Today I first listened to NBA Lockdown with Bruce Bowen, they didn't even say the word Blazers once. Not a single mention in the entire show of a surprising feel good team that has 10 wins in a row and second in the West, third in the NBA. A team that everyone kept saying they would wait till the Blazers played tougher competition, and now when we do, silence. Just no damned respect. Then, listening to The Starters podcast, they touch on the Blazers very briefly, but all agreed that this still doesn't move the Blazers into the upper echelon of the west in their eyes. No god damned respect.
What did you expect from a Spurs fan when SA's only loss was at the hand of the Blazers? They guy wears a bow tie. I can't take him seriously.
We're invisible. On Lakersground, they listed the top 10 teams in the West just a few days ago and they didn't even list us. It's crazy. We are way under the radar right now.
NBA Lockdown did an entire segment on the Blazers after we had won six in a row. Bowen was quite complimentary.
I actually like the disrespect. I'm worried about Marc Stein giving us mad props. I want our team to feel like they have to keep proving people wrong. It's better for this team's chemistry.
LOL Too easy huh? I wonder, does Mediocre Man have any thoughts of his own? "Mediocre". I get it now. LOL
Cool. How long have you been in it? I am krav maga mom, going on 6 years now. I would be happy to see your exhibition.
Despite his recently dour demeanor, MM's actually a pretty knowledgeable guy who has in the past proven out his claims. He's prickly and likes to push the buttons of homers for fun, but he's got some smart analysis in him.
It doesn't matter how complimentary the national media is. Unless it's a parade of "knob polishing" and big fuck-off splashy articles all over ESPN, then it's "We get no respect."
Mocking a poster for mocking other posters? *swoon* I have the vapours, good sir! How about you start talking basketball instead of class-warfare among internet posters?
So just how far up his ass is your head? Serious question. The irony of your grievance is that you are crying foul while being guilty of the same. Cry me a river and build me an arc. I'll get to work on the manifest.
I agree to some extent. The fact is, and Stotts hit on this, Portland hasn't proven anything yet. Just keep winning and all this stuff has a way of working itself out.
