Can we have positive threads?

[THE HCP]

I'll stipulate to the possibility that you might end up correct, but considering that we're still less than halfway through the season, and that we haven't yet reached the trade deadline, I think it's a little early for you to be claiming victory on that one.

Not claiming victory FAMS, just saying I’m on pace and was blasted for the choice is all.

So, a thread about positive posts gets hijacked into a discussion about whether the current roster is either a "total clusterfuck" or simply "less than ideal" and whether HCP's preseason prediction about the Blazers underachieving was correct because no one could have anticipated how crappy the Blazers' offense has been.

Way to up our game on positivity!

All rosters are unfinished. Every team is trying to build on what they have, even the Warriors.

I don't know....the Hawks look finished to me.

I’m positive that I’ll go to Vegas and watch our summer league team this year.

This thread wasn't specifically for positivity, IMO. It was to open up a more meta-level discussion about positivity in this forum. At least, that's how I interpreted it. I don't really think it was hijacked.

Dammit--now we have to have a discussion about the definition of the word "hijacked".

I wonder how many times I have to type that word before Homeland Security busts down my door...

With that way of thinking, I could say that NOBODY on here predicted that our defense would be so good, right? I make my yearly predictions based solely on the talent of the roster and that of other teams. Not how I think their offense will pan out.
Two seasons ago when we lost like what, 7 of our best 9 players, I predicted a nosedive as did many others. Luckily I was wrong and our guys gelled and came together to have a fantastic season.
Then last season, I said the league would kind of figure us out and we stay around the same and I nailed it and we did.
This season, I just think the fact that we stood pat and other divisional teams got better in my opinion we would be around .500. We are actually ahead of my 40 win prediction, thus you don’t see me freaking out every game thread. We have .500 talent on this roster, why get mad about a loss or to hyped over a win we should have got?

first actual HCP paragraph!!!! well done son!

Yeah, I like to enjoy my hobby. True championship contention is rare, for almost every franchise. If that's the only time I enjoyed following the game and my team, sports wouldn't be an enjoyable hobby.

Also, we're defining "clusterfuck," which is a bit more than "non-ideal."

This. If the only time a person enjoys rooting for a team is when they are playing for the championship, that person is either a bandwagon fan, hopping from team to team; or they are unhappy most (if not all) of the time and should probably find a different way to pass the time.

Hmm...I guess that might explain all the unhappy negativity around here.

Haha. Now that you mention it, I'm putting that on my banned words list

I don't know. I already had to make a rule that you can't insult others in your avatar or signature. Do I really have to make a rule and policing people insulting themselves in their avatar and signatures? I know you're joking but fuck...

I'm just repeating what that whiny little bitch has under his avatar.

 

[Orion Bailey]

I’m positive [S]@Orion Bailey[/S] @SlyPokerDog is a whiny little bitch!

You don't need to repeat shit . I know what I have there. Does it stutter????

 

[Orion Bailey]

Blazing Giant is a drunken fool with no clue

How is that!

I dont need some avatar to remind me of these things.....

 

[Magoo]

WTH? You come on here asking for positive threads and then you predict the coach will be fired and the team will miss the playoffs??!!

Lol I'll blame it on my parents drug use or was I drunk!

Seeing my post I broke my positive vibes and not even realizing it. I guess time will tell :/

No, literally, this guy likes to eat poop.

I barely post here and never make threads. I seem to only read about the negatives going on with the team. I'm all most to the point I don't need the negativity in my life.

You are addicted to a positive self-image. Recent posts have made you doubt your beauty, and made you feel ugly.

 

[e_blazer]

I don’t think EVERYTHING posted here is NEGATIVE, but I’m POSITIVE most of it is NUCKING FUTS.

Listen. I donlt know what your guys problem is with me, but I'm POSITIVE, its your issue and not mine.

If you want to make it mine, we will need a cage.

No one has a problem with you, you're just fun to rile up.

 

[dviss1]

I wonder if at one point it gets so negative on here people will want to “quit” S2 or “not even join”. Hope not!

I have to stop myself from rage quitting every time you post.

Braggin ass...

Oh its pretty clear, BG has an issue with me, but I don't care he is a punk anyhow. You can edit this post. Rarely fo I get edited, but im fed up with this crap. Online BS.

You wanna piece of me? Let me know when and where!
