Washington Post: "Trail Blazers plummet back into irrelevance"

"If you kids don't stop trolling, I'm going to turn this car around!"

 

Here's some cheese and crackers.

 

I wonder why you think I am whining?

I didnt say Eric was trolling. I just thought it was an asinine response

 

good article, but yes, I agree about the title.

Writers gonna write.
Editors gonna edit.

 

+1 The writer was accurate of the situation and quite "nice" in the tone by which he wrote! I'd much rather see a team starting over than one that is mediocre. The game is played to WIN the Finals, not to win 50 games in a season only to exit early in the playoffs. The Championship Blazers were a team assembled over a summer and the ABA dispersal draft - with only Bill Walton a familiar name. With teamwork and a great coach in Jack Ramsay, we pulled off the unthinkable...beating the dream-team 76'ers. I'm not counting on the same results this season, however I will cheer if I see teamwork, hustle, and a desire to WIN with this assembly of players. The microscope will be on Stotts at the end of the day. Can he keep these guys learning, growing and hungry? And it will take Lillard to emerge as the team leader. Is he mature enough to handle this role? Will he keep his teammates (and himself) positive after a stretch of consecutive losses? Time will tell. I'll happily cheer so long as they come to play! GO BLAZERS!!

 

Hell of a post.

 

Best post in sometime. Very Pragmatic.

 

I really appreciate posts like this

 

I wish I could like a thousand times

 

I just looked up "relevance" in the dictionary. Says it's something that has "no probative value". As I write this, I'm sitting in a dive bar on the Oregon coast. The young bartender here has the Blazer pinwheel tattooed on his right calf. Something tells me the Washington Post has a different definition of "relevance" than we do....

 

I went to Bend last weekend for the micro brew festival and was amazed how many Lillard jerseys were in the crowd

 

Thanks everyone. I come to the site often but rarely post. Been a member since 2008. Love the site - Love the Blazers!!

My favorite players have always been the unsung hero types - - the hustlers; from Bobby Gross, Kermit Washington, Brian Grant... to our most recent Wes Matthews. We'll need to find a new player that fits this mold. I'm curious if it might be an Ed Davis?

 

Oh dear. It's spelling, not grammar. And the I is far from the E on a cellphone.

 

I was thinking Amino or Leonard honestly. I think Leonard is poised to turn the corner defensively and be a terror. We already know he gives it his all on the court 100% of the time. If he does it smarter, he will look much like these types you mentioned... that I also am the most fond of that type of player.

 

Cool. I have it on my right calf too!

 

I thought it was interesting that Lillard mentioned Ed Davis and Mo Harkless as new guys he was excited to play with...Davis is definitely a sleeper talent

 

Could be. I have always loved Ed Davis, so I'm excited. I think Vonleh could be that guy, I think.

 

So keep coming back and posting. BC is just up the road so being a Blazer fan makes sense. And I personally think your "new player" is Moe Harkless.

 

So then literally nothing constructive to add? Just feeling bitchy today?

Just wanna point out stupid shit?

Ok, cell phone is two words, not one. Wow, this is fun.

 

Your first three sentences lack a subject, and the first even lacks a predicate. As for the last two, please refrain from starting sentences with interjections; it upsets my delicate stomach.
