    Most O-Live posters make fun of the people who post over here.

    They think you guys are pretty lame and humorless.

    Either way, we're good. My point is this, and I dare say it - I think we're about to peak, or are peaking right now. I don't want to fuck with that.

    That's understandable. I didn't think my dad or his friends were "humorous" when I was 12.

    I don't know how I should feel about a bunch of people I will never meet not liking me for an arbitrary reason.


    Oh yeah I do. I feel a great deal of Who gives a shit.

    Yep, why mess with a good thing right now. I like how we're able to bring in Outlaw, then Rudy, then big G.O. off the bench. Just a wave of players off the bench. And seeing G.O. walk to the sidelines to check in seems to give the RG a boost of energy at the end of the first quarter.

    As much as I would love to see Oden starting, I think it's best to leave it as is.

    Ha!

    I checked out OLive before I began posting on BBF. Back then, the forum had more L*ker fans than Blazer fans. Unless things have drastically changed, I'm not surprised they consider actual Blazer fans to be "lame." The inhabitants of that cesspool deserve each other.

    Back on topic.

    Oden may have more talent than Joel, but over the course of the season, Joel has made the larger contribution to the team's success. As the saying goes "dance with who brought you!"

    I haven't checked the forums over there in years. Once I found BBB.net, I was forever changed.

    Greg starting is essential for playoff success IMO. Otherwise we'll start the game off playing 4-5 on offense.

    This is almost like saying should we start Frye over Aldridge.

    at this point i'd say keep starting joel and bringing oden off the bench. it's not like the blazers ever consistently did a good job of getting oden involved early when he was starting. coming off the bench probably gets oden more touches in his first few minutes of the game which gets him more involved in the game.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If Frye were a better player than Aldridge, as Oden is better than Przybilla, then it would be very much like that.

    I guess the fact that Fyre is much, much, much worse than Aldridge, while Oden is as good or better than Przybilla, is why it's only "almost" the same.

    Translation = You got RUN over on O-Live and crawled over here with your tail between your legs.

    I get it now.

    Strange translation . . . you must speak OLive.

    I've posted with OMG for years, and knowing his language, you completely screwed up that translation. No worries, not your fault, you learned translation from OLive.
