Sorry haters, but this season went down long before Oden went down.

    You can't point to one singular reason why this season has gone to shit. This is actually a perfect example of a "normal accident", although it has not quite yet come to fruition.

    Not the Blazers. It's hard to watch.

    Good thing I live in LaLa land so I can watch the L*kers steam roll the league while my boy Stu Lantz colors the game purple and gold. Joy-Joy.

    except he has been out because his wife had surgery. They have Hot Rod Hundly doing color...its painful to listen to. He's like a 90 year old in a hospice with his hearing monitor turned off...God bless him but he is old and slow of mind.

    Hater I may be but I believe the team's season went down the shitter when literally every 3rd scoring option the coaching staff trusted went down with injury. The list includes Outlaw, along with Rudy and Oden. Bayless doesn't count since the coaching staff won't pley him enough minutes to allow him to make up for the lack of scoring from Rudy and Outlaw (if that is even possible for him.).

    The season also took a big hit when Batum went down.

    And when KP decided the best possible signing would be a point guard who excells at a style of play exactly the opposite of how Portland plays.

    Frankly, if only Outlaw was out no one would give a shit. A healthy Rudy and Oden could easily make up for Outlaw's lack of scoring.


    Learn some respect and decency,
    then post.

    This thread is great. It's like a cyber version of The Dozens, but with cliques.

    Can't be worse the two geniuses that announce Clippers games.

    I watched the game last night and one of the guys said Kamen was ambidextrous.

    The other guy, without missing a beat, said "And he can use both hands equally well."

    I'm reminded of the scene in "Office Space" where Tom Smikowski tells the Bobs that his job exists because he's a "people person".

    What if Oden would have gotten hurt before Travis? If we would have sucked, would the loss of TO still be the reason?

    Yeah but I don't hate the Clippers so those guys are funny. Lantz kills me. I mute the TV when he starts in. Hundley is respectable in comparison.
