For the fans holding back, like me: Will a win over Miami finally sell you?

If you can't enjoy what's going on right now, somethings wrong with you.

 

Ummmmmmm ...... wtf are you talking about? I guess Im going to assume you misunderstood me and/or know nothing about me. I have been a Blazers fan for over 30 years so Im pretty sure that if I havent left by now it isnt going to happen.

Im not holding back from supporting this team. Im enjoying it. I was simply saying what I WANT to see if full effort in those games. Go back and read my post again. I never even said anything about leaving or anything like that so I have no idea where that came from. Im sorry if expecting full effort against other elite teams is too much.

 

There is a difference between "believing" and "enjoying".

You can enjoy watching your team win even if you consider them underdogs! There is too much water under the bridge for me to "believe" in this team...but I will enjoy each win as it comes.

 

Bingo. My feelings exactly.

 

Exactly. It's almost like some people want to enjoy playoff success in December. It's December. It's the regular season. The team is having a successful regular season, so far. I'm have a great time as a fan, right now. WTF is with worrying about the playoffs? Right now, I'm sold on the regular season and have hopes for the playoffs.

I wonder how many people here read the last page of a book before deciding if they want to read it all the way through?

 

I google movie plots before watching.

OMFG. I absolutely detest movie trailers that show every plot twist in the entire movie, in the advertisement for the movie. Pisses me off like nothing else.

 

Can't stand the posters that discount what we're doing now because of what they guess we'll do in the playoffs . Can't stand the guy who is predicting injuries and saying we're mediocre. What a sad little man.

greatest website ever. saves me the time to not watch crappy movies.

 

Its not discounting everything. Its great to watch the team and they are exciting, but the only measure of success is playoff success. People are getting a little big for their britches. Its great to be happy and shit, but when we have people thinking about finals matchups and crap like that right now, its getting a little ahead of ourselves.

If there's anything I've learned in being a Blazers fan its to stay humble until you win the Larry O'Brien. Big cockiness only leads to big butthurt later.

We hold back until we get over that hump. The goal isn't "have the best record in the league 30 games in". Its to complete the season and get past the first round.

"Its a process".

 

Kingspeed that was an awesome post u made in this thread!

Lol I see what u did there my friend!

 

Just some food for thought. If we had lost those other five games you we could have, the team's record would be 19-10. That would be good enough for third in the west and fifth in the league. Still nothing to sneeze at, imo.

Go Blazers

 

I've tried to say this very thing three times, but wasn't able. You encapsulated my thoughts perfectly.

It's probably because it doesn't make sense as a real fan of the Blazers. Things we don't believe in are referred to as fantasy. While we can enjoy something we don't believe in, you must also accept that the Blazers 24-5 record is a fantasy. Can you be a "fan" of the Hobbit movies? Sure. Does calling yourself a real Blazers fan while not believing in the Blazers (a real team experiencing real success) make sense to y'all? What is the point in calling them "your team" when you don't believe in them? What's the connection?

 

Things are getting kinda weird in here.

 

Hard to take anything you say seriously after your posts about Tony Parker and Chris Paul.

You are in a manic state right now, IMO. I hope you are ok.

 

I've been concerned about your brain cancer affecting your posts... Now I guess I have my answer.

Seriously, though... concern-trolling another guy's health issue? Kinda low.

 

Oh heavens no. I am sincere. I have sent IMs as well to Eric.


As for me, the drugs and herbs have way more to do with my posts than the tumor
