I've misjudged Lillard.

I forgot he has stone-face killer look when he plays, and expected to see the passion evident in a Wesley Matthews or Meyers Leonard when he plays. When he didn't deliver that, I saw him as bored, checked out, selfish.

I was very wrong.

Lillard wants to win. He's passionate. He gets it. He's probably the biggest reason LaMarcus stays if he decides to stay.

I misjudged Lillard, but I won't anymore.

I've always thought that this team needs Dame as much as they need Aldridge. But the clutch Dame is an absolute must! Aldridge is our rock during the game and Dame is our assassin during clutch time situations. When Dame and Aldridge are on, we are almost hard to beat. And when Dame and Aldridge are on, and we have 1-2 more players are on with them, we are impossible to beat.

The Blazers need their inner beast to come out. If everyone buys into the confidence, we can easily overcome anything. My frustration in the last months were witnessing this "eye of the tiger" mentality fall from the waste side. Like we lost our confidence. We definitely have the talent to beat anyone, we just need to believe in ourselves.

I just wish Stotts had this fire in the huddle to inspire the team..this is what great coaches do

Blood in his eyes? Sounds dangerous. He should probably have that looked at.

Batum has the best lost-in-translation moments.

When Dame is a killer he can't be stopped. Now it is time to unlock the cheat code for Aldridge and maybe we can pull off the improbable.

We are quickly moving further and further from generations that will understand this joke.

And it's their loss. My post was for those in my generation, all others be damned.

I wouldn't have been able to quote it had you asked me, but I recognized it immediately.

Controllers are being phased out. Soon, cheat codes will be something like this: salute, salute, plank, plank, twerk left, twerk right, twerk left, twerk right, simulate sex, start.

Older. Than. Dirt.

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right cheat code is from 1986.

Doom was issued in 1993.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Doom was an awesome game. It's brutal trying to go back and play it now though. I miss a bunch of those old ms dos games. Duke nukem and commander keen come to mind.

Oh and hugos house of horrors.

The inclusion of select" speaks well of you.

I was going to finish the cheat code but you already did! KUDOS!

Don't you need that a b select start?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Don't you need that a b select start?

That was the reason for the ellipses. Let other nerds finish it.

[XXPrimusXX]

Konami codes and Doom? Oh yes.

I can take Sly in some Deathmatch.
