    The original post was difficult to parse with BF's inline comments combined the author's own words and his parenthetical comments. I think those critiquing her post were just letting her know that a different format may make it more readable.

    I actually clicked on the link to read the unmodified original and then came back to her post to read her comments. That worked, but I think just quoting the original, followed by her comments would have been easier to parse. I'm not suggesting she dumb down her commentary, just present it in a format others will find easier to read (like Natebisho3, I prefer the tags - helps break things up into easy digested thought bites). The whole point of starting a thread is to present your opinions an solicit others to respond, whether they agree or disagree. That's the lifeblood of online discussion groups. So, the more people read your post, the richer the ensuing discussion.

    Personally, I think it's going to come down to Stotts and Vogel. And, while I will be pulling for Stotts, I think if the Pacers end up with the best record in the league, COY will go to Vogel. I've liked him ever since the Pacers lost to the Bulls in the first round three years ago. I loved the way the Pacers played team ball at both ends of the court and Vogel and Thibs both gave great, insightful post game interviews during that series.

    I think Stotts should get it and Stotts will get it. Pretty much all of the voters though Portland would completely suck. They're going to cover their a$$ by saying they underestimated Stotts, not misread the Blazers talent.

    I think the award is Stotts to lose. The Blazers were a projected 40-45 win team before the year began and now likely to win at least 50 games. Indiana was projected as the number 2 team in the east so I think that should hurt Vogel a bit. Now Hornacek should get a lot of credit for what he has done but it will depend heavily on how his team finished in comparison to Portland.

    Oh, I know. lol Just like the few that out outraged by my amusing commentary.

    It's just funny to me that we're 45% into the season and the same dumb, generic qualifiers are being regurgitated like it was hot off the presses. The only thing Matt wrote that people might not know on this forum was the synergy stat. Other wise, it's the same recycled stuff we've know for months, BUT WITH A 9.3 RANKING!!!!

    The link is there for people who wanted to read it. Some people enjoy that stuff. I only enjoyed poking a bit of fun at it. Win/win. ;)

    It's all good. lol I just wish people had something entertaining to respond with. Have you ever noticed those the provide the least complimentary content and/or comments about the Blazers are the ones that respond most often, and are most critical of my posts? If only it were a coincidence. ;) I fixed my quips to stand apart from the article just for you. ENJOY!

    Is this and official announcement, or do I have to wait for the Sunday paper?

    And, what are 2 things that you like about Stotts (a season and 45% into his contract) that you were not sure if he could do when he was hired?

    I'm critical of everyone's posts because I'm jealous that I didn't think to post it first.

    Much better with the bold fonts...when I read this I hear it through the voices of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on the old weekend update segment of SNL!

    :( I screwed up I guess, but I fixed it, maybe. lol

    I agree, it's going to be Vogul or Stotts, and I have to give Stotts the nod if they stat within the top 3-4 of the lead out West, just because Indiana was already there last year and Portland wasn't suppose to make the playoffs (according to everyone who votes for CoY... save for Stotts if he has a vote).
    Horn-e-sek (forgot how to spell it) did and amazing job, but he's the "honorable mention"

    The awards are called Golden Globe. Golden Globes are breasts with no tan lines.

    Young fat guys have tits too. I was checking one out today. He kept standing in the bus aisle so he wouldn't hog 2 seats. Unselfish.
