    You realize some people have lives outside of this forum, right? You really take this place THIS seriously? Stuff like this is why I'm not around this place anymore and don't end up responding in a timely enough manner to stop you from being angry. Its because everything is misery here.

    You're even making up narratives to be more miserable. "They got blown out by 4 NBA teams" but they lost by 5 against the Clippers and were right there with Utah before both teams yanked any meaningful players kept in the game. So that's not even true.

    You want to say "Dude really?" because I said the season hasnt started yet which is a fact? Okay, but don't complain about me reciprocating the condescension then.
    Since you care so much:


    Wasn't high on this team going into this year anyway. Maybe that's why I'm not having a meltdown over practice games that don't count.

    The opposite. I've built an audience because I say what I think and won't have an opinion for the sake of having it.

    Okay. Sorry to add to your misery. My life isn’t miserable and I try to have a good time here.
    I still don’t see a prediction?
    Not clicking on a link to some obscure site?
    How many games do you think they will win?
    If you prefer not to answer I’m fine with that as well.

    Except here. I simply asked for your prediction?

    It’s his own site and show. I am a patriarch. Check it out. Some good content. I wish i had more time to catch all their shows.

    My life isn't miserable either but the doomsday stuff here is.

    Youtube is an obscure site to you?
    Never been afraid to make my opinion known here either.

    He has posted three times but is unable to simply throw a number out there. Why would I click on his link if he can’t even make a prediction.
    Now if he said let’s just say”42 but if you want to know more about why you’ll have to listen to my show” I’d be all in. Instead he went all “This place sucks and is miserable so I’m gonna take my ball and go home” then threw in “ I actually have a life” like nobody here has one or is as important as he is. This is a nice group here. Some are a bit snippy but for the most part they are decent to each other.
    I was not out of line with him in any way. Just questioned his stance after 4 blowouts. Yeah they were blowouts. The Clippers played starters about 15 mins while the Blazers played starters 26-28 mins. Sure the score was not bad but they were playing 3rd string against our starters.

    Anyway too long a post as it is. Hope he finds somewhere less miserable.

    Hey @Semi-Erect, I want to tell a story about "I'm gonna take my ball and go home." Once, I was playing basketball at Wallace Park in NW (for some reason it used to be competitive and popular. Now? Not so much.). Anyhow, we finished up and a couple guys had to leave, one of which owned the game ball. So bye-bye ball. No worries, I'd brought one that some dudes were shooting with on the B court (not playing a game, just shooting). I said, "dudes, we need that ball for the next game." Guy says, "nah" and keeps shooting. Some other player on my team is like "come on! if you want to play, call next." blah blah blah...

    Finally, everyone is grumbling for the ball and the guy does the opposite of take-my-ball-and-go-home (and by opposite I don't mean he took my ball home). He dropped the ball, and before he left, he said: "I'm going home to get my gun. I'll be right back." He seemed pretty serious. No one said a thing and we all watched him jog away. Finally, one of the guys he was with was like: "He lives right there."

    We contemplated for like .9 (yep) seconds, then I took my ball and went home.

    Wild. I worked nearby for many years. Was a great scene for sure. Brutal story recently.

    Lol that's weird. I think you did the right thing.

    The only thing you could have done better was challenge him to a duel at Mt. Tabor.

    So many stories there, from cops walking across the courts with shotguns out to a body slam that left a guy with brain damage. That place could be bizarro with all those nice houses around. But then again NW was a little less nice back then.

    yeah, i took my dog to the dog park there recently and saw the memorial. Pretty sad stuff.

    Every time you guys mention Mt Tabor, I think of two things: making out with girls and taking mushrooms. NOT at the same time however.

    Up your production values. The graphics at the start of the videos are awesome. Then we go into your home with a mess behind you. Get a green screen and put cool graphics on it. Before you know it, NBATV will come callin.
