Save that shit for somebody else here FAMS. Nobody is "accepting mediocracy"! Just not expecting perfection. You keeping setting yourself up for a letdown every night , see how that works out.

Man bro I just want a great team that wins and gets far. We gotta stop accepting a participation trophy mentality. That’s all big bro!

So you want a "great team that wins and get's far"..........? Do you honestly believe there is ONE SINGLE regular poster on here that doesn't want the exact SAME thing? Is there?

Who doesn't want accountability? Nobody is content with a "fun regular season team that just makes the playoffs" That's just it. It's how you handle the losing. Wishing that Stotts dies and CJ blows out his knee and shit like that is just ridiculous. People saying the most heated and angry things about people on a sports team is just mind boggling to me. And then to come back and say, "oh the posts in game threads are just heat of the moment"? Nah, we all want to win and go all the way every year, it's just all about expectations and how you handle the results, good or bad.
I've said it before, those people that predict 65 wins every season, OF COURSE they're going to be all pissed off, what did they expect? You want to own a Benz, but you wake up to a Nissan in the driveway, shit's gonna leave you sour.
 
And before somebody calls me a "homer" or "apologist"..... @THE HCP has been down with this team his whole life. My parents having season tickets in the 70s. The whole neighborhood watching the games in our basement during the Pay-Per-View days and us neighborhood kids chasing down the Portland Police for Billy Ray Bates and Kermit Washington trading cards in the 80s.... to ride that roller coaster from 1990 and on........ You can't even start to understand somebody's love, allegiance or passion for a team by if they don't get mad and scream EVERY FUCKING GAME THREAD! Just because I don't wish harm on our players, doesn't mean I don't care. #RipCityFoLife

Oh man I don’t say stuff like that. I don’t agree with saying shit like that. That’s fucked up. It’s not that serious. Its just a game at the end of the day.

I just don’t want that mediocracy thinking on the basis of the game. That’s all. Predicting to win 65 games and shit is a little over the top I agree as well because I just want a team with good numbers. Assists, defensive ratings, coaching, if those are above average or getting better every game then great. Nobody should complain. But that’s not happening unfortunately big bro

I had a former co-worker who was a complete and utter numpty.

Like literally, the biggest fucking idiot ever. I left that job (thank God it was a soul crushing dumpster fire of a job) and he was given a raise and promoted.

I ran into him the other month and he tried to talk shit about how he got the job I wanted (I didn't) and he thought he was paid more than I was at my new job (he wasn't). He had gotten married, and thought I was jealous of him, etc.

Nope, even if he had a better job, he would still be a fucking loser.


Point being? Sometimes this place is a lot like him. Bragging about dumb things, still acting like a dipshit, and not letting go of anything.
 
While Dame is going through a rough patch, his old rivals Steph Curry and Russell Westbrook have gone HAM.
 
LA could've been remembered, but he bailed on us and now he's not going to be celebrated anywhere.

It would be best just to let it go.

The thing is Bones and Hoops are awesome Blazer Fans. They pretty much live and breathe the Blazers and want the very best. They have a great following on their pod cast. Probably two of the most knowledgeable basketball fans you will find anywhere.

So lets just leave it at that and wish them all the best and support their endeavors. They are both decent men who are working hard to create something very special.

Hats Off the Blazers Uprise
Hats Off to Blazer Broadcasting. They also are doing the very best they can and have created one of the very best products around the league. HCP is a big part od that as well.
 
Sad about LMA. Hope he has a long life with his family.
