    As bad as the Houston are playing right now, they are not losing 4 straight games. Good luck Blazers.

    Is it fun being a fan that expects his team to lose constantly?

    Some just seem to expect adversity. I don't get it either?

    The homesite's lead up article to the game posted this pic today...I'd have to guess it's HCP's work if you notice Blurry Melo in the background

    But he is learning to open his eyes when the ball is around...it has been like a ball allergy for years...still M'tumbo butterfingered but makes his free throws...the great thing about Meyers is that he's a used player with very few miles on him....a bargain for the Wizards or Bulls...

    Of course, they're all having some great BBQ, they're playing in Texas.

    Oh, wait...

    Yes! :). Winning when you expect to lose is more satisfying than when you expected win!

    The algorithm needs adjusted again. This post has absolutely zero reason to be posted in a game thread about an upcoming game against the Houston Rockets.

    As mentioned, it's already been discussed in an appropriate thread.

    I was the first to post about that, years ago. I even had a theory--contact lenses.

    I also noticed that he often turned his back to rough action and even bent down to protect his head--after turning his back and shutting his eyes. People thought I was joking, but after a couple of years a few others said the same here. He finally stopped doing that 2-3 years ago.

    A warrior he is not!
    This is as old as the knights who used to joust. Most people will close their eyes or even slightly turn their head in the face of danger. The one who doesn't usually is the one who hits his mark. The same for gunfighters standing tall. The steady hand shooter could aim while someone else was shooting at them.
    Great shooters in basketball will hit a shot with a hand in their face. Great rebounders will keep there eye on the ball around the hoop. Same with a receiver in Football or a quarterback throwing a pass.
    Meyers has never kept his eyes open and has never been able to hit his shot under stress.

    Can I ask for a 10-game winning streak for Christmas?
