I'm hoping they're at a high competitive level over the next few games while keeping me entertained.

Yes it does! Should we not cheer at Moda because according to you, we have no chance?

I'm going to cheer for the Blazers here at home. Doesn't mean I think they can win the series. If I was at the game I'd cheer as well.

So you think believing no matter the circumstances; having blind faith a team will win is what makes someone a good fan? No wonder you have such unrealistic projections every year with this team. Last year you repeatedly said we'd win in the playoffs after Wes injury; similar to Dallas winning a title when Caron Butler got injured. This year you predicted the team would win 55 games and somehow have turned that into a narrative your preseason expectations for the team were spot on.

I know nothing I say will change you're opinion; that's not the purpose of my posts. I'm posting to third party reasonable posters. They agree with me more often than your outlandish statements. Best of luck to you Kingspeed of fighting the good fight, predicting ultimate glory for the Blazers every second of every day no matter what. Some of us express our fandom in other ways. Your hopes of success doesn't make you a better fan than anyone else.

If it wasn't true the thread wouldn't hurt. Accept it; come to terms with the loss and move on. You'll feel better.

It doesn't hurt. Its just an utter complete waste of a read when trying to maintain a high level going into tonight's game. Talk about the ultimate buzzkill....

So what do you want them to do.. give up? Fuck it. we have no chance.

When trying to win, you don't walk into something thinking your gonna lose....

Gimme a break.

Why did this need a new thread considering it says almost EXACTLY the same thing as the "harsh reality" thread?

Because some people can only write and read about the negatives until their eyes pop out, so they aren't happy until the first page is full of doom and gloom threads?
 
After one really bad game of course I am not optimistic. I would be very, very surprised if the Blazers came back to win the series. Even if they won three games I would be surprised. They did not play that well in the last month; it seemed we were always going up against teams with key guys out. However, I know that in life and especially in sports, there are always surprises. I am hoping for one, starting tonight. There's plenty of time later to speculate about free agents or trades.
 
Yes I'm excited for next season.

I'm also anxious to see how the Blazers compete in the playoffs this season. Although I don't have high expectations, I'm not ready to completely write them off.
 
Who cares if we have no chance of winning, dont' tell the team that. I want to see a team come out and compete every game. We weren't supposed to make the playoffs, we are playing with house money so what if we lose in the first round to a superior team. Hell if Blake wasn't injured for 49 games there wouldn't have been even a reasonable doubt that we could challenge the Clippers.

Have whatever response you want. I'm interested if some posters agree with me and have arrived at similar conclusions. If a poster has a contrasting rebuttle and writes a well thought out post I'm interested to read that as well. You have a fine outlook in how you're going to watch the team.

For me it's a lot more enjoyable to watch the team from a realistic perspective and think of what we could improve on next season.

No problem with watching from a "realistic perspective". Just remember, though, that "realism", when it comes to trying to be objective when watching sports, does not equate to "reality". "Realism" is based on percentages and estimates based on past performance. "Realism" had most national prognosticators predicting the Blazers would finish around 11th in the West and nowhere near the playoffs. "Realism" had me predicting 35 wins and you predicting 32. "Reality" includes such damnably unpredictable positive things as leadership, growth, spirit, momentum, and energy. It also includes negatives like injury, doubt, and bad chemistry. "Reality" is why they play the games instead of just running computer simulations. "Reality" is why I get excited when the Blazers play, even when I think they're likely to lose. You just never know when something truly amazing is about to happen.

Go Blazers!

So glad you are going to root for the Blazers even though you don't believe in them...indeed you are entitled to your opinion...but what bad taste to look at the summer when the season is not over regardless if we have a chance at winning or not...a true fan doesn't stop believing until the last game is played...a true fan believes in his team no matter what...you may call that delusion sir, but I call that faith...I realize that the Blazers will probably not win...but I refrain from creating threads like these until the fat lady sings...I don't think you are a bad fan, I just think you are getting a head of things...

P.s.

I am a Homer and pick the Blazers to win every game in the game to game predictions thread, but picked 43 in the season wins thread and made some insanely accurate predictions in the various predictions thread...and I think believing no matter the circumstances is part of what makes a true fan

Hmm... I'm about to listen to game 2.

Seems the series isn't over.

THAT'S the realistic view. Oh, how some forget.

Your not watching it?
 
NEVER DOUBT RIP CITY!
 
This seems a little obvious. Considering I would've put the odds at us winning a championship at precisely 0%, we were going to lose in the playoffs at some point. The mere fact we made it is great, anything from here is gravy.

We won't win the championship in 2017, let's start planning for 2018!
