    He himself admits he is a giant homer....that is why I used the word "admitted". He predicts the Blazers are going to win 60 games most every year and this year said he would come down to 50 because of some of the new players. I'm not dismissing him being closer than me at all this year and am very glad he was more correct. However, his prediction comes from a place of "admitted homerism" because he believes the Blazers have a legit shot to go to the WCF every season no matter what. While I can enjoy his optimism, that doesn't mean it is based in any reality...that is just what he chooses to believe. The same as someone who is constantly negative isn't likely based in reality either. Not sure where I mentioned being optimistic ANYWHERE as being a character flaw but then again, a lot of people are taking serious license with words and phrases today so maybe that is just a 'Monday' thing.

    That's fine that he is that optimistic and it's fun for him but I wouldn't let him be handling any bets or investments anytime soon....lol.

    HE WAS RIGHT????? THE NUTJOB SAID WE WERE BETTER THAN LAAST YEARS TEAM AND WOULD WIN FUCKING 55 GAMES!!!! How is that right? Last years team would sweep this team in a matchup.
    This years team has completely blown away all my expectations, and most experts as well. Have played balls out and made me so proud. But I'll be god damned if them finishing above expectations make JinxSpeed "RIGHT"

    Need I remind you all that HCP mocked me for saying we'd be closer to 23 wins than 55 wins. Openly mocked me.

    I predict 82-0 every year but I have no trolls. You guys need to up your game. Or are you afraid to mess with big dawgs cause you might get bit?

    Sweep? Haha we'll have a difference in 6-7 wins for the season. I don't know what makes you think last year's team would sweep this year's team, especially when the only reason we didn't get swept last year was because of players that still play on this year's team.

    I've never "admitted I'm a homer."

    Dude you said we'd be closer to 23 than 55. You were wrong, I was right. Oh, and pay up.

    Except you weren't who I was referring to in the least. Way to try and inject yourself into a place where it didn't belong. Are posters not paying enough attention to you? Someone give Erik a hug. :smiley-hug:
