    I come from the school of "if the shoe fits.......". I never
    You have some reading comprehension issues. You claimed I called people idiots for bumping threads. That insinuates if a person bumps a thread that's a day old or even longer up to 2 years are idiots and that was NEVER said by me. Bottom line,you mischaracterized what I posted? I also don't need you lecturing me on how and what I post. Let the mods handle that part. I never called any individual out as it was said in general where as you called me out in this post and have even gone as far as starting a thread complaining about me awhile back. That was pretty classless. Maybe putting you back on ignore would be better and you should do the same so you don't get bothered by what I say.

    Lebron James and Anthony Davis are above them.

    In the Western Conference, I think Jamal Murray is over-rated (Jokic is not) and so is Donovan Mitchell/Gobert . So I'd say our two best players are #3 in the WC.

    In the eastern conference, Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid are pretty good. Giannis Antetokounmpo (MVP) and Khris Middleton are pretty good too.

    Bumping threads is BUMPING old threads. A thread two days old isn't a bump, its adding to the thread. Learn the game then post. ......


    Fuck...Please put me on ignore... or get a fucking clue what bumping threads entails......

    And I have reading comprehensions issues...

    HAHAHAHAH
    Middle Finger emoticon to you.
    Now go get lost and dont find your way back here.

    Thanks for showing us how to act like a tool in an internet forum. You have more than just reading comprehension issues. Now can we please move on and you quit acting so petty?

    Disagree about Davis and James. LeBron needs to play more than 60 games this year before I put him and Davis above our duo.

    If you want to move on you never should have quoted me to begin with mr. mature (NOT)......

    Hmmm, lets talk smack and insult someone and then turn around and ask them to move on...

    You are priceless my man. I have literally NEVER met or had interactions with some with so many glaring double standards as you.

    You mentioned that ignore button. Use it. Now. Because you just made my shit list again...

    What difference does it make how many games Lebron plays? I'm not commenting on the regular season standings or MVP race. Lebron and Davis are better than Lillard and McCollum.

    Thanks riverman. I was aware of that feature. I was just expressing an opinion regarding all these threads that have been rising to the front page for no purpose and some are several years old and today, I see one that was ended back in 2003 and now it's on the front page. If people like all these random threads to be put on the front page then so be it. I just think it mucks up a forum.

    Look at the timeline. Id forgotten about it until it was brought back up today. Not by me though. ;)
    Anyhow. There is a thread created to divert the pissing to there instead of here, for a purpose, in case you missed the underlying motive for that thread creation. . Even if on the surface its a legit question that should hopefully end all the pissing about bumping as well, i was thinking.

    What is the difference between a cry baby and a Blazer fan?

    The baby will stop crying eventually.

    Rather Than Separate Their Stars, the Blazers Bet on Their Foundation

    Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum have started alongside one another for four years, long enough for those in the NBA world to conceive of every possible way they could be pried apart. Both are natural scorers, listed at 6'3", and capable of initiating an offense. To some, this will always read as redundancy—reason enough to trade one or the other, and thus to play the parlor game of how such a thing might be possible. Members of other organizations brainstorm possibilities. Media types debate the merits. If one were to mine the data depths of the Trade Machine, they would find a trove of hypothetical moves for either Lillard or McCollum, bringing to Portland some wing or big with less potential for overlap.

    Rather than indulge the idea (one that general manager Neil Olshey has dismissed repeatedly), the Blazers opted for a different approach this summer: they kept Lillard and McCollum while changing most everything else. Thirteen players logged at least 500 minutes for Portland last season. Lillard and McCollum are obviously among them. Of the other 11, only two (Zach Collins and Rodney Hood) will play for the Blazers at the start of the 2019-20 season. A team that was competing in the Western Conference finals not two months ago will have to completely rework its rotation, erasing any hope of picking up where they left off......(cont.)

    Beside where this thread belongs, I think they are #1. GS Splash Twins is a close second.

    Great article. Still kinda weird, seeing the national attention that we're starting to get. Not to mention, actually hearing positive things about the team too. Odd....
