    They aren't more talented, and they aren't more motivated.

    Who'd you make a bet with? You never took my bet. I would love to make that bet still. You're a horrible fan/person. You come into a BLAZERS forum after every LOSS and brag about how bad you think we are. Get a life, get out of here, and don't come back.

    Jinx I thought we were boys. Now you want me to get out of here and not come back? I thought we DID make the bet by the way. And I want you to go back and look at the threads. After the games and work, I went on and gave us props after wins. And I have never once "bragged" about my team being bad, not once.

    You never said yes. But it's still there. I'll collect my $100 in February at the latest. And no, we're not boys if you're gonna say I told you so after Blazer losses. That's bad form. Some of us love the team and want it to do well. We're not placing bets that we'll suck. The very fact that you're taking my bet says it all. You're betting against the team which about the worst thing a fan can do. Tell Dame you hope they don't win 20 games by the All Star game. What a great fan you are.

    16 more wins by feburary? Shit, that's tempting to take. I think they'd get 20 wins by Feburary. I am in my wait and see mode, but I have seen enough to think they are going to win at least 20 by Feb.

    Yes, 20 wins by All Star break which means they have to be at least 20-34. That's the bet I have with HCP and Uncle Ty. It's an easy $200 coming my way,

    I said "February at the latest" because we might get our 20th win in January but the bet is by the All Star break.

    You say I told you so after every Blazer win. In fact, this thread is proof of that... You bring this on yourself.

    Yes, anyone with lower expectations than you is by definition a horrible fan/person. And low expectations automatically means they are actively rooting against the Blazers. What the hell is wrong with you? Grow up.

    Saying "I told you so" after a loss is not the same as saying it after a win. Saying it after a loss is absolutely much more negative. It's just trying to bring people down. People like you and HCP seem to just love being negative, and trying to make other people be negative about the team. It's pretty ridiculous if you don't see how that is worse than being positive and hoping other fans are positive too.

    A) It is the same. And if you don't want people saying I told you so, then don't start a fucking thread saying I told you so.
    B) I don't love being negative, in fact I don't even think I am. I have an opinion on how good I think the team will be this year, that's all. Just because my expectations aren't like yours doesn't mean I'm negative. I obviously hope they exceed my expectations... because I'm a fan...

    As KingSpeed already pointed out, it's not really about expectations. There are many people that don't think we will be .500 or better that aren't constantly and proudly negative like HCP is.

    I don't think HCP has been constantly or proudly negative. He's been blunt on how he thinks the team will do this season.

    Just this week he has called people crazy and blind for thinking we'll be better than he thinks we'll be. Not only is he continuously negative, he's pompous about it. I don't care enough to go through his posts, I won't subject myself to that torture, but I know what I've read.

    Have you read my post game posts? Just wondering. I have not come on here and have been negative or I told you so. The ONLY two people on here who continue to say I have are you and Jinx. Please find where I have been negative like that. Don't like having people say I said things when I didn't.

    Didn't take long to find a post that essentially boils down to "I told you so" ...

    Bro you're mistaken. You've bitched and complained about everything I've posted on here since you crawled on here to S2!
    I have said nothing but we lack talent and won't make the playoffs. And have been called a hater all fall. Before when we were killing teams, I got called out for being a homer and only posting positive things. This team has changed and so has my opinion of it. Like I've said before, please find where I was ever over the line.
