    Cliche's in generally usually piss me off.

    You're paid millions to bring your A-game every game, asshole!

    You can't consistently win by trying to outscore your opponents.

    Not really overused (post-Jordan), but my favorite non-Sheed quote:

    "Players don't win championships... organizations do."

    We wuz robbed.

    That was a brilliant move.

    It is what it is. That is very true.

    We drafted for need, not talent.

    We passed him up because we already had a good player at his position.

    It's okay because every other GM made the same mistake.

    That's his signature move. That's not a foul. Doesn't the NBA want stars?

    Stern has been around 25 years, so we know he's been great.

    Oden looks 40 years old. Ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!

    This team's potential is so great, I can't wait for a couple of years from now!!!!! We don't need to be looking for trades. Drool as you contemplate our golden future!!!!
    [or a similar wording]

    Feel free to leave the board, you illiterate troll.

    Look at the bright side.

    patella

    That would take us back to the bad old days with the knuckleheads.

    Have you been at the Koolaid jar again? Are you off your meds?

    It's only one game. Small sample size. It's early in the season.

    Unfortunately, I'm feeling the Blazers have now been relegated to the receiving end of that particular cliche'.
