You need to be smart in the draft. Doesn't mean you need to tank for the draft to be a perennial contender... OR a winner. The point some are(including you) trying to make is that champions are bred through their own lottery picks is it not? If this is the case then OKC is absolutely not the right team you want to spotlight to help solidify your stance.
We got Lillard at 6, McCollum at 10 and Crabbe at 31. That's being very smart. Our time to draft will has gone by and we've been successful. Now is when the trade comes along.
Only one team can win. While building towards that should always be the goal, any rational fan just wants the team to have a legit shot, and that team did
So (for clarification's sake), what exactly constitutes having a legit shot? Top 3 seed? Conference finals appearance?
you need to stop using the word rational. Its not helping your cause at all. I just want the team to have a legit shot, so therefore I am a rational fan. I've made many comments in the past that Id prefer an overall winning team even if we didn't win it all over tanking year after year for a one year potential run. You seem to be backtracking a bit now from Needing to tank to win it all, to now, need to tank to get into the lottery to have a legit shot... "Rationally anyhow"... You know what my rationality tells me? You are irrational and forever living in a doomed and blackened world when it comes to the Blazers. Now shall we take a poll to see who kinda agrees with me on that and who doesn't and if the majority agrees with me, we are still the irrational one and your the only one using common sense, so to speak right? Not all Homered out? Some people love to cut their nose off in spite of their face.... Keep telling everyone your the only rational fan, or most of us are irrational fans and see how far that gets you around here.....
I dont care how far it gets me. It's what I believe. We both want a championship. Some in here only want fans who think the way they do about everything.
Go on defense much? Feeling picked on by all of us irrational fans??? Its not about not agreeing. its your insistence that anyone who disagrees with you is wrong or "irrational" that is getting you heat. How can you not see that? You are entitled to have your own opinion and it should be respected... up until the moment you shit on others by telling them they are being irrational. lmao.....
Oh you mean like you when you tell every fan who disagrees with you that they are irrational? The mirror is in the bathroom bro.
So are you the pot or the kettle? People attack me all day for preceived irrationality and then, this shit happens. I gave an answer....a thoughtful one of what I believe. Then I get bashed for it. Then saying I got owned. It's just like, you know, my opinion, man
Your not being historically accurate though. You have pretty much considered Homers irrational from the moment I joined up.
I dont have the time or care enough to research, but do YOU know how many times you have called other fans irrational just today alone?
