Blazers this year could be the Denver Broncos of the NBA

I would listen to your podcast if your posts on here had a semblance of reasoning. However, without seeing that here, you make it difficult to want to tune in to hear more of the same outlandish takes.
Just food for thought…

Another dude with a podcast that thinks he knows everything? Go Figure?

You guys take his posts way to seriously. Far more seriously than he means them.

He should make a point to state his posts are jokes then. I mean im an optimistic fan too, but his takes are really out there and he doubles down on them. How are we supposed to know he isn't serious if he doesn't say so? At least once in a while?
 
Does anyone think they know for sure how good or bad the Blazers will be? If you do, bet a ton of money on your prediction and post that bet here. I would like to see how confident people are in their opinions.

You must not be married with 2 kids heading or in college with two car payments and a mortgage.

I didn't see it as defending the posts, but rather defending somebody he knows and a poster's right to extreme hyperbole and parody

Bro he’s been trying to defend that dude for YEARS. Isn’t he the one with “show” with him? That would explain it.
 
Serious question:
Who's our backup C? Grant, Watford, or somebody else?

And you continuously defend said posts constantly. Far more than you should.

How was I defending his post? I don't want to ruin it, but he's fucking with you guys. He's a bit more realistic and pragmatic in real life...though he is very optimistic.

Back to my point though. So, what if his posts are out past optimism in the milky way. Why does it chap your guys asses so much?

if a poster has the right to extreme hyperbole(which i agree they should),
Other posters have the right to push back on it.

True. It just seems unnecessary. It seems like overreaction to it, like the reactions he is getting are as out there as you guys claim his aggrandizement is.

Doesn't chap my ass at all. Does make it hard to have a realistic convo though.
I would expect pushback if i posted such outlandish things. I expect pushback for my Sharpe predictions.
Whether serious or inflated, what he says often deserve some scrutiny from other like minded fans.
And honestly, if he has an issue with the pushback, he can always use green font or what not. Its a two way street.
Posting outlandish takes will incite outlandish responses.
He should own what he posts more. Like right now.

Thats the point. He should be able to take what he gives. :) if he wants to troll with hot takes then he should be fine with the backlash, no?

There are plenty of people here to have a conversation with. If you don't like what he is saying don't respond.

I guess I just don't get the outlandish responses. People getting angry at it...why? When I read his posts being overly optimistic I don't see issue with that. I know he's just being silly. I don't take it seriously. I'm a little superstitious when it comes to the Blazers, so I'm not gonna knock it.

On the podcast there is optimism but there is also the realistic. I appreciate his optimism. Sometimes I go with it. When the season isn't going well, it brings me up. He always sees the positives, even if it doesn't seem like there isn't any, but also like you and me and everyone else here feels the ups and downs.
