Blazers getting way too cocky

[Mediocre Man]

It was a silly twit tweet. Not worth caring about.

Yet ESPN did care enough.

 

[Mediocre Man]

i'd bet that doesn't happen

I hope it doesn't

 

[BBert]

Of course ESPN repeated it. I'm pretty sure the 'S' stands for "smartass". A diss like that is right in their wheelhouse.

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm REALLY surprised it made it to the front page of ESPN though.... seems like such a non-story.

 

[BBert]

It's not like there is some tangible entity that is going to be offended. Is the "eastern conference" going to be mad at us now? Did the twitter hurt it's feelings? Is the 'eastern conference' a thing?

It was an extremely lame, predictable, and unfunny joke. Which is why I suspect Holdahl.

How long have they been beating Tebow's dead corpse?

Well it's a day the NFL doesn't play, therefore I wouldn't be surprised if we heard that Lebron ate a slighty cold piece of hot dog.

I hadn't really heard much about Tebow this season.

 

[santeesioux]

I hadn't really heard much about Tebow this season.

I believe they were just saying yesterday that he was the most searched for athlete of the year, only media outlet i noticed saying that.

Damn, why all the Holdahl hate? He's a really nice guy and pretty damn funny. You ever meet him in person?

Yeah. They are doing the same thing Tebows doing... searching for where the hell his career went.

 

[Natebishop3]

Silly ESPN... they think that was bad?

That is hilarious, especially the Suns response. And it's pretty clear to me the ESPN folks think it's amusing (including a video of their own analysts talking about how bad the east is).

The Blazers aren't being cocky, quite the opposite - they're saying in the western conference they're still not 100% they'll make the play offs but if they were in the eastern conference they'd have already almost clinched home court advantage.

People taking offense seriously need to chill.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

I agree with MM, someone could get fired over this. I'd really like to know what HCP thinks on this.

 

[Nikolokolus]

David Aldridge retweeted it much earlier today and called it the "tweet of the week." I know I laughed.


Clearly somebody must pay.

 

[BBert]

Nope.

Haven't seen you much lately Sly. Did you get a job or something?

 

[BlazerWookee]

I think if the Blazers are willing to have this board and all of the weird shit said on it linked to their official webpage, they're not going to care about a tiny little joke on twitter. Just my opinion. People are so sensitive to tiny jokes that hurt nobody. This is why we can't have nice things.

Professional Hypersensitivity is quite a lucrative profession...

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

"way too cocky"... serious? It's meant to be funny. And its no secret the east is pathetic. TWO winning teams?!?!

I think it was totally harmless, but this is the age of internet and people love to get worked up over nothing. You know the next time we play a team from the east, this crap will come up, and if we lose they will say it's because we bashed the eastern conference.

 

[Sedatedfork]

I like this. It's funny and harmless. I wouldn't care if the roles were reversed. I like the Suns response too. Slow news day?

No they're saying another team would like to be in the East. They were "asking for a friend". That's why Phoenix responded. Pretty funny actually.

Stupid tweet by Casey considering it was from the official account. Nothing to write an article over though

Pretty much how I see it. Its funny as hell and if the east teams want to get all upset over it maybe they can start having playoff teams without losing records more then once a decade.

If those teams have problems, then maybe they should take pride in winning... Their pathetic tank jobs are laughable

The easts been a joke for years after the top few teams. They constantly have one or two teams under .500 who make the playoffs.

Soooo true

Pretty sure Casey doesn't tweet on that account. I know my former Season Ticket Rep was one of several people who provided content for @Trailblazers. I'm pretty sure @CHoldahl is the only twitter account that Casey uses...

 

[illmatic99]

I thought he handled both the official one and his own (@CHold). NVM. Sorry!

 

[magnifier661]

Who gives a fuck?! The east does suck and the 11th place west team would be 5th in the west. If I was a fan of one of those teams, I would be deeply embarrassed! They should be called out.

Tell you what east coast... How about you take it out on the Blazers? Oh yeah that's right you are 0-8 against us. Most likely 0-300 to all west coast teams

 

[Carlito]

It's wasn't a smart thing to do on blazers part. Bulletin board material when we play east. Really dumb.
