    I believe HCP tweeted a similar pic to Dame last series to which Dame actually responded. He needs to get on this again.

    Since when did sexual orientation have anything to do with the ability to play a game? Social issues have no place in sports. That's the beauty of it; it's a complete meritocracy. Race, religion, creed, sexual orientation, none of it matters.

    I just find the topic extremely boring and I was hoping they would talk about the NBA. They barely talked about the playoffs at all, and instead talked about Johnny Douchebag and where Sam would get drafted.

    The French trash talking would actually be pretty good between them.

    "You shower every day"

    "You drink Californian wine"

    "Your girlfriend shaves her armpits"

    "You don't even smoke a pack a day"

    "Those shoes were mocked in Milan's 2013 Fashion Show"

    "You wear baggy trunks to the beach"

    Yeah, Comcast and Charter both televise Blazer games in parts of Washington and because they don't have a pro basketball team like Oregon doesn't have pro football team.

    Of course you're the underdogs. Your D is soft as a baby's bottom, and you haven't done anything to prove yourself. I hope you guys have your fishing rods ready, I gotta go find my good broom. :]

    No one on our roster played more than 30 mpg in the RS. Our guys are fresh.

    Beating the Rockets didn't prove anything? You were taken to seven games by the 8th seed :lol:

    A very good 8th seed, stacked with HOFs, a top 2 coach in the league, and our long time rival, and division rival. I expected it to go 6, but wasn't shocked when it went 7. Houston was a mentally weak team, led by losers like Coward and Harden whose whole game is predicated on step back threes and flopping.

    Interesting... So when the spurs lost to the 8th seeded Memphis team, you got another excuse?

    The Mavs are far from the talent pool or level of the Rockets. That's why the Rockets were the 4th seed. But hey bro, do whatever it takes for you to feel like your team is completely dominate. As I respect the Spurs, I find no reach in trying to justify why I feel the Blazers are the better team.

    Fortunately for you, your coach won't take our team as lightly as you do. Otherwise, you would be swept under the rug like all the other teams that underestimated us.

    I hope the blazers defense remains this underrated through out the entire post season! However I don't see that notion staying if they take this series.

    I agree. I think our defense can be good when it needs to and in the way we need it to. When it comes to defense we dont have to hold the other team in the 90's. We just have to hold them to less than we score. And part of that it tempo, pace and ball control.
