Injury Excuse Propaganda

not so sure of that. But Ill admit my tornado analogy was about as far off as saying if the wind blows in another direction we are screwed.

 

I believe part of its injuries, but maybe the Blazers just suck. No talent, not great coaching, their 2nd and 3rd best players belong on a good teams bench. Melo is also terrible. Getting healthy will help, but a full on roster and coaching overhaul is probably the way to go. Glad last year was fun, but they’re a bad team right now. Whether they’re held accountable or not.
I stopped expecting wins about a month ago and its made the season way better.

 

I think that Nurk has a better fit with Dame, in particular, but I won't argue with your overall assessment that simply swapping those players makes a large difference in the record, all other things being equal. My point, however, relates to the indisputable fact that the Blazers are in desperate need of healthy big men. Adding Nurk to the existing lineup would have a huge impact. Olshey may or may not plan on eventually trading Hassan, but certainly wouldn't do it as long as the Blazers remain in the playoff hunt (at the very least until either Labissier or Collins returns) unless it's a swap for another big (Kevin Love?). If Nurk can't return until February and the losing continues through January, it's all academic anyway. At that point the season is totally lost and all attention turns to the draft and moves for next season.

 

Did you read my post? You were previously claiming that injuries should not be an excuse. Now, you're making the excuse that the Warriors injuries should be an excuse. That's exactly what I was saying. Of course, a hangnail doesn't count as much as a compound fracture. Duh.

 

Hot take... Neil O. Shyster and Orion Bailey are the same poster. Just another prank, y’all.

 

Is there a way to block or ignore people on this forum? I know other platforms allow you to block posts from people you don’t want to see.

 

Thank you!

 

You taking all the heat? Works for me.

 

I disagree with your summation.
You've got to have a passable team along with two stars. This means that you'd better have a bench.

 

If there's anything I can't stand it's a whiner.

 

It starts with that and then it continues with a weak bench.

 

I need popcorn when I read some of these posts. You do one good thing, you bring a smile to my face.

 

Here's a post I enjoy reading although I disagree with it. This is the way we should all be posting.
Good job, TorturedBlazerFan.

 

Cold as Ice my friend. LOL. I wish I had that type of creativity. Besides, my joking days here are all but over considering how real some things got over the last couple months.

IF I was him,. I would totally admit it and let you know you nailed it, but unfortunately you are wrong. I think he is Tunchi, or half a dozen other handles he has created over the last couple years.

Seriously. I would create such fake drama around here because I know how annoying it can be.

 

I had a weak bench last season too. Yes, it might be a bit weaker at this moment but our performance shouldn't be this bad. I have been quite masterful in making this team much worse than the sum of its parts.

 

Not weak like this year. I would rate our bench as the weakest in the NBA except for Simmons. Of course, the bench will improve dramatically with the return of our injured players.

 

Don't know what this means.

 

Be honest, how many games have you been to this year?

 

Last year: Aminu and Harkless would not be starting on a contender.

This year: CJ and Whiteside would not be starting on a good team.
