    They are so much more enjoyable to watch, and better than last year

    I still go with 19 games. Way too early and so much can happen.

    I should probably back that up. I'm talking about asthetics. It's too early to say this team is better than the Sheed, Sabas, Pippen teams in the late nineties or on par with those Drexler-Adelman teams. They still have to do something in the playoffs.

    To win the NBA finals well of course, as of now, it's pretty solid

    Cuz he's doing something 97% of this board can't do: admit when they're wrong.

    Dude this is pretty damn good. He was the last realist I wanted to come on board. He's never "hated" this team. He was just being careful.

    Yep.

    You know, with enough ketchup, crow doesn't taste that bad.

    For the record, I'm thrilled to have been so wrong about this team.

    P.S. Do not FUCKING lose to Utah.

    We're 16-3. Since the Blazers are good, we gotta find something to bitch and moan about.

    Besides Mrs. HCP, that is.

    My pleasure. This was payback for reading your "realist" posts in the other threads full of optimism. :MARIS61:

    This isn't quite right. I fucking loathed the team two years ago. Fat-boy Felton made me root for this team to lose.

    Everybody did. It was a sad day, ER um year, to be a blazer fan.

    "Hot"--when it comes to my Blazers--only comes in one flavor: "red and rollin'".

    Payback? I'm optimistic when there's reason to be and I don't hesitate to call a turd sandwich a turd sandwich when I see one. Put me on ignore and all of your problems will go away.

    I had to vent. First time in my 5 years here when I have very little to hate on for my late night stress relief. Sorry for derailing your thread

    This group is really playing as a team! One guy gets cold or is a bit off - - and someone else steps right up. Mo Williams is finding his role and with some polish could find himself as a candidate for 6th man. LMA is playing like a contender for MVP (heard the chants tonight!!) and Lillard is going to be selected as an All Star if this continues....and he's truly not playing up to his potential of late. Just loving how Wesley and Robin are contributing! And Stotts....this guy is great!

    After several years - we are playing basketball to a level that makes me proud to be a fanatic.

    Maybe we should all Mea Culpa. I predicted only 47 wins!
