WHAT PART OF NO FREE CHICKEN McNUGGIES ARE YOU NOT UNDERSTANDING?!?

Im not myself when Im hungry.

Im not myself when Im hungry.

Im not myself when Im sober

Here is a fun forum fact:

People are nicer to each other when the Blazers win.

 

[BlazerBeav]

I don't normally drink at games (mainly because it's so overpriced), but I found myself better able to deal with that piss poor effort while doing so. Clever move for the Blazers to increase revenue.

 

[illmatic99]

This too!

When we played LAC the narrative was we weren't using ball movement because it's hard against good teams. What's the excuse tonight when it's the SAME team we just abused a week ago using a ton of great ball movement and teamwork?

We are bad. We play like a lotto team. The sooner we realize our expectations, the better for our general mindset.

It's worse than a lotto team because the young guys aren't getting extended minutes and the veterans are being run into the ground. Genius Terry at work.

No McNuggies for you Dog.
After witnessing this season so far, perhaps Pooch is interested in this block of chocolate I have here. . .

 

[Mediocre Man]

That was really disappointing

Conversation happens pretty much every year. I try to straddle the fence.

For me , it's like this.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Whered my posts go? I didnt insult anyone

Reviewing after-the-fact, my guess would be that calling another poster self-righteous and full of $#!& probably qualified as an insult.

 

[kjironman1]

Im not myself when Im sober

This season has been rather sobering.

 

[kjironman1]

Here is a fun forum fact:

People are nicer to each other when the Blazers win.

All except you. You will ban a dude win or lose. Woof-righteous dog you are!

 

[kjironman1]

Yeah that would probably fit the bill.

 

[Chris Craig]

Im not myself when Im hungry.

This whole season is cleary a snickers commercial

 

[Chris Craig]

Here is a fun forum fact:

Not really

 

[Chris Craig]

Or calling them stupid

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Whered my posts go? I didnt insult anyone, just called out a couple posts. Or do posts have rights like people now too?

Seriously, what the fuck? Whoever reported that is sad man...

Really?

Come on, this is totally a personal insult.

"You're so self-righteous and full of shit."

 

[hoopsjock]

We are bad. We play like a lotto team. The sooner we realize our expectations, the better for our general mindset.

But we just showed against that same team that we aren't bad if we play as a team.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

No they didn’t. Last possession Dame being guarded by the old guy we want now. I brain fading his name????

I'm glad I'm not the only guy having that problem.

 

[kjironman1]

I'm glad I'm not the only guy having that problem.

I couldn’t spell it anyway. So I just went with Iggy.

 

[kjironman1]

But we just showed against that same team that we aren't bad if we play as a team.

I really think there is a bunch of hand wringing and worrying about the team that really isn’t there. They made a bunch of moves in the off season. Maybe this group just isn’t that good? Lots of people hoped it would be me included. But they have a way if it never works out to press reset again.

That's the exact opposite of what I'm saying. Just a week ago they blew this Thunder team out of the water with a dazzling display of unselfishness and making the extra pass. Last night they resorted back to hero ball like they always do when times get tough.

 

[James lamphear]

They missed a lot of open shots.

That my point.

 

[tlongII]

We're missing our entire frontcourt. Of course we're going to be bad. Just gotta tank and get ready for next season.

That post was self-righteous and full of shit. Dude needs to be called out on that one. Forgot to clearly clarify its reference to his pattern of posts. Next time I'll play semantics.

 

[BonesJones]

Or calling them stupid

Where the fuck did I do that? I didn't obviously word one post, but this is an example of a mod making up some shit. But youre gonna defend your boy at all costs while he rants at people in all caps. And pointing out that things don't sound smarter in CAPS isn't calling someone stupid, so quit making things up.

EDIT: To make things worse, the guy who runs the forum 'liked' that post.

This place man...

You addressed the poster, not the post.

 

[BonesJones]

Yes, I forgot the requisite "posts are".
