Nope. They should win by more, Nate sucks, Roy is selfish, Miller can't shoot, Oden is fragile, Aldridge is soft, Nic is being misused, and Camby is AWESOME! Oh, and Outlaw still cost the team more points, whether he is on the team or not.
Most everybody who is a Blazer fans expectations over the last few years have been essentially dashed, and a lot of fans haven't got over it yet, because it may not be over. It's still going on. Right now the whole fan base is in a hangover because what has happened to the team over the last couple of years. It's no wonder everyones attitude is bad. Everybody is fucking pissed off it didn't turn out better than it did. That is reality. Because the team is still being held up to those expectations, which were very high, the fans desire a better performance from the players. Perhaps those expectations are unreasonable. But what kind of expectations should you have if your desire is for your favorite team, to win the NBA finals?
I think there is a large group of people that believe his team isn't ready to seriously compete. When things don't change, and Oden can't seem to get on the floor, people are going to be negative.
I must say that when I come here, the thought that always crosses my mind lately is "I wonder what everyone is whining about today?" Bummer, that.
High expectations are fine. Constantly escalating expectations after every good point, so that one always has a reason to bitch, is silly.
I stand in awe of you. I really do. I have no idea how you are able to put such a positive spin on Oden's latest injury. To me, he is a walking, talking injury machine that is perpetually breaking down. I see no other way to put it.
Mixum comes back and already we have three people warned for personal attacks. It's been months since I've seen anyone warned.
Basically theres bullshit because the homers are as usual..... HCP-ING it. Wait what does that mean you ask? HCP-ING adjective 1. homersim at its highest level regardless how gloomy the outcome is. typically a term used for the Portland Trail Blazer fan base on message boards. examples "damn man, Greg Oden suffered another season ending injury..... but don't worry we got pendergraph and next year we will be unstoppable and get to the finals." "whatever your just HCP-ING it, Odens a bust"
I don't think having a positive outlook makes someone a homer. However, *edited*. (Not directed toward anyone in particular.)
I'm not a fan of HCP's random inane postings myself, but you've once again gone into the realm of hyperbole and fallacy which I find even less appealing to read in entertainment related discussions.
