A DASH PLUS

My favorite thing: New york knicks: F. Reason: Duh.

I do love how they talk about our big wins, but negate the Indiana game. *sigh*

Though the Blazers have defeated a number of top-shelf teams (San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Golden State),

Pretty sure we beat Indiana at home. I mean, we've beaten SA and OKC... so...

Oh I took it as a compliment. We've just beat so many that if he were to list them all it would have taken the entire paragraph lol

Ah. I see what you did though. However, not listing Indiana doesn't put Indiana in any bad light and us in an even better light... so it does feel like a slight... slight.

That's true. I think he was pretty fair though and gave us the best grade possible

Whew. Thanks for the disclaimer. I almost clicked on it. If I wanted a boring and unoriginal take from someone who never played competitive basketball, I'd read something Strenuus wrote.

I guess an A minus plus would be just between an A and an A+....but I'm not very detail oriented when it comes to grading papers.

Why would you even write this?
