    There really is a double standard here.

    When the team struggles: "it's early", "be patient", "don't over-react!" When the team plays well: "you must buy in 100% immediately or you aren't a true fan!"

    Would you look down in me because I don’t know what the Central banks are?

    I don't recall you putting a 1st place or bust qualifier on it.

    I look down on you. But that's only because you're short.

    "It's early", "be patient", "don't over-react" are not an exercise in fandom. It is an exercise in intelligence.
    And....NOBODY ANYWHERE ANYTIME has said "buy in 100% or your not a true fan"...as opposed to some who feel all is a failure if you're not in 1st place after 20 games??
    What is happening, however, is about credibility. That's all.
    There is nothing wrong with the "I would be happy to be proven wrong" rebuttal, depending on how hard you argued, but for some to just disappear during "good times"?..
    C'mon. I would argue, THAT, is your "double standard"..

    Imagine there is a Bank of America to the left, US Bank to the right, and between them Key bank.

    It's Key bank.

    You are welcome.

    Sad is the reading comprehension being displayed here.

    "I currently stand by all my statements bashing Cronin's moves and the trades. If the Blazers are #1 in the West after 20 games I'll take it all back. Would love to be proven wrong."

    That doesn't say he'll only buy in if in first place after 20 games. It just says that he will take it all back if they are in 1st at that point.

    If I had taken a shot of bourbon for every layup Nurk missed I would have passed out and missed the ending.

    I might start doing this.

    He is so quick and difficult to get around. Looks like he may be that rare star on both offense and defense.

    "here" is largely redundant in that sentence. "being displayed" strongly implies "here".

    It seems like Nurk gets out rebounded 4 out of 5 times when the rebound is strongly contested, even by smaller players?

    What, you're calling him the second coming of Leonard.....who consistently gets out rebounded by his own wife?!
