Before the Durant injury the Warriors were looking like one of the all time best teams. They were destroying teams.
Durant is expected back by April 1. A Blazer victory would be the biggest upset in the first round....ever. I can't see it happening.

Even one victory would be a huge upset. 4 would be bigger than winning the championship! I love to hope, but I don't know...

Here is what happened:

A new member says that they're female.

MM decides to tell them a joke about a woman being sexually violated by her doctor. MM knows this is probably pushing the edge a little so he says if this is inappropriate let him know.

2 people flag the post.

I see the flags, then read the post and the posts it was in reply to.

I can see why it was it was flagged so I edit the post and did as MM asked by letting him know that it was inappropriate.

Not a big deal. MM isn't in danger of being banned.

2 people are sensitive enough to flag a post?

Also, in fairness, I would have told that joke whether it was a preceived male or female. I mean we really have no idea, and the forum shouldn't change its rules for race, religion or sex......IMO anyway.

And how is it even possible that we play the Warriors in the first round as an 8th see when the person who started this thread said we would finish AHEAD of them?

You have a point on that one. I have to agree with @TBpup that the forum isn't exactly family friendly. Kinda suprising to me, cosidering it is the Blazers "official" forum. Anyways, what were you saying @Chris Craig ? Lol

What was I saying? While this is not exactly a family friendly site, especially in the OT, I think there is a certain understanding we have with one another here. We may make post crazy memes and talk crap and make jokes, but usually we don't do so at the expense of others. (My jokes are usually at my own expense, or at least are some attempt at wit and humor) There is a certain respect here, though some are a little rough around the edges.
 
Just hope the Ducks don't draw Connecticut in the future. I just watched them steamroll Syracuse. Geno Auriemma's team is like a machine. Let Oregon State draw them instead.

They don't re-seed the tourney. UO is in Uconn's region. If the Ducks are able to get past Maryland on Saturday, a date with the Auriemma's awaits.

Lol. No bud, I was talking about the post of yours that was right before mine. The on-topic one.

To upset the Warriors we would have to control the tempo of the game. We'd have to play defense and slow them down a bit. If we play at their fast as hell tempo we'd would have a hard time keeping up. I think it would be a good series, and we'd wouldn't make it easy for them. Upsetting them is possible, look at Memphis upsetting the Spurs back in the day....If you believe, you put the work in, and leave it on the court anything is possible.

That was totally my bad for not stating that. (I do agree with all the stuff you said tho...) I was just trying to go back on topic....
:cheers:

Bro you honestly believe this? You honestly think we could beat GS even without KD? I'm just baffled by this. A fantastic example of team loyalty blinding ones common sense. #64Wins

He said they MAYBE have a CHANCE. That's why they play the games man. Never know what's going to happen.

Right. So, yeah let's control that tempo.

We play them pretty tough and IF Durant is out, the match ups are even tighter.

More than likely, someone is just be a bit upset that their favorite team, the lakers, won't make the playoffs.

Yeah, and they still had a chance up until about two games ago. Granted, they would have had to win every single game left, and about every other team would have had to lose every single game they had left. Meh, wasn't likely, but it was still possible..... Lol

Really?

So it's just some weird coincidence that as soon as someone said they were a girl, in direct reply to that post you decide that you would tell that particular joke? But it has nothing to do with them being a woman.

Uh huh.

Mrs. HCP had it last night
 
When it comes to the playoffs I don't give a damn about predictions....let it unfold and find out when the buzzer rings..I love playoff basketball and beating the Titans early means you don't have to play them later...it's all good! Great teams have melted down before!
