So NOW do you understand....LOL

Fun team to watch. Easy to root for. Players with potential. Not that good yet.

Scouting is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

Now on to tomorrow for a potential fools gold win

What does scouting have to do with them shooting 42 free throws?

 

[Strenuus]

Blazers 1-1

Suns 1-1

Refs? 1-0

If the playoffs started tomorrow we'd be in the lottery.

Sorry. Yes, we lost because of the refs....I forgot

If you seriously didn't think there was a ridiculous imbalance, then I don't know what to tell you.

So taunting after win = okay
Mocking the taunting after loss = not okay

Damn there are so many weird rules on here, it's tough to keep up.

Who, specifically did Eric mock or taunt? His thread wasn't mocking a thread someone else started. It was aimed at disbelievers in general.

This thread was started for one purpose, and one purpose alone - to mock a specific forum member. That's against the rules and against the spirit of this forum. It would have been more appropriate for MM to post a counterpoint in Eric's thread than to start a new thread for the specific purpose of mocking Eric.

Stop this shitdickery and get a jorb!

Guys, the sooner we stop posting in this thread the quicker it will fade away. MM wants to stir the pot, arguing about what this thread is or isn't only makes him happier and will encourage more of this.

So lock the fucking thread. It's passive aggressive bullshit like this thread that makes the forum more contentious and less enjoyable.

Nah, then MM would go on a multi post rant about how the mods treat him differently then anyone else, we're not fair and we don't like him.

Seriously, it's best just to let it fade away.

But I do very much appreciate your input.

 

[H.C.]

Both of these threads are pretty silly.
Both have indirect call outs of posters on this forum + generalization of posters doesn't mean it's not a passive aggressive attempt to bait people into responding.

 

[theprunetang]

Bad attempt at trolling. I'll leave it at that. And I vow to never click on this thread again.

Did you really just use the term "disbelievers" to describe people who don't think we're a better team than last year? I think the term "normal" is better fitting.

BNM, it was clearly started by Eric to taunt anyone who had, or continue to have lowered expectations going into this season, and their are many, many obvious reasons that they do. Yet Eric decides to create a thread called "So NOW do you understand what I'm talking about???", after one win, and say things like:

We blasted the Warriors and Clippers (even though we lost that game) and you guys said it was just preseason which it WAS but if you are PAYING ATTENTION, we are better in every aspect of the game this year. MUCH MUCH better offensively. MUCH better defensively. And all this crap about how we only have one quality NBA starter?? Well, guess what? CJ McCollum says FUCK YOU!!

MM said we were mediocre. These pretender experts like MM, Nik, and HCP really don't understand the game of basketball at ALL. 24 wins??? Please.

Have you no eyes?

Exactly. It sounds like HCP is the one that wants to jump off a bridge after losses so he's overcompensating.

Amen. Keeping yourself in "let's wait and see" mode after early season win accomplishes nothing. You don't help the team by reserving your opinion of them. I mean, after CJ hit his first three, should the crowd go silent and say "hm. It's early. I'll wait and see if he can make 5 and then I'll cheer." That is bullshit.

But all that is totally cool
What you're upset about is a post that says:

Fun team to watch. Easy to root for. Players with potential. Not that good yet.

I read many specific mentions of posters in Erics posts, none in MM's... So please explain what the fuck you're talking about.

 

[Boob-No-More]

So? Seriously, because he whines a lot he doesn't have to play by the rules? I didn't know we had superstar calls in this forum. This thread is against the rules. He knows it and so do you. It should be deleted.

And that's the difference. Eric's thread wasn't aimed at anyone specific. This thread is. Just look at the wording in the title. I don't necessarily disagree with anything MM wrote (don't necessarily agree with it either, but that's not the point). What I object to is starting a new thread for the sole purpose of mocking a specific forum member. That's against the rules (not to mention petty and childish).

I pretty much agree with all of the above, but I'll take all of the "fools gold" wins we can get.

The Blazers are going to be all over the place this year simply because they're a young team. They're not going to get the benefit of the whistle most nights so there's not much use in whining about it.

Now, all of that said, it would be nice if MM and Kingspeed didn't have to go with the over-the-top emo crapola all of the time.

So you've again overlooked the parts where Eric specifically insulted HCP, MM and Nik.. Try reading it one more time. If you can't see it by the third time you've read it, I guess you never will. Cheers.

If I close the thread he complains, if I don't close the thread you complain. I'm not seeing a whole hell of a lot of options here besides just asking everyone to let it fade away.

Seriously, there is no personal insult in his original post and on a mocking scale I'd say it's about a 3/10.

I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains

You know I love it when the news is bad
And why it feels so good to feel so sad
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me

I did read them, but consider them irrelevant to what I wrote - complete strawman arguments. So, I didn't bother to respond. Sorry you wasted your time.

I SPECIFICALLY objected to this thread because it was STARTED for the SPECIFIC purpose of MOCKING another forum member.

Eric's thread was not STARTED to MOCK a SPECIFIC forum member.

OK, I get it he's the bigger whiner. He wins.
