    Agree to disagree. I think it makes our fan base look like it has a sense of humor and different from others.

    No, I didn't protest then, and I'm not protesting now. I have no idea who is even behind this, nor do I care. I was just expressing my opinion.

    Well now others cities that have a realistic shot at LeBron can make fun of Portland, too. Who exactly is the joke on? What's the point of making fun of other cities? Depending on if people outside of Portland "get the joke" or not it makes Portland fans look like either a bunch of assholes, or a bunch of idiots.

    LeBron was actually flattered by the billboards in those other cities:

    "It is actually very flattering that I'm sitting here at 33 and in my 15th year and teams or guys -- I don't want to say teams because that becomes tampering -- but people in their respective city want me to play for them. That's cool I think. That's dope."

    I wonder if he considers being called a 3rd option flattering or "dope".

    You’re taking this all too seriously man. He’s the best player in the world, he knows it and everyone knows it. He also knows he’s not going to be a third option on any team and I assume is smart enough or has enough of a sense of humor to realize it’s a joke.

    Cleveland doesn’t care about the regular season. Only thing that matters to them is being healthy at the right time.

    Don't assume that just because I didn't find it funny, that I'm taking it too seriously.

    Third option isn't role player. Lebron has been on teams with two other stars. If that sign is the reason he doesn't come then it wasn't meant to be lol.

    Facts: The Rockets are rooting for the Spurs to win out to get the 3rd seed. They don’t want to face them in the 2nd round.

    So if you’re the Rockets do you really want to play the Spurs?

    Yes. If i'm the Rockets i would fear no team in the league right now. Playing the Spurs lets me stay in Texas and sleep in my bed every night during the series. It's never leaving Texas during the playoffs for another 10 days minimum.
    Absolutely!

    Quick is being a drama queen. Report news, not what you think, Jason.

    Just because you don't like the news doesn't mean it isn't true.
    Lillard is probably done for the rest of the regular season.

    Crazy that Spurs actually still have a chance to win 50 games this season.

    How do you know this? There's no news here. Just you and Quick speculating.

    Well Quick is talking first hand.
    You on the other hand have a tendency towards wild speculation. So imma go with the first hand account on this.
