    My dad has a saying he loves to use that fits in great for this thread
    "against stupidity even the gods are helpless".

    Were you happy when LA was here wanting everything to go through him? LA was Pacca but leaving a place where he was King because he believed the grass would be greener in the country of Texas because he was naturally greedy and look what happened to him now. Sad.

    Actually it is an aesop’s fable.

    My grandmother used to read me those stories when I was a little kid.

    That is the one I never forgot for some reason and always go back to when I feel jealousy or greed.
    It’s sctually helped me a lot in life.

    Obviously I changed it quite a bit, nor remembering the word for word story, but the message is loud and clear in my mind.

    Best Blazer point guard of All-Time and you are tired of him. Maybe you should wait till we find someone better before ever posting again.

    At the end of the season after another 1st round exit: "hey, it was only our full first year with Nurkic, we will be better"

    After another 1st round exit: "hey, it was only Caleb Swanigan 2nd year in the league, we will be better"

    After another 1st round exit: "hey, it was only the first season in which Zach Collins started, we will be better"

    5 years later with Lillard 32 years old: "Dame still got snubbed from the ASG, only here in Portland we appreciate his true value, who cares if we lost another series of playoffs, Dame won his 3rd Magic Johnson award!!!!"

    After you stop posting:
    "Thank God, I couldn't stand that guy!"

    Truth hurts, I know, it's easier to make fun of someone who's trying to analyze things as they are than admit that this team is stuck in mediocrity and that there's no room to dream like we would like to do because that is what sports are about.

    What is your qualifications for dropping knowledge on me?! Youre really acting like you are enlightened compared to people on here who have played basketball at a high level??? You don't know how to analyze a pile of shit, let alone the game of basketball.

    Playing basketball at a high level doesn't always translate to knowing basketball, and I'm not necessarily referring to you.

    You do realize they have made the second round 2 of the last 4 years right?

    The only "signature" win of this Blazers era was the one vs Houston after that they got blown out by the Spurs, the Grizzlies and the Warriors.

    The one against the Clippers is ridiculous, they were without Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.

    We were never and i mean NEVER really close to a championship.
    There's only 1 champion every year but you have at least to be in the conversation for the trophy, something we weren't in the past years, we have always been 1st or 2nd round material depending on the matchup or injuries so basketball purgatory.

    I have NO problem with the truth, but what are you saying? Are just putting Dame on blast just to stir shit up? It isn't/won't be HIS fault that we don't advance or win a championship. It would be because the lack of talent around him. Explain what's your point?

    This guys post are bugging me, but in all fairness, you have brought up that you played basketball at a "high level"......sorry but that doesn't translate really. I've been around NBA players that don't know shit about the game, they can dunk, but they don't understand it.
