    Which is exactly why I don't want to see any Blazer take a shot intending to draw a whistle. We fuck ourselves by assuming that the refs are going to call the fouls and just flinging the ball at the basket hoping for FTs. In the playoffs, we need to intend to make every shot we take.

    I'm not surprised. There's help out there though.

    Just make sure you take Lilliard with you.

    Dude must be struggling big time emotionally right now.

    Thinking he's going up against Lin.

    Only to realise he'll be back against the Wolverine. You remember him don't you guys?

    Beverley had a cry to the media after the last game because the refs didn't coddle him.

    It hurts. I know. I'm sorry for you guys.

    I couldn't get the embedding to work properly. It was a clip of George Takei saying his trademark "oh my"

    I tried to decipher what you meant.

    Because 'it's now to have a new forum chew toy' doesn't make sense.

    Just like the Blazers in the second round.

    Perhaps you shouldn't have had a second helping of paint chips.

    That's quite easy.

    McGrady > Harden > Francis

    McGrady in his prime is much better then Harden now.

    But it will 100% finish Harden > McGrady > Francis.

    I understand just by having a look through this thread that Blazer fans aren't the most knowledgable people to talk to in relation to basketball. So if you have anymore NBA specific questions feel free to ask.

    Another simple one would be how many championships is better? 2 or 0?

    well thats a REALLY simple one, 2 is larger than 0, but it depends on what kind of championships we are talking about. like "championship of stuffing broken razor blades in your peehole" or "championship of festering herpe sore eating", those would be bad to have championships in.

    but im not sure how this applies to the blazer board, you being houstons own foremost connoisseur of basketball related trivialities, you must know that the blazers own a championship of their own. so im trying to decipher that.

    You tell me, I'm still trying to figure out what this round orange thing everyone keeps trying to get rid of is.

    You might be referring to a basketball.

    Don't worry your players won't be touching one for a few months in a couple of weeks.

    Amazing. That someone doesn't know that the poverty franchise has a championship. learn something new everyday about cess pools.

    So by your theory of winning percentage. Portland could go 82-0 in the regular season and get swept in the first round.

    Meanwhile a team sneaks into the playoffs in the 8th spot at 41-41 (a full 41 games behind your portland trailblazers) and wins the championship.

    Better winning percentage = more successful team.

    no thanks jeff
