    Being double teamed and only having one other star level player on your team tends to mean you're going to have to force some shots. It's not as though there are a lot of other options if the Blazers are going to win. Put Green on this team, and Dame's shot selection and shooting percentages will go up.

    What would this forum be without the drama?

    BTW, that's not rhetorical. It's a serious question. There has been so much drama for so long, I can't even get my brain around what this forum would be without it.

    I couldn't have said it better myself.

    Different viewpoints and discussion are what make this place fun to be apart of. Constructive criticism, and positive reinforcement are two great viewpoints to discuss. Getting butt hurt, because you don't agree with people and leaving is lame. IMO.

    Edit: and sometimes people just make boneheaded plays and you want to vent! it's sports damn it!

    I was thinking more like enjoyable or fun, but that's just me.

    Everyone is different i suppose. I like the internet cause people say all the bullshit in their minds, typically with little to no filter. That to me is entertainment. But i forget that not everyone is like me. i have no buttons to push, nothing anyone says has any affect on my mood or life.

    There's a difference between being positive, and being ridiculously overconfident about our chances.

    Blazers in 3. I think if we double their score in both games we get extra credit.

    There are people who are inherently positive, and I don't think there's any problem. There are people who are full on Homers.... and again, for the most part, there is no problem. Then there is Kingspeed. He is a whole other breed of homer.

    I think I tend to be more negative in game threads, but that's mostly me bitching about the refs because I hate the refs.... and the NBA.... I hate the NBA.

    When I'm watching the games, if something great happens, I tend to be too busy jumping up and down. If something bad happens, like a horrible call, I just want to vent. This place is my release valve for anger towards the game. It's cathartic.

    It's all down to perspective.
    Just because someone has a different view/take on a situation to yourself - doesn't automatically make them wrong.
    Just because you deem your own opinion as right (and positive), doesn't make someone elses wrong (and negative).

    As in life, it's not black and white, but all shades of grey in-between.
    Whatever happened to freedom of speech, and people defending the right of another to hold differing opinions.

    Homers and Neg Nancys UNITE!
