    What are the other realists doing? I always considered you, Nikolokous and Natebishop3 to be generally similar in your takes. Perhaps voicing concerns while also recognizing publicly the wins and plays... It's seems like we're not seeing the humanity of your fandom... And if that's not your style, that's cool...

    I regret saying what I did. I shouldn't have. It's just hard to reconcile your takes with what I'm seeing on the court, and it's starting to look like stubbornness or negativity.

    No worries from me, I have real issues to deal with.

    Not sure what my takes have been that you are having trouble with though?

    I questioned why so many fans expected or thought we should lose to Chicago, Indiana, etc
    I said the Blazers were one of the best teams in the league right now

    I'd have to go back and look, but what did, or have I been saying?

    That seemed to me like you were calling us out for not screaming "10 and 0" when we were trying to be realistic, and then setting unrealistic expectations on the team that you could then point to saying "see, I told you they weren't that good."

    In short, it seemed like you were laying a trap for the homers ("lemming homers" as you've called us)

    It felt like a move MIXUM would pull.

    To be honest, I would much rather have all fandom blowing one trumpet. Maybe a parade is in order? The S2, love your man parade?

    Dude it's like every post you're trying to pick a fight! We know you have real issues, it's well documented. But don't be Debbie Downer! Have a great day I'm going to sleep!

    Wasn't trying to pick any fights. And literally no one in their right mind would pick that up from that post. I'm not sure it's me looking to argue or fight.

    1.) Milwaukee on the road (Win)
    2.) Chicago at home (Win)
    3.) golden state on the road (b2b) (Win...had it as a loss)
    4.) New York at home (Win)
    5.) Phoenix on the road (Loss)
    6.) Lakers on the road (Win)
    7.) Indiana at home (b2b) (Win)
    8.) OKC at home (had as a loss....didn't think they'd beat both Indy and OKC)
    9.) Utah at home (everyone has as a win)
    10.) Dallas at home (b2b) (should be a win)

    Of course we would like 9-1 and it would be an incredible run to beat Chicago, @ G-State, Indy, OKC and Dallas. Is that being greedy? Going into this stretch I would have been elated with 8-2 but now I want 9-1!

    HCP, shh...if you leave him alone for another two weeks, he'll probably let you amend the bet to #2-15. ;)

    You don't know how to take screen shots on your mac?

    Hit "command" + "shift" + 3
