Is there a curse on this franchise?

Are we cursed? Yes. Is there a solution? Hell no.

1977 forever.

 

We've been one of the winningest franchises in the League for decades. We had two runs of shittiness: 1970-1976 and 2004-2007. That's it. Every other year we've been over or near .500.

You want to talk cursed: talk to a Warriors, Clippers or Grizzlies fan.

 

yeah, but is it better to just be bad forever with low expectations or continuously face disappointment and failure after getting so close, only to spiral into nothing and then rise again?

 

You live in LA right? If that's what you want, I hear there's plenty of room on the Clippers bandwagon; I'm sure they'll find some way to fuck up the decent young nucleus of talent they've got cooking.

 

uhh. no. I want championship. No game 7 collapses. Or future dynasties thwarted by bad knees. its more painful to be a blazers fan than any other franchise in the NBA because the highs and lows are so extreme.

 

How do you look in purple and piss? It sounds like that's more the franchise for you.

 

pretty badly

it just seems every time we get close, something happens and we come crashing down to earth.

never left the bandwagon, just wondering if we're just stuck to this kind of up and down shit.

 

Probably.

 

then we should burn sage at the RG

 

As is, we're a high-40's win team that likely gets bounced in the first round.

Of course, as cliche as it is to say now, a healthy Greg Oden changes things. But planning on that is like planning to win the lotto.

 

Maybe we should just burn the RG instead?

 

Can't burn glass.

 

We should turn the MC into a huge bong.

 

lets do it.

 

Isn't the term for that 'hotboxing'?

 

If we all got inside the MC and shut all the doors and smoked a shit load of weed, we'd be hot boxing it. I've been to a couple concerts there like that, Tool concert comes to mind.

You don't smoke pot?

 

lets go in blowup mode and trade Batum for Eric Piatkowski.

 

Here and there. It's a god send when I have insomnia!

btw, I went to the 'Up In Smoke' concert at the RG back when I was a teen, 2000-ish. Everyone got a contact high. The entire bowl of the arena was hazy.

 

Next Friday. Burnin' Sage at the Rose Garden.
