    I love how the Lakers one says back to back champions on the picture caption.

    How hard is it to release a schedule saying all games cancelled?

    I think this is similiar to what tech companies refer to as a "paper" release, wherein they produce a piece of hardware, but it's actually not commercially available.

    Then again, it'll be nice to have something I can print out and use a red marker to 'X' out games as they fall off the schedule due to cancellation.

    Give us an absolutley brutal schedule in the first 3 or so months and when play resumes again in February give us all the cupcake teams like Minnesota and Cleveland! First seed would then be ours and on the road to the championship!

    Oh, I like the way you think! Combine that with the extra rest our walking wounded will get and I see our Blazers sweeping the play offs.

    The last time there was a lockout they redid the schedule and I remember Portland even having a few 3 games in 3 days which were brutal.

    Even if we win a championship next season, the majority on here would complain that it shouldn't count cause we had a shortened season.

    Nah, it just means we'd have a shortened championship parade.

    That is something a lot of Laker fans did to taunt the Spur fans after 1999. But once the Spurs won their 2nd, 3rd and 4th titles, they kind of stopped. So, if Portland ends up winning next year (yeah, I almost can say that with a straight face) they must win 3 of the next 8 titles (or whatever the ratio is).

    Actually man they do. You heard it a lot, until they won a couple more times. I still read it some places.

    I guess you're right.

    I dont care, I'll take a Championship anyway I can get. If it happens everybody can drink their haterade while the city goes nuts. There's no asterisk next to it. A ring is a ring.

    I'm with you here a title is a title. It isn't like one team has a distinct advantage over the other. It is all on an even playing field. Sure the cupcake schedule may play have a role in earning a playoff berth, but a team still has to beat four other teams in the playoffs to be crowned champion. I don't see how it shouldn't count just because the season is shorter, but as you said, if we were to somehow win, let them haters hate while we would have a huge celebration.

    As a season ticket holder, I am for having cupcakes scheduled on the road. At home, I would like both Laker games, Miami, Boston, and the other teams that draw fans.

    And a title is a title. I would settle for a second round playoff match though.

    I like how the team is handling it like it's business as usual, but there is no fucking way the season is going to start on time unless the owners completely cave. The players have to give back because the owners have conceded too much in past negotiations
