You aren't impressed now? Not even a little bit? Not even just a tiny, small, almost immeasurable bit?

 

[MIXUM]

its been a solid start but again... needing a huge run to beat the clippers and knicks isnt gonna cut it. did u see dallas destroy the clips today? thats what good teams do.

But was that the home opener for the Clips? They still only get one of those, right?

I also saw Dallas losing at home to Memphis, which is most certainly not what good teams do.

Good teams win at the end of 48 minutes. So far, Portland is doing it. That's all that matters. If they can continue to win consistently - I could care less if it was because of 4th quarter runs, voodoo doll management or tornado licking. A win is a win is a win is a win.

We destroyed the Clips.

 

[KingSpeed]

My emotional system has always been once we win 4 straight, then I'm okay with a loss. Any losses after 3 game win streaks or less make me miserable.

 

[ABM]

We destroyed the Clips.

Thus far, the Blazers have been like the Ducks.....keep us guessing, then hit 'em hard late.

Heh, thanks for that. (while wondering if one should change his sig......)

I'm good with just making the playoffs somehow, anyway possible, then winning at least 4 of each 7.

Read and post in the thread. Or don't.

Taking the time to post in a thread that you don't like just to complain defeats the entire purpose, I'd argue.

You? argue? never.

;P

 

[andalusian]

As long as we get 16 wins in the Playoffs, I'm OK.

 

[Natebishop3]

You? argue? never.

You? Sarcasm? never.

I'm not sure I follow you.

You complaining about my complaints is worse then the original complaining..........

Quit complaining about your complaints you complainer.

 

[julius]

Quit complaining about your complaints you complainer.

You need to stop telling people what to do, that is worse than HCP complaining about his complainer complaining about his complaining.

Hey, I'm just voicing my complaints about HCP being a complainer complaining about others complaints about his original complaining. If he would quit his original complaints, maybe people wouldn't complain about him being such a complainer.

And in turn I'm filing my disenchantment with your brand of complaining, based on the fact that HCP has the same right complain about the complainers, as the complainers have to complain about him complaining about his initial complaint. And I find your ideas fascinating, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Can we just talk about the Blazers, or do I have to read about Admins, Mods, and the mere mortals in a cyber dick size contest.

Ed O. has small hands in his pics, if that's the case. I'll take the field on that one!

But who's on first?

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

To revisit the bet:

1. Blazers get off to horrible start this season (.500 or sub .500 after 20 games).

2. Greg Oden doesn't play in more than 30 games.

3. Brandon Roy misses 20+ games with an injury.

4. A big trade does not take place that drastically improves the team.

5. Nicholas Batum averages career high's in 3 of the 5 major statistical categories (Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals and Blocks).

6. Luke Babbit scores 15+ points in 3 games this season.

7. The Portland Trailblazers miss the playoffs.

Primus, here is why I had a huge problem with your bet.

Batum has hardly been stellar and he is close to putting up numbers that will satisfy the requirements for MIXUM. His claim was that Batum would have the best season of any Blazer. Right now, he is not ranked one or two in any of those five categories. According to the ESPN season leaders, he is 5th on our team.

Just keeping score:

Mixum 1
Primus 0

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Just keeping score:

Mixum 1
Primus 0

So far, it's 1-1; Batum is averaging career highs in points, rebounds, and steals per game.

 

[BGrantFan]

So far, it's 1-1; Batum is averaging career highs in points, rebounds, and steals per game.

Wouldn't that make it 2-0 MIXUM?

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

So far, it's 1-1; Batum is averaging career highs in points, rebounds, and steals per game.

That point cannot be awarded until the end of the year and would be MIXUM's if the numbers stay as is.
