    Is the question about actual age or how old they act? Asking for a friend.

    Totally agree.
    I actually had that conversation at one time on this board with a couple posters.
    It is what it is.

    This is pretty much spot on.

    I love Ropp too. Doesn't sugarcoat when the blazers actually suck. Breath of fresh air.

    I worked for Kenny Carr for a while. Not any longer though i would if he needs me. The things he told me would make your head spin. Changed the way i look at the game completely.

    I would think if a fan cared enough about X and O’s to go dig around YouTube, they would already know enough about X and O’s to not need to. Unless someone was out there who didn’t know basketball and wanted to learn something, ha

    1) I loved Kenny Carr. Loved him
    2) I’m not surprised at all as you can tell from my earlier post. The amount of misconceptions or flat out untruths that the majority of fans think or believe is funny. Not fans fault, at all. But annoying when know-it-alls like to act like they got it all figured out.

    Can we get back to talking about how this Blazer team (presently trailing the short-handed Rockets by 13) is the worst in recent memory?

    It took OT to beat a Rocket team with only 9 players, and no John Wall, no Boogie Cousins, and no Eric Gordon.

    My feelings are not assuaged.

    Wall hasn't played in 2 years. Ditto Boogie. Gordon is a bench player.

    He looked good in the preseason. So did Boogie. Are you going to pretend they couldn't have used them tonight?

    Probably could have used them, but they're just a bunch of famous names at this point, not impact players. So yes, the Blazers beat a short-handed Rockets team, but not a Rockets team missing a bunch of talent.

    I honestly think the way Harden was playing it would not have mattered tonight. He was something special for sure.

    Exactly. My opinion is that players who have not been useful, let alone great, players for quite some time are not particularly great now.

    Maybe they'll have career resurgences. But I suspect if Olshey had picked them up, you wouldn't be thrilled thinking that this is the best Blazers team of your lifetime.

    I still can’t believe we played Melo over Trent. Stotts will never win a championships as a Head coach.

    Maybe you didn't follow it, but they did look great in preseason. You cannot pretend they wouldn't help the Rockets that played with Tate, Nwaba, Brown and Thomas..
