The only problem I have is Mixum you put little to no effort to having an actual discussion with people. You say your "peace" and tell everyone they are wrong. I would just hope you would you put an effort into actually having a discussion with people but you dont. I havent posted with many of you for very long as I was at O-Live for years, but it seems like you have built a reputation with people, so why not work towards building a better relationship with them now? If everyone put in the effort (not just you, or not just them) then this place would be a hell of a lot more enjoyable. And subsequently a hell of a lot easier for those who mod this forum to actually do their job. I dont know if I should type this as a mod, but since I dont mod this forum I figured it would be ok lol.
Thanks for the moderation and administration guys but your talking to him as if he cares about anything else but trolling
What exactly did you say? Looks to me like you just posted other people's doom and gloom and stated you had a bad feeling. What exactly IS going to happen MIXUM? So WHEN you are wrong I can throw it in your trolly little face.
this is what I'm talking about. Who cares??? Always trying to point out about being right all the time. You said your peace and leave it at that. No need for the "I told you so" or "you'll see" You are calling the general fan here dumb or a homer, so naturally those who feel the need to defend themselves and take exception to feeling included in a sweeping statement of being called dumb, will feel the urge to attack you back. I promise you, if you cut back on that garbage, that the attacks on you will cut back as well.
some predictions.... blazers get off to horrible start oden doesnt play 30 games roy has a serious injury no major trades that improve us batum has best season of any blazer babbits shooting wins us at least 2 games blazers miss the playoffs
The only part of the Quick article I found odd was Brandon saying "I thought we had two really good practices these last couple days to get our offense flowing." Talk about an oxy-moron. Here is to all but 2 of Mixum's predictions to come true
Always good to see "fans" rooting against the team. But that's not trolling. Pssh. pathetic. I know I know. Put him on ignore. whatever. Allow one person to dominate a forum with his bullshit. Excellent job.
blazers get off to horrible start - What constitutes as a horrible start? Through the first 10 games, and under .500? oden doesnt play 30 games - Pretty straight forward. Ok. roy has a serious injury - Serious how? Misses how many games you think? no major trades that improve us - A blockbuster? Or just a simple trade that improves one position? What do you propose? What are our positional needs in your opinion? batum has best season of any blazer - In what sense? It's virtually impossible that he will lead the team is scoring. We do have a 3-time All Star on our team you know? babbits shooting wins us at least 2 games - Vague, but I guess that works. blazers miss the playoffs - You will be wrong about this one like you were last year. You seem like a betting man, so I propose a little wager. Nothing too fancy, just that WHEN you are wrong about the majority of these predictions (at least 4 out of the 7), I want you to post something in your signature. I get to pick what it is, and if you are right about the majority, I will post something in my sig, and you get to choose what it is? Sound like a deal?
they are tough predictions... i know. im sorry but this is my forecast. really think the blazers are in for a brutal season. roys comments above confirm this
I have said this before. I believe that there is a storm cloud from last season still hanging over the Portland fans. This is effecting how people feel about the team, team chemistry, team depth, coaching, every aspect of the team has the shadow of this storm cloud over it. With the emotional roller coaster the fans have been lead through over the last 8 years, it is no surprise. When you top it off with the pumping sunshine up your ass that KP brought along with it, it is no wonder fans expectations were through the ceiling. When those expectations weren't met a lot of people didn't like it, and they still haven't got over it. For me personally, in order to start enjoying basketball again, I had to do something I didn't want to do. I lowered my expectations of the team. But since then I have enjoyed basketball much more again. The days when Greg Oden was coming in as a draft pick and hopes were exponentially high are gone. But maybe that is a good thing.
if im wrong about 4 of 7...... i will post mixum was 100% wrong about the 2010-2011 season as my sig for a year now i will clearify the predictions.... horrible start... after 20 games the blazers are at or under 10 wins roy misses 20 + games with same injury or a nagging one no major trades that drastically IMPROVE us. example... miller, pryz, 1st rounder for devin harris. thats a big trade batums numbers increase across board or at least a career year blazers miss playoffs babbit makes some big shots to win us a few games or has 15+ oden is a slam dunk not to play 30.... so theres your bet...
Hmmm. I definitely want to do this bet, but the predictions on Batum and Babbit are pretty vague. And if you are wrong about some of these predictions, we wont need to make a trade that drastically improves us. Btw, what would I need to post in my signature? The opposite of your statement?
