S2 ego during this streak

[Natebishop3]

That's not opinion, BTW.

That's fact.

If only more waffles came in each box

 

[THE HCP]

People here that post act like they own the forum. They think the blazers are best team in the nba and can't except criticism! I'm not naming names cause then I get accused of baiting.

Interesting because I KNOW my blazers aren't the best team and I often criticize them myself, that said I KNOW I own this forum.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

If only more waffles came in each box

Yeah. We should write to the company to request more waffles per box. We're S2, the official message board of the Blazers. That should add some legitimacy to our letter.

"If only more waffles came in a box." That's deep, my friend. Poetic, even.

Everyone is exactly the same but happier, with a few notable exceptions

Not catching an ego thing though fez, examples?

I think there has been a little "Suck it, haterz!" directed at the traditional pessimists. I can see where someone could see it as a bit arrogant.

As one of the resident, so-called "pessimists" I don't mind. If people want to do the double-barreled "Fuck you" dance 15 games into the season I just assume it's 4 or 5 years of pent up frustration boiling over in a display of irrational exuberance.

As a realist I don't get too worked up by the highs and I usually don't get too down about the lows (Oden and Roy hurt though) so whatever this hot-streak translates into in April I have no idea, but for now I'm just glad the team is playing watchable ball and who knows maybe they've got another leap in them from "good" to "great" ... that will probably take a trade to get there, but at least their pieces are starting to look more attractive if Olshey decides he needs to add some missing ingredient.

Well everyone has heard it the other way too

Comes around goes around and whatnot

As a realist, are we not 13-2?

 

[noknobs]

It's true. I sent a studio-wide memo explaining that since my team is on an 11-game winning streak, that they should not make eye contact with me and to speak only when spoken to. I live in L.A. so it didn't go over very well.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Yes they are 13-2. Do I expect them to win at an .800+ winning percentage the rest of the season? No.

 

[tlongII]

The attitude began after the 9th-straight win -- perfectly summed up in a gif:

We're turning into a bunch of Mags.

What movie is this from?

 

[Denny Crane]

Yes they are 13-2. Do I expect them to win at an .800+ winning percentage the rest of the season? No.

When they go 18-0, they'll have a 31-2 record!

 

[magnifier661]

The year of "suck it haterz"!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Yes they are 13-2. Do I expect them to win at an .800+ winning percentage the rest of the season? No.

I don't know who posted it, but I'm with them: this team could go 1-5 or 5-1 in the next six games and I wouldn't be surprised either way. At the moment, I'm so gobsmacked I can't find my bearings. It's a lot of fun though!

Serious Question: What is "Rational Exuberance?"

[Sinobas]

Yeah! Fuck this Eastern teams, we run over them like they're nothing...

 

[HailBlazers]

Good Question!

And What do you call somebody that actually enjoys the lows to the fullest, and revels in the highs when they come around without fear of coming down. A Maniac perhaps?

As a racist, are we 13-2?

Mr. Bean, I think.

I call him Mags.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I call him Mags.

Yes! We should all aspire to his kind of fandom! The Buddha of Blazer fans!

 

[Strenuus]

haha got this from the trailblazers twitter. Love it.

 

[Rhal]

I love the winning streak but maybe its just me but i'm getting damn tired of everytime anyone talks about the Blazers they have to bring up how "soft" our schedule is before talking about anything important.

Saving face, good sir.

As a "soccer mom", I just am a fan of effort. All I really want to see is our team play to their potential. I've been down on this team before, I know it hasn't been many time, but it was because we lacked effort and drive. This year's team is much different. The "never say die" attitude is what excites me!

You don't have to explain yourself, Mags. Just do what you do!

 

[BBert]

Everyone's a cynic these days. Why follow a sports team if you can't enjoy it when they have a little success? And when someone does try to enjoy the moment, or praise their team, there is always some 'cool kid' standing by to piss in their cheerios.

I think everyone, from the lowliest fan to the players themselves, are surprised with how well the Blazers have done thus far.

No caveats required.
