Camby says Blazers are "cursed"

[Shooter]

"They might not want to admit it, but when I was there, my goodness, people were saying, 'Are we really snake-bit? Are we really cursed?' " Camby said. "Doubts and talks like that came about. Everybody just tried to brush it to one side and remain positive, but it was hard to escape because everybody was talking about it. It’s hard to argue when it keeps happening year after year after year."

[TradeNurkicNow]

pretty much spot on

 

[e_blazer]

He must have taken some of the curse with him. Look what's happened to the Rocket's playoff chances since he joined them.

 

[RedHotRollin]

The curse is Paul Allen

 

[RedHotRollin]

Or in other words the "dark cloud"

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Medical / Training staff?

 

[Mediocre Man]

It's hard to not think that way, but in reality, the injuries have been to players who were injured already

 

[jlprk]

What would it hurt to change trainers just for the hell of it?

Nothing to lose, everything to gain...random change is done all the time for players and coaches...why are trainers the league's royal class with lifetime appointments?

This team is cursed! Hell even when they were great during the Drexler years they still got matched against the AMAZING Micheal Years! When they were the better team in 2000 they got matched against the media adored nationally could do no wrong Kobe, Shaq and Phil trio. Throw in the Bowie which would have netted us Jorden, and Oden who would have netted us #1 player of this year candidate and allstar for the last five years KD and I'd say we are tied with the Sox's curse of the Bambino!

If this team was given the key to the city, it would be for the wrong city!

 

[C_note]

Dude, it was the WCF in 2000. Of course they were going to be matched against the best team in the west...

for the levelheaded post

With two projected cornerstones going down for good in the last year, I'm sure that curses and whatnot have been discussed ad nausea in the locker room not to mention when reporters are bringing it up. Whatever, it's a rough game and people are fragile. Remember when the Red Socks were supposedly cursed? That sort of stuff is nonsense for the feeble-minded.

edit... just read GP's post after posting my own lol

STOMP

I'm hoping that this new era we start from a clean slate.

Team colors, court design, uni's.

I don't believe in stuff like this but I just want something fresh that wont remind me of what could have been.

Oh, and never wear this design ever again!

 

[DaLincolnJones]

funny thing, Canby had one of his most complete seasons here..

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

The curse is Paul Allen

I agree with this.

 

[lakeblazer]

Didn't Houston get officially eliminated tonight. Let's hope Camby took it with him.

 

[Natebishop3]

Our curse is definitely our front office.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Of course the idea that this team is cursed is just silly ... still it probably would have been better if the Rose Garden hadn't been built on an ancient Indian burial ground ... and Paul probably should haven't stiffed that Gypsy fortune teller at the carnival that one time ...

 

[jlprk]

Canzano is both curse and cancer.

 

[PapaG]

Bert Kolde looks like he eats the hearts of dead aborted babies.

Of course the Blazers are cursed.

 

[crandc]

No such thing as cursed. Claiming a supernatural problem prevents finding a real world solution.

 

[Eastoff]

Waah waah waah Red Sox. Ever heard of the Cubs? They are going on 104 years since a Championship.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Fine.

Fire Allen and run Canzano out of town.

problem solved.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I believed (still do) in the Curse of the Bambino.

I also am convinced the Cubs are jinxed.

 

[crandc]

Umm, Prophet, just who is supposed to carry out your orders?

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Umm, Prophet, just who is supposed to carry out your orders?

The baseball gods.

You may laugh but I have had personal experience with the golf gods and now know not to mess with them anymore.

Bowie got us Buck Williams. Oden got us nothing.

Baseball?

Nah, PA will just put them on payroll, then they can't fire him.
Canzano, maybe. Not sure if that would improve the team but sure would improve the discourse.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Umm, Prophet, just who is supposed to carry out your orders?

Well, that's a good question. I think I'll go with the previous answer- them baseball gods.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Canzano said he's hearing the Blazers are thinking about a uniform change next year.

I want new colors!

Scarlet red
Gold/yellow
Black

Think Spain (FIBA):
