    Yeah. They are doing the same thing Tebows doing... searching for where the hell his career went.

    That is hilarious, especially the Suns response. And it's pretty clear to me the ESPN folks think it's amusing (including a video of their own analysts talking about how bad the east is).

    The Blazers aren't being cocky, quite the opposite - they're saying in the western conference they're still not 100% they'll make the play offs but if they were in the eastern conference they'd have already almost clinched home court advantage.

    People taking offense seriously need to chill. :wacko:

    I agree with MM, someone could get fired over this. I'd really like to know what HCP thinks on this.

    David Aldridge retweeted it much earlier today and called it the "tweet of the week." I know I laughed.


    Clearly somebody must pay.

    I like this. It's funny and harmless. I wouldn't care if the roles were reversed. I like the Suns response too. Slow news day?

    No they're saying another team would like to be in the East. They were "asking for a friend". That's why Phoenix responded. Pretty funny actually.

    Stupid tweet by Casey considering it was from the official account. Nothing to write an article over though

    Pretty much how I see it. Its funny as hell and if the east teams want to get all upset over it maybe they can start having playoff teams without losing records more then once a decade.

    If those teams have problems, then maybe they should take pride in winning... Their pathetic tank jobs are laughable

    The easts been a joke for years after the top few teams. They constantly have one or two teams under .500 who make the playoffs.

    Pretty sure Casey doesn't tweet on that account. I know my former Season Ticket Rep was one of several people who provided content for @trailblazers. I'm pretty sure @CHoldahl is the only twitter account that Casey uses...

    I thought he handled both the official one and his own (@CHold). NVM. Sorry!

    Who gives a fuck?! The east does suck and the 11th place west team would be 5th in the west. If I was a fan of one of those teams, I would be deeply embarrassed! They should be called out.

    Tell you what east coast... How about you take it out on the Blazers? Oh yeah that's right you are 0-8 against us. Most likely 0-300 to all west coast teams

    It's wasn't a smart thing to do on blazers part. Bulletin board material when we play east. Really dumb.
