    Oh man I don’t say stuff like that. I don’t agree with saying shit like that. That’s fucked up. It’s not that serious. Its just a game at the end of the day.

    I just don’t want that mediocracy thinking on the basis of the game. That’s all. Predicting to win 65 games and shit is a little over the top I agree as well because I just want a team with good numbers. Assists, defensive ratings, coaching, if those are above average or getting better every game then great. Nobody should complain. But that’s not happening unfortunately big bro

    I had a former co-worker who was a complete and utter numpty.

    Like literally, the biggest fucking idiot ever. I left that job (thank God it was a soul crushing dumpster fire of a job) and he was given a raise and promoted.

    I ran into him the other month and he tried to talk shit about how he got the job I wanted (I didn't) and he thought he was paid more than I was at my new job (he wasn't). He had gotten married, and thought I was jealous of him, etc.

    Nope, even if he had a better job, he would still be a fucking loser.


    Point being? Sometimes this place is a lot like him. Bragging about dumb things, still acting like a dipshit, and not letting go of anything.

    While Dame is going through a rough patch, his old rivals Steph Curry and Russell Westbrook have gone HAM.

    I would be happy for him and root for him, but I genuinely don't think that's what he wants.

    LA could've been remembered, but he bailed on us and now he's not going to be celebrated anywhere.

    It would be best just to let it go.

    The thing is Bones and Hoops are awesome Blazer Fans. They pretty much live and breathe the Blazers and want the very best. They have a great following on their pod cast. Probably two of the most knowledgeable basketball fans you will find anywhere.

    So lets just leave it at that and wish them all the best and support their endeavors. They are both decent men who are working hard to create something very special.

    Hats Off the Blazers Uprise
    Hats Off to Blazer Broadcasting. They also are doing the very best they can and have created one of the very best products around the league. HCP is a big part od that as well.

    You didn’t mention @THE HCP ’s podcast Hometrippin’ With Big John......which is about to start it’s second season.
    A podcast in which I do not take myself or my takes seriously.
