The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

I've been talking Blazers with Cup for at least 18 years now. Honestly, I've seen him argue with so many people over the years that I just don't get involved with his posts very much anymore so it isn't about giving his posts more respect.

 

The 2nd year is only partial guaranteed so it isn't too much more than a 1 year deal. Korver is a better fit than Bayless and they are trading two wings away in the Muscala trade so it makes sense.

 

And when he is wrong, which isn't often, @Boob-No-More OWNS HIS SHIT and doesn't try to pass off hindsight as foresight.

 

Sixers played well end of season because of Ersan and Marco outside shooting. They lost both of them so Korver is pretty necessary to what they do.

 

So? Who gives a fuck? You also talked to a German who said some RACIST shit about Nurk so FUCK your sources... Why should we care what they think?

Yes, I've been drinking...

 

I know some bosnian people who think the same about Nurkic when it comes to Motivation and work attitude, so they are also racists ? Dumb post

 

Back at you hj as i have seen plenty of your attacks on posters as well.

 

No it wasn't just Nurk, it was ALL Bosnians your guy said were lazy. Stop revising history.

 

I'm not denying that. I was just trying to answer his question.

 

And you are posting this as if this gives your opinion credibility? Who the fuck on local radio knows anything about the NBA? And just because some guy returning cans in front of you in line at 7-11 has the same opinion as you...... shit!

 

I have to admit I listen to local sports radio most days and yes Gronk regurgitated the narrative of a journalist whose #1 priority is to stay relevant so he can pay his Bill's. The best way to do so is to stay controversial in ones opinionated narrative, the controversy causes buzz which causes clicks on websites and phone calls it brainwashed the casual observers because they use this "writer" as the source of knowledge. This writer is a protagonist who has alienated the one franchise we do have, calls them out constantly by calling them thin skinned and scared to face him etc. The man is an out and out bully by every definition. The fact that the audio lead in to the show features people calling the station to complain about him show you the arrogance and desire to be the story not tell the story. And just like the poster in question the Blazers have a 100% failure rate according to this writer, but hey people click the links.

 

But wait theres more. The tactic of "journalism" used is manipulative. Rather than informing of the facts and discussion of possibilities, the tactic that is used is to inform you of how you should feel. "If you are a Blazer fan you should be angry about this"... "if I were a blazer fan I would be outraged by that"... it's all delivered in the form of suggestive manipulation of your thoughts, aka brainwashing.

 

It's funny that you think that you influence the thoughts of others... there should be outrage, so that's why you post the way you do? As if your posts can influence outrage? Hahaha.

 

Come on bro, you always have to try to insult somebody? Trying to make fun of people returning cans and you work as a video guy... comical!

And if your curious... a place I’ve had Blazers conversations and heard many of those opinions is the gym... somewhere you obviously have never been.

 

He's not going to Atlanta. They're buying him out.

 

Yeah, I actually do... most fans don’t spend as much time following the team as the forum regulars. They depend on other people’s opinions to form their own. Someone may browse the forum every once in a while, then they bring stuff they read to conversations they may have on a given day about the Blazers, which may influence more people with those thoughts about the team. I am simply reminding people that nothing has changed. Blazers were swept by Pelicans and Neil made no major changes to improve roster.

 

LOL. Bruh... We keep up with the team just as much or more than you do.

We don't need your "reminders"...

 

Did you read the entire post. I am posting for the casual forum browsing fans, not the regulars. I just can’t understand how some of you are ok with Neil’s inactivity after last seasons failure... you want everyone to forget and act like this team has no issues and Neil doesn’t have to do anything. I mean Nick Stauskas... seriously?!
