    Wow a lot of Cj haters

    As far as shooting goes too, he had a cold start 0/7, that means that for the rest of the game he was damn near 50%! Step back from the ledge people!

    He’s still shooting 44% from the field and 41% from 3!

    Ps he’s not a PG he’s a SHOOOOOTING Guard!

    But you wouldn't give Dame the same excuses so your point is moot.

    On my favorite board, turbulence comes up sometimes.

    http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?action=recent

    Speaking of extreme turbulence, what was the Reynolds number for this game thread?

    What's the cause? Is air pressure higher near the cliff (because the cliff stops air movement), so the ball deflects off that mini-weather front into the lower pressure air farther from the cliff? They should have taken their video to a scientist, had him explain why, and added it to the video.

    The halftime entertainment in Atlanta was an acrobatic group called "Flip City".

    On the free stream from Atlanta, that crazy loud music made me rip off my headphones fast every timeout.

    You're good at finding that stuff.

    Yeah, I didn't enjoy the Atl music either. I think it was so loud to cover up their lack of a crowd.

    Now the Bulls looked like they had a decent sized crowd, but it was deathly silent, because everyone was hungover from New Years Eve.

    CJ played the first half like he was hungover. Maybe he necked a beer at halftime to smooth things out.

    Dame would of. There's no question. If that same exact thing happened, Dame would have learned after the first one.

    I know one of the reasons given is that there isn't 100% proof that GrandJury is Tunchi, even though some people believe it to be true. Whether it is true or not, you are asking Sly to walk down a very slippery slope that some of you i know enough about to know in the real world would riot against. Freedom of speech.

    Then there is that thing "innocent until proven guilty" and if Sly just start tossing the hammer down because it is assumed by the majority without concrete proof, what is to stop him or anyone from stretching those rules further and further to the popint that they don't even exist and people can be banned for whatever reason if they get Sly to do so, regardless of what is right or just or....

    VERY slippery slope you guys are complaining about Sly not wanting to go down. I wouldn't want to go down it if I were him either. Most who do crash and burn.

    There is a thought. Either mentally or internetally

    I honestly feel like I started or contributed a large portion of these conflicts with the drama I kept going with you.

    I know some of you were pretty hard at my side when I was trying to rip into HCP and you had no clue that I wasn't serious. I wonder if I had never been doing that would some of you maybe not be quite so harsh to each other around here?

    I went at HCP, because everything I had read and been told, he was of the thickest of skins and never took anything serious. I did not mean for it to turn into a forum battle royal. I meant it as an ongoing forum laugh to eat up the slow time... the feud between HCP and OB.

    Ive read several posters comment on how things used to be cooler and less fights and more understanding of each other. I truly hope I didn't contribute to the turning of some tide around here and if I did, I really did not mean to do so.

    We all need to remember what is important in our lives, and I can GUARANTEE you, it isn't ANYTHING ANYONE types in ANY of these Blazers threads.


    I question that. Read above...


    Eric, Torey? Ive met both of you guys man. Both cool dudes. You two need to come together on what you have in common and stop bickering about other things. You both want the Blazers to win. You both differ on how much they will win. Agree to disagree and move on and just root for them to win as much as possible and who cares who is right or wrong about who thinks who is good or not? We ALL want them ALL to be good don't we? whether they are or not, or even have the potential to be.

    I'm not saying we need unicorns and rainbows around here, but there is a NO point in arguing about how much better or worse we think the team is than the next forum poster. There is no right answer. Stats are ever changing based on the next game and streaks. So just come together on what we want that is common and stop bickering about opinionated differences my friends. Trust me. You will both enjoy this place SOOO much more. And so will most others. :O)
