Yep. Based on GS's excellent defender last year, I incorrectly predicted a defensive strugglele last night. Now I'm even more optimistic than I was before.
I figured I'd download the game and give it a watch after reading all of the gushing about what it might mean for the regular season. So far I'd say they look like they'll be fun to watch, but projecting any of this to an 82 games season? C'mon folks, be better than that.
had the Warriors played their scrubs, I'd agree but they played the championship roster big minutes and we outright beat them..how can that not be fun?
My my! Such fun to see such greeeat sport so early in the fall season! Dare I say these Blazers are so young and plucky????? INDEED!
Good question...... I want to say I won a bet last year with MAGS because I said 50-54 wins. Don't remember exactly though.
I don't remember trashing this team about the fan fest. I wouldn't hold a glorified scrimmage as a way to critique the team.
Nik, you know me. When people were on here saying we were heading to the finals, I was telling people to be realistic...... When people came on here and were shitting on our guys for only winning by 7 instead of 27, I called them out and told them a W is a W. I keep it real either way and these guys are blasting me for claiming we don't have much talent and won't make the playoffs. Curious why I'm getting drilled for calling it like myself and majority of the "experts" are saying.
The residual butthurt from Monsieur Batum leaving, is evidently still lingering, and is super transparent. I for one am really enjoying the refreshing change in style of play. All guys are hustling, playing energised defense, the offense is stagnating less and we have a deep roster. I'd much rather watch this group work hard on the court (towards improvement), than last years group just coast to mediocrity. This group has Pride in it's craft.
Because it's fun. I'm not one who gets too high or too low. Too much water under the bridge I guess. I follow the team for the excitement. I'm. Excited to watch the team grow over the next couple of years.
HCP, you probably feel persecuted right now. But don't worry. I'll handle it for you. This, too, shall pass. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'll manage your PR and you'll emerge smelling like a rose. Alright, I want everyone to back off. Nothing to see here. Move along. Get outta here. Yeah, I'm talking to you.
