Exactly how do you figure the Blazers owe you more than they've given us so far this season? A team that's not finished being built has been giving the best team in NBA history all it can handle. Quit whining.

Seriously. I'm not going to call the poster an idiot but his posts are certainly idiotic. Where does it say in the forum bylaws that the forum is required to have a resident crank? This guy annoints himself as such and posts such bullshit posts all damn day. Why do people enjoy wallowing in their suffering so much? What the point of such an existence?

This team, with everything that it had going against it after last season, being the youngest team left in the playoffs, and a payroll that barely met the league minimum hasn't given us reason to be grateful this season? Shut the fuck up...

Honestly, it would suck if we all agreed about everything. Having cranks, realists and homers helps to have a balance.

The biggest hole to me in this series has been Plumlee. His inability to hit a jump shot and his weakness finishing at the rim has been a huge hindrance. Plumlee is regularly getting blocked or muscled by a 6 ft 7 draymond green. As good as Green is defensively that should not happen.

Couldn't agree more. Ultimately I hang my hat on the fact that this is his first season in this position and I think there is still room for improvement. Going to be interesting to see what work he puts in during the off-season. I think his head is in the right place, and I expect him to try his hardest to improve on these aspects of his game.

e_blazer said it best above, you're supposed to get wiser over time, right?

When I'm "old" I sure hope to God I'm cherishing the time I have left and not piss it away being a self appointed resident crank on an internet forum so I can repeatedly piss on people's parades every chance I get. What a weird way to get your kicks, especially for a wise old man.
 
Man, Green nearly got a 5 X 5

21 points 9 rebounds 5 assists 4 steals 7 blocks

That's a helluva team they have there.

Let's get Durant and Horford and crush them next year.

You must be getting up there in years as well, as your memory is clearly selective. I have offered up dozens upon dozens of positive posts this season. But of course, those don't count.

And BTW - you may someday be old enough to recognize the futility of hiding what you actually think or feel just because it goes against the accepted wisdom.

OK, bud...what I've been stating IS how I actually feel (i.e. that I've been pleasantly surprised by and extremely proud of this team)...I not hiding anything. But you strike me as a guy that must always have the last word. A lawyer to the end, so make your closing argument...the floor is all yours

My apologies. If you didn't want me to respond, you just should have said so.
 
Just saw Green's comments about Blazers being done, he's probably right but come on, this was borderline disrespectful. Blazers have been a match for them in 3 out of 4 games in the series and with a bit of luck it'd be them fighting for survival on Wednesday.

The guy has proven time and time again he has no class.

Doc Rivers probably loves him.
 
Re-watching the game and here are my thoughts for the series. We're either going to tire GSW out and they will get dominated by the Spurs, or we've ignited a fire and they are going all the way.

Why does it seem like we are always that team who loses to the champs when they come out of the west?

I actually thought his response was fine. Very measured and as respectful as any answer he could have come up with.
The problem i have is with the FUCKING QUESTION in the first place. Who asks a question like that unless they are trying to set up a crappy answer. Of course he is going to be confident at this point in his teams prospects. The Blazers would now need to win 3 straight and 2 of them in Oakland to win this series.

Excuse the language if anyone is offended but Green is an arrogant prick and the most disrespectful asshole in the league.

I can't believe I am even uttering these words, but I would rather see Lebron or Westbrook and Durant win a ring before I ever want that punk ass bitch to win another one

this is what I noticed as well
the warriors really cant stand struggling to win a game
they tossed the wrong guy out of the game last night, after his first tech when he charged the ref and screamed in his face following a foul call I was sure he was gone, but nope, gotta pander to the champs.

sorry if this has been touched on but I'm not willing to read through the entire thread, but did anyone else see him intentionally shoulder cj when they were walking to their respective benches for a time out? the fuck was that? cj turned around and then spieghts went and acted like some tough guy and gave him the back handed shew fly don't bother me gesture multiple times.

Therein lies some of our problems. We need to toughen up. Plumlee specially.

I will become the number one fan of the first player who decides they are tired of Green's antics and tries to deck him. They don't even have to connect just the simple gesture would be enough. I just want to see someone wipe that smug smile off that entitled Donkey looking mother fuckers face

I swear CJ has some fire in him. I love the death stare and small trashtalk. The kid stands up in the face of anybody

A field of dead, broken stumps does not a forest make.

I'm not even angry at the team - I am angry at myself for getting sucked in.

Foolish post. And I'm not gonna even spell out why. It's obvious we overachieved this season. When even tunchi can come in here and give props...

Man, I got like 4 hours of sleep and am feeling like I just got punched in the gut about a 100 times.

Toughest loss I've been a part of since 00.
