There is a Blazer game going on right now. Aren't you the guy who whines about nobody posting in game threads?

This is a stupid fucking thread, by the way.

 

[<-=*PdX*=->]

lol at this being a stupid thread... You may not like his picks but a playoff prediction thread is one I would expect to see posted here.

But you did have a stupid fucking comment, by the way. So theres always that.

I always make stupid fucking comments. I found it to be hypocritical for the one poster who whines about game threads not being active to actually start a new thread during a game. He hadn't commented on the game thread, so I posted in this thread. Whatever.

 

[PapaG]

Post yours or shut up and leave the thread, PapaG.

LOL

Um, OK. I'm watching the Blazer game and posting in the game thread. You weren't, which makes this thread stupid.

There is plenty of time until Saturday for prediction threads. This was a stupid thread that was meant for the OP to attract attention, and I called the OP on his bullshit regarding game threads.

you seem to be the one calling for attention. If you were so deep into the game thread how did you even see this post? Hypocritical. This game is practically a scrimmage with top players sitting it out. I'd rather talk playoff predictions than this game also.

And on that topic, I don't see Portland beating the Rockets 4 times, it might go 6 games but it will be tough.

Thanks for you input, whoever you are.

Interesting. Memphis over OKC. Could be a good series. Hollins said on the radio yesterday that they would've beaten the thunder last year even if Westbrook had played. I think there are going to be a lot of upsets this year.

Bro, I have let him know in the past about his thread-starting capabilities, but he is a good dude and a true fan. You just need to relax and take another bong hit.

I started commenting in the game thread during the game at post #117. I had commented before that but that was before the game. I went on to post during game at #121 and #125. All you we doing was bitching about CJ. You even RESPONDED to one of my posts. Then you came here and spouted this garbage that I wasn't posting in the game thread. Pretty idiotic and moronic of you. Ready to admit you're wrong now?

 

[HailBlazers]

Wow... if you don't have something to contribute STFU.

WEST Rounds 1 & 2:

San Antonio>Dallas
Houston<Portland

Oklahoma City>Memphis
Los Angeles>Golden State

Portland>San Antonio
Oklahoma City>Los Angeles

Although I'll be rooting for GSW and MEM.

This might have been more of a "this is what I hope happens" pick...
But I can also see it happening. Z-Bo and Marc can feast on OKC. Ibaka and Collison are good defenders, but with the high/low between Z/M and both of them having exceptional mobility and passing abilities, I don't see them shutting them both down. Conley v Westbrook should be interesting. If MEM can make Westbrook think he can win the series then that bodes well for MEM. I know it's easier said than done, but deny Durant the ball and keep it in Westbrook's hands - all it should take is a few seconds of denial before Westy just takes the shot himself.

I think the Spurs and Heat are the clear favorites nationally. I think many of us are either blind homers (guilty) or trying to outsmart the consensus (also guilty).

I dont think homerism factors in at all. I have portland sweeping indiana in the finals after a 7 game series against clips
