    c'mon eric....you predict a championship for Portland every single season, and you predict a win in every game thread....but you're dissing people for wrong predictions?

    It was an unbelievable lack of faith in our team in this thread. People have to be called out.

    Because this place is entirely too negative.

    I see nothing wrong with calling out bad prediction, no matter which direction you missed it

    Agreed. But it's like when the person who cheats on their spouse calls you out for looking at someone else.

    I disagree. People make the predictions here all the time; part of the fun. We don't need a room monitor keeping track of missed predictions especially when it's used to gauge the purity of somebody's fandom

    obviously, if I'm always right I'd have a different opinion

    I’ll be sure to go collect all your wildly off base ridiculous predictions that never happened. Please hold, will be back in 2023.

    I don't mind @KSF-ERIC calling people out for making the wrong predictions but you touched on what I do mind. When he questions how dedicated of a fan someone is because they have a different idea of what the team is capable of, that's nonsense. In his world unless you grossly overestimate the team, you're not a fan. I don't think him being completely delusional about how good our team is makes him less of a fan but I do think it gives him a huge credibility problem in here.

    Only the playoffs matter now.

    We win if we lose in the first or second round as we get stotts out of here finally.

    We win if we make it to the conference finals or the finals, cause that's fun. Then we lose cause stotts is still here, but at least we had fun along the way this year.

    Lots to look forward to.

    Grizzlies up three over Dallas at halftime, too close to call.

    I think you are a bad fan if you quit on the team when they hit a little adversity. Thank goodness Dame, Olshey, Stotts, etc don’t quit.

    They weren’t delusional. They were staying in the fight. You need to be paid to stay in the fight with your team.

    It’s baseball but “when the odds are sayin you’ll never win, that’s when the grin should start.”:

    And what’s delusional about rooting for your team? You either root for them or you don’t. I root for them.

    you do more than that. You "root'' for Portland, and you spend a lot of time here trashing people who don't root for Portland in the same way you do
