    Hey you should post in "Clutchfans" they hold the same IQ and will gush over your homerism.

    I would recommend writing a piece about how the Rockets should flop now (cough cough because they don't flop) so they get calls.

    I'm sorry I didn't point out the sarcasm. I thought the 'Official forum of the Portland Trailblazers' could figure something like that out.

    Sorry, it's just hard believing anything you write being sarcastic when you put Houston #1 in the power rankings seriously...

    Hey, I have an idea... Rather than just come here and be all butt hurt that someone disagreed with your article, why not defend what you wrote? This is your golden opportunity to prove you're the one that is right and I'm the clueless dip shit.

    So, here's what I wrote:

    "Even if we ignore GSW, MEM, TOR and all the other teams that have won more games than the Rockets, AND have been playing better lately, just look at the No. 4 Blazers:

    No. 1 HOU, 21-9, have lost 4 of their last 6, 5-5 in their last 10 games with a +0.80 MOV

    No. 4 POR, 26-7, have won 4 in a row, 9-1 in their last 10, with a +10.30 MOV"

    Go ahead, shoot me down. Tell us all why the 21-9 rockets, who have gone 5-5 in their last 10 games deserve to be ranked above the 25-7 Blazers who have won 9 of their last 10. There must be some reason why you ranked the Rockets first, ahead of the Blazers (and the Warriors, Grizzlies, Raptors, etc.). So, what is it???

    The Blazers are off to a good start, but they haven't proven anything yet.

    Oh shit! Egg on my face. You TOTALLY got me on this one!!! So, your power rankings weren't meant to be taken seriously? That explains EVERYTHING. Oh man, was I wrong. Slam Dunk Zone isn't the new Bleacher Report, apparently it's The Onion of online sports journalism. Man, good one!

    Give the kid a break. He's only in 8th grade and writes for his school newspaper.

    They've proven they have won 9 of their last 10. What have the Rockets proven? That they've lost 4 of their last 6.

    I was just quoting Terry Stotts. Thought you might pick up on that one.

    And didn't you know?! He wrote that the signing of Josh Smith (30% from the field and 45% FT) is just the player to get them over the hump!

    Yeah, but the execution was horrible. Now you just look silly using my sig quote. Up your game, FAMS!

    A coach saying that is much different than a wannabe journalist, trying to defend putting the Rockets first in the power rankings.
