of the things that are sustainable and the things that will need to change, and I'll come back to talk about it with the rest of you when you return from fantasy-land.​

    I bet Coach Spo’s staff at Miami is doing a little extra prep work for this game then he thought he’d have to huh?

    It’s weird. Reminds me of Antawn Jamison….and his name being pronounced ANTWAN. I think his was a misspelled birth certificate that never got fixed,

    Who knows I see EdO Blocked/Ignored me because I said I don't care about his opinion in over a decade and that he loves the Central Bankers who have been ruining our planet for centuries. He will reappear to take a victory lap with our first big loss, just like the kind of person who would support Central Banks after 2008 and up until now.
