    I'm excited for the third week of May..... that's usually when the draft lottery is, right?

    I know, right? He was holding the ball like a waiter holding a silver platter for the defense to feast on.

    Decided to turn the game off, not worth the frustration. Too bad season tickets are not refundable.

    " an enthusiastic devotee (as of a sport or a performing art) usually as a spectator"

    Enthusiastic devotee - to which he is given his years of watching the team.

    Again, it's fine. He can feel like that.

    Also, the reason I'm saying this is, my interest in the team right now is really low, too. I'm still listening to the game, albeit absentmindedly, since it's like "meh". if we win, that's great... but I can also see where not wanting to listen or care to watch can happen too. I don't see him as any less of a "fan" because he decided to not watch a game in January... or care. He's been a fan for decades - this team, this year, is leaving a lot of people with apathy - so I dont blame him... or them.

    I can just take them for you and tell people I had season tickets - I just wouldn't say which year. ;)

    Looks like 2017 is going to be just like 2016.

    RIP Blazers playoff hopes.

    CJ clearly can't run an offense.

    I wonder if Wheels is having a difficult time getting excited about calling this team lately? He'll never admit it on air or in interviews (or on here since I know he does read this) but I'm sure it's human to just go all "Major League" on this lol.
