Remember when it was PapaG who made every thread about himself, and you were the one who talked intelligently about basketball?

I'll save us both the pain of remembering when you were great. I'll just ignore you and spare you some grief.

I do remember.

I tried that earlier in this thread and was called a troll. Not sure what I am supposed to do, to be honest?

MM is drinking the kool aid!

Or he is setting it up to complain we should have won, and by losing to okc or Indy, we suck

This from dviss1
People acting like MM is optimistic aren't reading between the lines. If we go 6-4 in this trip there would be no shame in that at all.

CHI, OKC, GSW, & IND are all teams that if we lose to we should not be ashamed that we lost to them. Saying that we should is not homerism at all. It's more negative Nancy stuff...

This from Boob-No-More
Yep, he's deliberately setting himself up for disappointment. Anything less than 9-1 will be a failure by the team, he'll be disappointed and we'll hear about it.

I agree, ANY win over CHI, OKC, GSW and IND would be a BIG win. Those are 4 of the top teams in the league and all are playing very well right now. CHI got off to the slow start, but they have won 5 in a row and absolutely dominated IND over the weekend.

Given the quality of the competition, and the number of b2bs, I'd be happy with 6-4, and ecstatic with 7-3. Seriously, it's one of our tougher 10-game stretches and if we can win 60% - 70% of those games, it bodes well for the rest of the season. 6-4 would make us 15-6 after 21 games. That's on pace to win 59 games - something this franchise has only done 3 times in 43 years. How could anyone not be happy with that start?

@ BNM - It's a clever way to be a Negative Nancy for him, though. Gotta give him credit. Be OVERLY optimistic, and still say they did bad with the (expected) result.

Well done. lol.


So again, I ask, in all sincerity......What am I supposed to do? I try to talk basketball and get attacked because my basketball takes differ from the majority of the forum.

Honestly looking for advice.
 
I love you MM! Please give us more of these 10-0 predictions! You are lucky man!!!!
 
It must be a giant conspiracy, mags has dosed us with DMT and now we share a hive mind consciousness where we blindly single out genius posters for no reason whatsoever for ridicule and derision
 
What are the other realists doing? I always considered you, Nikolokous and Natebishop3 to be generally similar in your takes. Perhaps voicing concerns while also recognizing publicly the wins and plays... It's seems like we're not seeing the humanity of your fandom... And if that's not your style, that's cool...

I regret saying what I did. I shouldn't have. It's just hard to reconcile your takes with what I'm seeing on the court, and it's starting to look like stubbornness or negativity.

No worries from me, I have real issues to deal with.

Not sure what my takes have been that you are having trouble with though?

I questioned why so many fans expected or thought we should lose to Chicago, Indiana, etc
I said the Blazers were one of the best teams in the league right now

I'd have to go back and look, but what did, or have I been saying?
 
That seemed to me like you were calling us out for not screaming "10 and 0" when we were trying to be realistic, and then setting unrealistic expectations on the team that you could then point to saying "see, I told you they weren't that good."

In short, it seemed like you were laying a trap for the homers ("lemming homers" as you've called us)

It felt like a move MIXUM would pull.
 
To be honest, I would much rather have all fandom blowing one trumpet. Maybe a parade is in order? The S2, love your man parade?

Dude it's like every post you're trying to pick a fight! We know you have real issues, it's well documented. But don't be Debbie Downer! Have a great day I'm going to sleep!

Wasn't trying to pick any fights. And literally no one in their right mind would pick that up from that post. I'm not sure it's me looking to argue or fight.
 
1.) Milwaukee on the road (Win)
2.) Chicago at home (Win)
3.) golden state on the road (b2b) (Win...had it as a loss)
4.) New York at home (Win)
5.) Phoenix on the road (Loss)
6.) Lakers on the road (Win)
7.) Indiana at home (b2b) (Win)
8.) OKC at home (had as a loss....didn't think they'd beat both Indy and OKC)
9.) Utah at home (everyone has as a win)
10.) Dallas at home (b2b) (should be a win)

Of course we would like 9-1 and it would be an incredible run to beat Chicago, @ G-State, Indy, OKC and Dallas. Is that being greedy? Going into this stretch I would have been elated with 8-2 but now I want 9-1!

:matrix:
 
should've been 10-0...if we lose two (one to PHX?!?!) I'll be severely heated and burn my BlazerManiac shirt!
 
Mags......I have #4-8 still right?
 
HCP, shh...if you leave him alone for another two weeks, he'll probably let you amend the bet to #2-15. ;)
 
That Chinaman's memory is as bad as Joaquin Noah's free throw form!
 
Did you really type FROGGY then had to go back and fix it! HAHAHAHAHA!
