So who's jumping ship?

You: "Maybe I just need to step back for a month and come back refreshed."

That's jumping ship. The coaches and players don't get to "step back" like you. They have to show up and work hard to win games. Too bad you'll give up for a month.

Your timing stinks.

This is not the time to be getting self-righteous on people who are justifiably upset and depressed. You may think you look impressive up on that high horse, but from down here, all anybody sees is a horse's ass.

Just like how our season was over after two games, right? Amirite? I find this hilarious coming from you of all people.

Jumping ship is giving up on the team. I'm not giving up on the team. I just need to find a way to not get so upset every time this team faces a major loss.

Can we push people off the ship? Or make them walk the plank?

if we make a trade... we can still at least get bounced in the first round. no... trade and seasons done.

Is it ok if I think you're lying?

I'm still watching every game and pulling for these guys. We can still win games without Oden. Will the traffic on this site be cut in half now? Curious.

Man... people are pretty f'ing depressed over what happened. Give people a little break here. I know you don't like Oden and all, but many think he was a big reason for whether we'd make a championship run or not.

I think he meant "tears of joy".

I am really really bummed about oden, but I am a Blazer fan for life! I do not talk blazers and read blazers because of Greg Oden, I do it because I love the city of portland and I Love there basketball team the Trailblazers if they win or lose. Anybody else go fuck yourself

My favorite (non-humorous) response in this thread.

 

[bluefrog]

I was around when Telfair, Monia, and Viktor were the future of the team.

Puh-lease. I worry about some of the noobs, however.

Don't forget Ha!

This team has come so far and you're not a fan if this drives you away

 

[oldguy]

I'd pony up some money and take up a collection for more to get two particular posters to jump ship.

Why would KS jump ship? He says Greg hurts the team. In that incredible basketball mind, the Blazers now have a better chance at the title.

Go Blazers

What do you mean? If we win the championship this year, it doesn't count?

If Portland wins the title this year it would be greatest underdog story the NBA has ever seen.

Of course I would be absolutely thrilled to be there to see it.


I just find that to be an extremely unlikely result. Right now I am hoping the team can limp into the playoffs and give some team all they can handle in the first round.
