No more hedging my bets, I'm all in! Magnifier is a genius!

This team is damn awesome, that's it. No SOS, no sample size, no nothing, this team is the straight dope and we are all in for ride of the ages! I believe! They do it at home, on the road, against crap teams and against great teams, with rest or back to backs, no matter what's thrown at this team, they WIN!

 

I would like to thank the bus driver for making room for the bandwagon!

 

FTFY

 

I believe so much that I hope we face the suns in the playoffs, this team will figure out how to annihilate them.

 

Yeah, this win is for all the unbelievers out there. I bet there's a lot fewer of them now.

 

It's a very different situation, but Philly beat the Heat at the beginning of the season. 1 win means nothing. if you believe the team was good before last night, you still believe that...obviously. If you think the team will come back down and finish around .500 at seasons end you probably still think that.

 

As the season has continued along, those that think the team will finish around .500 are having to predict worse and worse results for the fewer and fewer remaining games. At what point do their predictions of collapse face an overall floor of performance, where they will be able to admit the team will finish maybe 10 games above .500?

 

I'm not sure? I know for me, I said after the all star break. Mine however is based more on the potential for injury than talent. Our bigs are thin, and Lopez has proven to be a bit injury prone throughout his career.

 

The blazers should absolutely be tanking, why there's probably a 1% chance to get a top pick!

Them are some good odds, you'd be a fool not to umm trade lillard and LMA or whatever

 

As yu applaud another poster for "calling me out" about making threads about myself, you mock me. Again, it's my opinion, and was trying to talk about basketball. Instead, you are turning it from that into being about me.

 

Aww, toughen up bub

Let the tank begin! Who's with me!

 

I'm tough enough, just wondering why you applaud a poster for telling me I make threads about myself, and then you make a thread about me? Seems odd to me

 

What happened to this guy? The more we win, the more of a bitch his posts become. (I'm attacking the posts)

 

It's an L-Train.

 

If you hadn't quoted him, I wouldn't have known he said anything. lol Sometimes, you just have to block out the negative and stick with the people that want to have fun and enjoy the ride.

 

I disagree. I have been trying to talk basketball

 

And I am not being negative

 

Haha the crazy thing is, in another thread, he told me he was "trying to just talk basketball, what should I do?" I replied, "just enjoy the ride man"..that was before reading the quoted post. Great minds etc..

 

I don't think losing to OKC means anything more or less than any loss. If the Blazers have a bad game, we can stick to the "8th seed - lottery" narrative? I also don't understand hedging your bets. As a sports writer, their entire lively hood is to make people think they know more than everyone else so people tune into them, and God forbid the mind-reading and voodoo predictions the make aren't perceived as gospel. But I don't understand that thinking at all if you consider yourself a fan. What do you have to lose?
