And you voted no on him to hit 30 points in his 5th straight game.

How dare you, sir. How dare you!

The league is starting to take notice.

The league was SERVED notice on 2/19/2016. If a 51-point effort in a 32-point blowout of the defending champs on national TV doesn't get your attention, nothing will.

I don't think it was on national TV? I think they had some other game going... At least, I don't remember it being on National TV.

Oops, thought it was on NBATV. Guess we'l have to wait until 4/3/2016 for that one. Still, the highlights we all over ESPN, NBATV, etc.

How about tonight on national tv when we humiliate the rockets and Dame sets a franchise record?

The rockets suck. lol.

The record, though, yeah. Although that might mean more to us than the national consensus (although they WILL talk about it... hopefully with proper context)

Right, but the national media should take tonight and Dames record breaking game and look back over the last handful of games... including the GS game.

I'll wait till I see it. They SHOULD... but people Should all over themselves.

"Stop shoulding all over" It's a mantra I live by.

Although, one I wish came true was Meyers SHOULD be gone.

(I had to. I'll stop now.)

great article.

If you care about the playoffs and positioning, this is a big game.
If you care about getting as many wins as possible, this is a big game.
If you hate the Rockets, this is a big game.

But, pertaining to this thread...
If you care about national exposure/getting our due, this is a big game.

This is a Big Game! If we lose, we're only 1 game out of 9th If we win, we're 3 games out.

edit: considering the title, insert obligatory Mrs. HCP joke.

Ida preferred if you would have said Meyers SHOULD have improved more... lol

Blazer fans are continually "Should have'd":

• We should have drafted Jordan
• We should have picked Durrant
• We should have picked McAdoo over LaRue (for you old timers out there)
• We should have beat the Lakers in that game 7

Those are just a few off the top of my head, many more out there.

After we surprise the world and in the championship this year, there will be a lot of "fans" saying "I Should have been a Blazer fan" and pundits saying they Should have not underestimated Damian Lillard". Finally, when he wins finals MVP, there will be coaches saying "Damian Should have been an all-star this year".

Yup, the "Should" life of a Blazer fan.

Gramps...

Good post, except........ we shouldn't have drafted Jordan, we should have won the f-ing coin toss!

I like the avatar but you lost me on the Breaking bad Reference. I watched a couple of episodes with the wife and pulled away. Just didnt sit right getting into a crack dealer show and supporting something like that.

Wife has watched every episode thus far though, so I will have to ask her if you insulted or praised me, lol.

The first 3 are all retrospect.

The rest of it is pure truth and gold!

Wanna know the best part about breaking bad?

The meth has nothing to do with it. It's the "product" that moves the show, but the real goods are in the characters and the psychology.

No, you would not be "supporting" meth... TRUST ME, by the end of the show, you won't.

I want an avatar of Sabas next to Sheed with a quote that says: "I will tear you in half like an Estonian salmon!"

No You are the ATF agent brother in law. Feel Proud!! Your wife should draw you into it. The show has more character than any other I had seen

SEE! I'm not alone! The character development and psychology are unlike any I've seen. I've watched the show 3 times through (and half way through the 4th time watching it).... And I still learn new things.

So who is hotter speed? Lillard or elpres?

I am the same. Every time I watch the series I learn a bit more and my Mexican Latino slang improves as well. Basuro SolamenteI fucking love that series!!!!!!

Gustavo Fring was amazing. The dichotomous nature of his actions and body language was impeccable.

I hear you guys ( and the wife), but I think Im wired a bit differently. For example. My favorite TV show ever is West Wing. Ive watched it over half a doesnt times complete and own all the DVDS. I dont watch much tv though so my knowledge is limited.
Funny as im typing this thinking I must sound like a political square... I also own every single UFC form the first to the most recent and all the ultimate fighter seasons.

Ive tried twice on breaking bad and just didnt get it. But like you guys said, maybe I need to give it more time. I only watch the first 3-4 episodes of the first season.
