When we got Hassan Whiteside I posted my unfavorable opinion of the acquisition, based mostly on gossip from that liberal sports rag ESPN. I had only seen him play a few times.

I only watch Blazers games and we only get national broadcasts here. Thanks Comcast.

Well, we got Hulu live a couple weeks ago and, well you know the rest of the story.

A Tip of The Cap to a Real American Rejector. :cheers:
 
Hmm... How did this get in the OT Forum?

Can a mod move it to the basketball side, please? :dunno:
 
You posted it in the OT section.


But I will move it to the basketball section.

What does a sports channel have to do with Liberalism?

Takes a big man to admit his opinion was innitially innacurate and has changed his view.

Politicizing a post in a Portland Trailblazer forum regarding an opinion of a player is an extremely weak argument but then again, not surprising from the culprit.

and why do we need a political attack in the Blazer section? Clean out his political call out from the post or keep it in the ot section.

I am chill. Just don't see the necessity of bringing maris's slanted political view into the Blazer section. I have my right to an opinion as much as anyone else and I will state it when I feel appropriate. Fair enough?

And when you do, people will comment thereupon. Fair enough?

Origin of thereupon

First recorded in 1125–75, thereupon is from the Middle English word ther uppon

that has nothing to do with basketball or anything really, except that I was just wondering about the word.

I suppose next I should look up the history of the words 'trivial' and 'irrelevant' since those would define this post

I thought it was a joke, and I thought it was kind of funny based on Maris' personality in general and the fact that ESPN is not political at all. No real need to go off on it. The meat of the post was that he didnt like Whiteside now he loves him. I agree I was skeptical but optimistic of the Whiteside pick up and Whiteside has exceeded my expectations, the dude is a monster and in his short time being here has become a Blazer legend.

Way to recover the thread!
I too am impressed with Whiteside.
 
I see the op was finally able to get the alternative facts all sorted out on Whiteside, musta been able to get Fox sports working... or does The Blaze feature Blaze the trail cat as a host now? :bgrin:
 
The OP was the most complaints one person could possible fit into a minimal amount of words. The complaint/word ratio was exquisite.

Whiteside has been very solid this year and him and Lillard are getting some synergy going on the pick and roll. Melo has been solid as well. We just need to get a consistent scorer off the bench.

Better communication on defense and some more consistent offense from the bench and they could be just fine while we wait for the return of some of our key players.
