    Did you scroll down? Notice the playoff series with Phoenix? We made the playoffs being 9th? When did the rules change?

    9th best team. OVERALL. Did you notice how in his power rankings, he doesn't split it out to east and west. He had us 8th OVERALL. We were 9th. OVERALL. Whole NBA. That's not "hating" or having an east coast bias. It was accurate.

    Dude if you want to believe he doesn't have bias, then all the power to you. I read ESPN religiously (unfortunately) and I have never read them giving us any love for as long as I've been a Blazer fan. At least from what I've remembered. And I also read how they are extremely bias to Eastern Conference teams and Lakers. So you can try and reason with me all you want. I know what I read.

    LOL. Ok. He picked us 8th. How is that showing a bias? I like how when the link you provided doesn't show what you wanted it to(oh christ, use the damn search, as if you were so exasperated someone couldn't see how plain as day his bias was), you revert to well, I know he is because I know. I can try to reason with you, but what's the point when you your argument will revert to that? Sorry. I read the link you provided to show me how biased he was. I disagree with your findings on it. And he actually picked us higher than we finished that season.

    Yeah okay and that's why MM made the smart remark about blazer fans thinking he's an idiot right? Idiot for being fair to the Blazers?! I don't think so. Having MM say it so freely, knowing how he remembers most everything, doesn't hold much weight?

    Like I said, you can try and play Marc not being bias and scathing towards the Blazers. I know what I've read and I know how he used to treat us.

    I just wanted to take a quick second to point out how bad the Knicks and the Nets are. And how much I love it. That is all.

    Not even a little.

    Don't you get tired of people bashing national writers and telling everyone how useless they are until they say something positive about the Blazers? Then magically they are quote worthy

    Nope. And you know why? Because it's not really that big of a deal.

    Congrats on finding out that fans like it when someone talks good about their teams and don't like it when someone talks bad about their teams.

    And congrats on making the occurrence of it out to be a plague on S2, instead of just a few fans who point out occasionally factually inaccurate or intellectually and professionally lazy work by national reporters.

    Plus, it's Mags..who takes him seriously?

    ;) Mags...

    Not a big deal is right. You are the one that keeps asking why I care. Let it go

    Also, you seem to forget, I get bashed like it's no tomorrow when I post an article from someone other than Barrett that says anything but roses for the team. It's a huge double standard. The writers either know, or don't know what they are talking about. you can't have it both ways

    If you didn't care, you wouldn't bring it up often.

    Yeah, you get bashed all the time.

    You're the double standard king here.

    and you're right, you can't have it both ways. So don't act like it's not a big deal and then bring it up and then feign "what? it's not a big deal". It's not a big deal (to me) that the team shoots too many threes. So guess what?

    I don't bring it up. And when someone else brings it up or talks about it positively or negatively, I don't respond...because it's not a big deal to me. This is obviously a sticking point for you, because otherwise you wouldn't passively bring this shit up.

    You are responding to the poster, and not the post though.

    you are playing the victim, when you're not one.


    btw, we're allowed to respond to the poster, it's "attacking" the poster that we frown upon. No where did I attack you.
