Was the upcoming game vs. the Lakers always on ESPN?

Nurkic Return spoiling Kobe night.... hmmmmm.

 

Honestly? Good. This was a super tragic situation that’s more than basketball. In fact fuck basketball. Kids died on that helicopter. If this win for the lakers even for 1 seconds helps them heal in a small way, then so be it. RIP to the victims

 

This will be the ultimate of whether "scheduled losses" are a thing.

 

How do you figure? The Lakers are a way better team this year.

 

And they have all the scheduled advantages.

You're too argumentative lately for your own good. I guess too much time with BJ will do that.

 

Asking you a question is becoming too argumentative?

Usually a scheduled loss is playing a team on a back to back when they've been resting for a few days or something like that. Portland has had several days off in between their last few games. In my opinion saying the top team in the west beating the 10th team in the west at home in a non back to back situation isn't anywhere close to proving that scheduled losses are a thing.

 

It's probably me just being wildly optimistic, but I think the Blazers stand an excellent chance of stealing this one. Certainly much better chance than we would under normal circumstances, given the talent disparity.

How many times do you see championship teams lose on Ring Ceremony night? It happens quite a lot.

Athletes are humans, and we don't perform well when there's a massive psychological distraction.*

*Well, most athletes are human. Damian Lillard don't give a fuck about distractions.

 

Gotta agree bro. You must admit your posting style has changed. Couple years ago absolutely no one would be including you in a conversation about why they don't post on a forum any longer.

 

It's definitely going to be an emotional game. When emotions are involved anything can happen for sure.

 

Nah man, fuck the Lakers.
Ariza,CJ and Dame knew Kobe too.

Beating the Lakers is always what's best for business.

 

Or is this the perfect example of how people like you are "ruining" the forum by blaming other people simply because they don't share the same opinions as you?

I asked him a question. I was absolutely not argumentative. Nor did I say anything at all about him or his posting style. But because I don't think our current coach is doing a good enough job here you are piling on when this conversation never should've been taken down this road.

If we beat them, scheduled losses are a myth.

It's not that complicated. You don't have to disagree with everything.

 

Is this a kobe joke?!

 

Hoops i just said your posting style has changed. That's it man. If you can't handle the truth i apologize. Like i said couple years ago you posted differently. Nothing more nothing less.

 

And that's not including the fees! Ticket reseller sounds like a good market to be in.

 

This is a flat out lie man. We used to argue on O-Live because you used to actively hate Aminu because he was "ugly." Other than that we used to agree on a lot of stuff. Literally the only thing that has changed is that we no longer agree on everything and that is my point. You and others read my posts differently because of my stance on Stotts.

The fact is I asked a question asking for clarification from his comment. It was in no way argumentative, not even in the slightest bit, but here you are continuing to pile on when I've done nothing here to warrant it. So I'll ask you who is the real problem poster here? It's you.

 

"Actively hate Aminu because he was Ugly"???
I have never in my life uttered such words written or verbal.
I am sure i said at many points his game was Ugly, Train Wreck, Disturbing, Defeating or what have you. But i have never said anything bad about Aminu as a person ever. Get your facts straight.
Now as far as the rest of your comment. You have made my point. Thanks.

 

I understand Kobe was a Laker, but really how many of the current team played with him?

 

Called it!
