    I do sort of remember that season. For what its worth I hope you’re right. I think GS has already gotten kind of bored in the regular season. As long as they’re in the playoffs, their gonns be really hard to beat. I still think they’ll win 55-60 games, but this is why they play the games.

    I used to see people say that your posts were a schtick. I thought you were just a really big homer towards the Blazers. However, you've made some comments here the last couple days that are just head scratching. I'm starting to believe those other people!

    Kingspeed gets shit on more than any other poster on the board. Literally every time he posts, you can expect the same group of people to go after him. His posts might be a little out there, but ultimately harmless. I don’t even agree with a lot of what he says, but he should be able to post without getting bulldozed. If you dont like it, put him on ignore. Simple.

    Bulldozed is the perfect word.

    Can’t believe we’re only 17 days til the NBA season tops off and 19 days away from our opening night battle with the Lakers. #RipCity #40Wins

    I didn't say anything about not liking him or his posting style. Much like The HCP, I was just curious whether it's sometimes an act or if he's really serious all the time. I don't put people on ignore.

    Bro I’m on here goofing and having fun! He actually thinks we will win 65 games this year and the Warriors might not make the playoffs. Trust me, there’s a difference.

    Sir are you talking about focal point or the depth of field of this image? I got a new iPhone and am very excited about the camera.

    Enjoy your new toy. A real photographer would use a real camera. A large format camera with a little front tilt and every one of those pumpkins would be in focus. The toy camera crowd likes to refer to blurry images as "selective focus". With a real camera, there is no need to select which 90% of your image is blurry.

    I had the 7+, so I was due. And I love taking pics, so just the camera upgrade was worth it. I can’t believe how fast and responsive this phone is. I went with the XS Max. I guess it really depends on what you use your phone for. Only had it 2 days, but am really loving the images I’ve captured. I can really tell the difference.

    I question some of his posts, but I dont feel like its bulldozing him. Part of a forum is people are going to question what we post. I actually appreciate some of the more positive posters like him, who see the Blazers in a much brighter light than I do sometimes. Theres a few of them. I may not agree, and sometimes I may think they’re a little crazy, but Im sure they think the same about my posts so...

    Ahhh. Yes, The HCP never said he was a real photographer. Not by any means. I wish I had a real camera for sure. Check out my Instagram, I’ve got some creative stuff going on. Have to be creative when you’re just shooting with a phone. I have a few professional photographers as friends. Would love to learn from them one day.

    You can take incredible pictures with almost any modern phone at this point.

    Personally, the HCP/Kingspeed/MM love triangle is one of the reasons I enjoy the boards so much! I mostly enjoy Kingspeed and HCP (though, seriously, shelve this Laker BS) posts. MM has been pounding the same drum way too much for me in the last 2 years, but that's the boards.
