Layman against James, OMG.

 

[Lanny]

There is no such animal as a "good" loss or a "bad" win. The standings don't have a column for style points!

Not entirely all of my enjoyment comes from the wins/losses columns.

 

[Lanny]

Never understood this mentality. I'll take an UGLY, BAD win over GOOD loss anyway. Second week of April, trust me, only thing that counts is the W.

I think the mentality is based on future expectations. If the Lakers have not been playing particularly good then perhaps they'll be more likely to slip up against us.

 

[Lanny]

Rare day off on the road. Get to cheer my Laker......errrrr........Blazers on from the stands!

You better say Blazers or I'm gonna toilet paper your house.

 

[Lanny]

i honestly hate the rockets more than the Lakers. and it isn't even close.

Everyone has the right to goof once in a while.

 

[BBert]

Sad thing is the lakers broadcast will be less biased than the ESPN one, so find that feed if you can.

Truth

 

[rotary111]

Layman against James, OMG.

Right? Jake is like " Feed me, I got BBQ chicken over here!"

 

[tlongII]

Get this shit outta here!

You must have signatures turned off.

That's what I thought.

No comment.

Hey, the undesirability of the event doesn't negate the accuracy of the analysis. I mean, see the response below...

 

[Shaboid]

That's what I thought.

No comment.

He's a mod though. Doesn't that mean you can verbally berate him with personal insults?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Man, I wish. Sly only lets people insult him. Selfish mutt won't share any of that sweet, sweet vitriol with the rest of us.

@SlyPokerDog Is here to talk balls.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Who the hell is "Chris The Zero"?

EDIT: NVM I didn't read far enough.

What does that mean, knowing this team? Other teams never lose games?

 

[BBert]

There is nothing whatsoever about this possible outcome that is unique to the Blazers.

There, I said it!

Feel the burn!!!

Not unique to, just typical of.

 

[hoopsjock]

Not unique to, just typical of.

What am I missing here? Losing to an above .500 team on the road is "typical" Blazers?

 

[Jade Falcon]

I chose the Rockets and the Thunder.

I chose the Lakers and the Warriors. I fucking HATE the Warriors the most of any NBA team; probably all time. And the Lakers because of their retarded fans and completely bias media coverage.

Speaking of which....this game is going to be on ESPN. Which means the words "LeBron" and "Ball" are going to be uttered every 5 seconds.

Fuck it all.

GO BLAZERS!

 

[dviss1]

I fucking HATE the Warriors the most of any NBA team; probably all time.

Why?

They built their team the way every team should.

I get that they have a donkey, Jon B, and burner account on the team.

I like Steph. You don't?

They are always talking about LeBron's balls. Why would tonight be any different?

 

[Jade Falcon]

I like Steph. You don't?

No, I don't.

I'm also the son of a life-long Warriors fan who, until two months ago, drove a Warriors-yellow Aston Martin.

You have no idea what that's like.

I don't like their fans, their coach, their players.....just leave me with my hate, thank you.

 

[Jade Falcon]

They are always talking about LeBron's balls. Why would tonight be any different?

I dunno.

Maybe this time they'll pull off before he cums....

 

[BBert]

They are always LICKING LeBron's balls. Why would tonight be any different?

Durant makes them unbearable.
