I think people are overreacting to the last couple days

tired excuse.....every team has injuries...we got 3rd because we won games...Mo was injured when we won a lot of them...the Blazers have the most injury laden history of bad luck in sports and we've been pretty healthy since....Nate wouldn't play rookies and played his starters to exhaustion...I've said it before....the need for speed is the new game...3 pt shooting is the new game....youth is on our side whether people think Cousins is going to be the same or not after the same surgery Wes had....Wes is not the same.....teams are signing small term contracts this offseason....1 year 2 year deals....Ed signed for a year Stauskas signed for a year

 

No.

Every bit of toughness the blazers showed last season was shown by Ed.

100% of it.

 

Portland as always. I just think Neil is shit at his job

 

You must've missed my post.

 

Know how we say "link or it didn't happen"?

Show me a link that says he offered ANYTHING to Ed or Wes.

If you can't find one, it didn't happen. I'll wait.

 

Au contraire

 

Cut that fucker now.

 

If there EVER was a waive and stretch candidate...

 

Whoa! We have a certifiable Mr. Olympiduh on the team!!!

 

Could've fooled me....to me you've spelled out a doomsday reason to hate the franchise...Olshey included...

 

nah...I don't buy that at all....Ed lost against the Pels just like everybody...Chief plays tough, ET plays tough, Nurk played tough at times....I think you're wrong about that....Ed was great....but he was why they doubled Dame and CJ in the finals...they let our defensive tough guys shoot...this year they are targeting shooters that will make them pay for doing that.....Collins played tough...Bazz played tough defense..Mason Plumlee was tough the previous season...but he was wide open and the go to guy at the end of every fucking game...that wasn't going to beat contenders in the playoffs very often

 

Oh we are pulling the barfo now? Twisting words. Yes the organization as in the guys that run it. Paul and Neil. Fuck them. But oh look you caught me I hate the blazers that’s why I’m on the forum and have been a fan my whole life weeeeeeeeeee!

 

I quoted your words....they are what they are..deal with it....you vent, you own your vent..I don't have to twist anything...the hate is strong around here this off season.....when I see some optimism...I'll agree with it...constructive criticisms are not saying the front office doesn't give a fuck about the fans...that's you saying that dude...barfo is much better at replies than I'll ever be...I take that as a compliment.

 

Lol okay man. Whatever you say.

 

I merely point out that you have options.....find a franchise you can really cheer for or just keep being a fan of a team that in your words is run by jokes who don't give a shit......I think it's sensationalizing and that's it

 

You're twisting his words. You said he hates the Blazers, because he said he has no faith in Neil and Paul.

 

Having little faith in the organization doesn't mean you hate the franchise man...

How much faith do you think Cleveland Browns fans have in their organization? Do they hate their team?

I don't have much faith in Neil right now. Frankly, I'm fucking pissed at him right now. That MF fucked us by paying Butters and letting Ed walk for less than half as much as he makes.

IT'S. FUCKING. SHAMEFUL.

I wanna pop Neil right in his smug punchable mouth right now...

Fan is short for fanatic...

I wouldn't. Lol!

Buuuut... If I saw him in passing I'd say:

SHAME ON YOU FOR PAYING MYERS AND LETTING ED WALK!! YOU DON'T DESERVE VALET PARKING!!

 

you too? Saying the hate is strong around here this offseason wasn't singling him out...now you're twisting words...and you're wrong about Swanigan by the way....and you don't know what he'll develop into at all......not liking somebody is not a reason to say they're fringe NBA players at best.....I disagree completely on your take about that....people said CJ would suck his first year here too

 

I made my point.....and you prove it...there's a lot of hate around here this offseason...those were my words...and there is...I see we sign two new guys and think...hey..what can they bring that we lacked....haven't seen an objective post about Stauskas or Curry yet..maybe I've missed one ….I want to enjoy the process..not argue about disappointments that are no longer issues....if I start a thread about the new guys I promise...the responses will be overwhelmingly negative....nobody like Big Ed more than me but I liked Andre Miller too....didn't like losing either guy...I'm hoping for improvement not looking for abject failure after failure...especially concerning Paul Allen's money. I'm ready for the young guys to show big improvements
