Geez...the only normalcy you guys will have this season is when you get taken out by the Lakers in the playoffs

I guess that is if you consider that normal operations. Until last year, normal operations was to not make the playoffs.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Don't forget the Oden sexting hoopla.

Absolutely!!! This has been madness.

Mags has been around forever--maybe not here, but other forums. He was at O-Live long before I was. He's no fair-weather fan; he's about the biggest homer you'd ever meet. Ask SlyPokerDog, he'll tell you.

Well since 1997 POR has had 7 playoff appearances....the Lakers have taken them out five of those seven times

There is no need to question folks fanhood man. Everybody is different with different agenda's. Some people might have stopped following because it was too much to take, after all, how many times can you take being kicked in the nuts before you just don't let it happen anymore?

geez how did MIXUM miss this one to start!

 

[hasoos]

Don't forget the Oden sexting hoopla.

Does that phone come with a 12" strap on so you can really feel like Greg?

 

[DaRizzle]

at least we know he uses the products he endorses

By sheer volume of bad things that happened to good (and talented) people, this year wins.

I wonder though if you couldn't come up with several truly crazier seasons. There are injuries, and then there are sloppy seconds, dog fighting, player card ID, crawl spaces, tinfoil in airports, getting high in hummers, basketball in the nuts, technicals, towels in the face, bubble gum, 4th quarter implosions, Jermaine O'Neal, Ha and the vast wreckage of Shawn Kemp, Bonzi Wells and JR Rider. (Feel free to pile on.)

This season has been a G-rated slapstick of tragedy. Interesting and depressing in its own right. But crazier than the Rob Zombie shit from a few years back? Uh, I don't think so.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

You missed Pryz slipping in the shower to re injure his knee.

That's the reason Penn got fired.

One drop of the soap can ruin a man's career.

Mags is good people. He's also a HUGE fan.

Mags is far from a fair weather fan. Just because he doesn't have time to respond to your BS doesn't mean he isn't a huge Blazer fan.

True dat!

Mags is a huge homer. Hell of a nice guy too.

It can also ruin a nice visit to prison!

+ player going after Dunleavy in the locker room, and Dunleavy telling the players to "let him come"

+ player threatening official on the loading docks outside the arena

+ player breaking teammate's jawbone with a cheapshot punch in practice

etc, etc..

Madness? No.

THIS IS PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS BASKETBALL!

HAHA! My grandpa was a longtime season ticket holder. And when that happened, he changed the name "flipping the bird" to "giving the bonzi".
