    FYI: Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday morning, 2:00 AM.

    So on Sunday 2:00 AM, set your clock back to 1:00 AM, or set your clock an hour before you sleep on Saturday night.    ​

    Integrating new players takes time so I don't think our record would be much different right now, but over the long haul I think we'd be much better off with him than without him.

    Man it pisses me off we didn’t get George. Seeing that picture of him in a Thunders uniform really burns me.

    Blazers at home can beat this team. They are better than their record. Put pressure on George and Melo and let Westbrook try to take the game over. Same recipe as when Durant was there.

    Barkley was right. The Blazers are no better than a middle of the road team. Offensively they can hang with just about anyone but the D sucks. Lillard and McCollum leading the way are fun to watch but together they will never win a championship.

    You think Melo is going to be excited for his big return to P-Town?

    Barkley said "They should be better". I agree this is right. This team is better and will begin to click.

    I can see us taking this loss. We don't have enough talent to shut down their offense and/or limit them to just Westbrook. And last year, with a crappy team around him, Westbrook scored 58 points on us.

    This is NOT the same crappy Thunder team of last year. They ARE better than their record suggests.

    I don't expect an L, but I'm prepared for it.

    Here we go.... You think for a second you can get the Homer Glasses off the IRONMAN? I say come and get em! KJIRONMAN will never and i mean NEVER give up his HOMER GLASSES! How the heck do you expect me to find my glass of kool aid without my homer glasses? And once more do you really think i step into Blazer reality just because you think your take on what Barkley said was better than mine?


    I hope that explains my fandom well enough. Peace my friend. We all bleed red and black.
