...

Go Blazers

 

I lol'd.

 

Don't forget:

-Batum makes his triumphant return, with an added aura of awesome

 

19. Nate McMillan is in the running for coach of the year.

 

Geez...the only normalcy you guys will have this season is when you get taken out by the Lakers in the playoffs

 

I guess that is if you consider that normal operations. Until last year, normal operations was to not make the playoffs.

 

Don't forget the Oden sexting hoopla.


​

 

Absolutely!!! This has been madness.

 

one good thing.. we got rid of fair weather fans. member magnifier? when we were stacked with no injuries dude would post everyday .... we lose a few and some players... good ole maggs is gone. im sure he emerges in october with a bad excuse.

 

Well since 1997 POR has had 7 playoff appearances....the Lakers have taken them out five of those seven times

 

There is no need to question folks fanhood man. Everybody is different with different agenda's. Some people might have stopped following because it was too much to take, after all, how many times can you take being kicked in the nuts before you just don't let it happen anymore?

 

geez how did MIXUM miss this one to start!

 

Does that phone come with a 12" strap on so you can really feel like Greg?

 

at least we know he uses the products he endorses

 

By sheer volume of bad things that happened to good (and talented) people, this year wins.

I wonder though if you couldn't come up with several truly crazier seasons. There are injuries, and then there are sloppy seconds, dog fighting, player card ID, crawl spaces, tinfoil in airports, getting high in hummers, basketball in the nuts, technicals, towels in the face, bubble gum, 4th quarter implosions, Jermaine O'Neal, Ha and the vast wreckage of Shawn Kemp, Bonzi Wells and JR Rider. (Feel free to pile on.)

This season has been a G-rated slapstick of tragedy. Interesting and depressing in its own right. But crazier than the Rob Zombie shit from a few years back? Uh, I don't think so.
