    And what happened? Luka was exposed on a national stage.

    Sounds like he's a monster defensively. I like him.

    Either does purgatory. Which is where we are at.

    Our team sucks. Not good enough for the playoffs, and we probably wont be for at least half a decade. Accept it. I have.

    I used to be a huge fan too, but the NBA has gone to shit. It's become an exclusive members club where only a few teams are allowed to succeed and win championships. And, it's fucking obvious.

    Still, a Blazers fan of course. But, it just gets harder knowing they will never be allowed to win anything.

    We will always be in some purgatory or the other.

    Watch the Mavs trade the #1 pick to the Lakers for Lebron.

    There is luck. Curry getting injured. Shit beyond anyone's control. Like who wins lottery.

    Chicago is a much bigger media market than Dallas, if it was fixed Bulls get pick.
