    Sorry, but I will defy Rastopopoulos

    I will post a Canzano article (and I hope this is the first time posted or i will feel really foolish), because I believe it is true the Blazers are broken and it is true Lillard must get his teammates more involved and it is true that somebody else besides Aldridge needs to show some fight.

    That prick smells a little blood and he just goes into a frenzy with every negative condescending angle he can puke out. It must of been horrible for little Johnny when the Blazers were doing well.

    It sounds like Johnny Carson in his role as Carnac the Magnificent, a repeating skit with Arab jokes. In the late 1960s, competing opposite NBC's Carson was ABC's Joey Bishop, whose most frequent guest was The Amazing Kreskin, a serious psychic. So Johnny hosted a 1-time guest, a comedian whose gig was to look serious while making funny predictions. The audience laughed, so a couple of weeks later, Johnny copied him, creating the Carnac character.

    "But believing that Blazers fans care more about this series than Blazers players is the saddest thought anywhere in the NBA." That appears to be the TRUTH.

    ++> His article is locker room wall material! Truth about how the fans want to win more than the team.

    I don't get writers sometimes. What do they want from the players after a playoff loss? excitement? Joking? Fun and games?
    I have zero issues with players taking playoff losses hard.
    I'd have an issue with players if they were "okay" with losing.

    I haven't seen any player on this team "okay" with losing.
    Even more reassuring knowing the loss effected the players that it seemed like the team was "broken" to the media.

    They're not happy about losing and they shouldn't be. The locker room shouldn't be the same after a playoff loss as it is in a win.
    There is a reason why the playoff format is the way it is.

    Exactly. LaMarcus was PISSED after each loss. None of the players were happy about it. They HAVE TO try to remain positive that they will get the next one. And they are saying the "right things". They don't need fucknob dicks like Canzano rubbing salt in their wounds, questioning their manhood, and trying to destroy team chemistry. That fucktard has never once in his life been in any situation as intense or difficult as what the Blazers players are going through. But he can stand on his soapbox and preach down to them with his condescending bullshit.

    Again: Anyone know a guy who knows a guy?

    Are you trying to arrange a hit on Canzano? Shame on you. Can I pitch in 50 bucks?
