But you can say I told you so? Please tell me why you get the double standard and I don't. You started threads with told you so's, you PM'ed me with Told ya so's. But I can't? Dude, seriously... if you can do it and I can't, that's messed up. I like you, but that's just messed up.
Put me on ignore, I hope you read this. That's not cool for you to pull a double standard with me.

So the Blazers STILL haven't beaten a Western Conference playoff team since what seems like about 3 months. Wait, upon further review, Memphis is tied for #8. If that is the what we have to hold on to for a playoff worthy win......yuck.

We destroyed good Chicago and Memphis teams. Why only pay attention to a loss against a team that has owned us all year? We won't be playing Phoenix in the playoffs.

It's really amazing that our guards get so destroyed against people like Green, Bledsoe, Beverly, (insert every other starting PG/SG out there).
Seriously, what the fuck? Our D struggles because our guards fucking BLOW.

They're not just the best at exposing our weaknesses. Their whole team is one big "Blazer weakness."
They have arguably two of the best finishing guards in the league in Dragic and Bledsoe. They have a ton of three point shooters. They hustle. They run. They're hyper athletic. It's a recipe for disaster for us because they attack the paint and run. We are a halfcourt team. We're built for halfcourt offense and defense. The Suns play small and it fucks with us. How many teams can do what Phoenix does? Almost none.
We actually match up with LAC really well. They're a halfcourt team as well. I'm not as worried about the Clippers. I'm only worried about Houston because of the refs and the bullshit they get away with.

So Memphis means nothing but beating Phoenix would've meant something? They're both in the same position.

Why don't you put him on ignore. He's celebrating a loss, right?

Come on, or are you doing another double standard?

No doubt. You never know what team is going to show up, I don't think home/road matters in the playoffs for this team.

Yes. It comes from crowing about something. And you're telling them to EAT that.

Uh, on defense he does and that was what I was implying. Lets be real. He's awesome on offense, but BLOWS on defense. The dude can't keep ANYONE in front of him. Hell, either can Wes for that matter, he's just better at bodying people when he does lose em.
The Guards defensive struggles is what really fucking kills our team defense.

Our guards dont blow, stotts defensive scheme makes guards look like shit. Go under every pick and funnel the guard to the rim where horrible help defenders like lamarcus can block the shot. His offensive scheme js perfect for the way this team is built. His defensive scheme is not built for the players, its just a percentage game.

Did you feel this way when Lillard had 34 points and 8 assists in our last win?

Nah. He's fine. Defensively he's still bad, but I'm not worried about him.

My fun pass resulted in a piece that received 1389 likes on facebook, featured on the Blazers front page for 1 day, on the front page of Blazers Edge for 3 days and over 1500 views on this website. Compared to the guys from the Portland Mercury and Williamette week who sat next to me and either didn't write about anything or if they did they didn't get 1/6th of the hits I think I made this forum look good. While not me (because I suck) I think I proved that writers like you, BlazerCaravan and others should be representing this forum on press row. Every game someone from RipCityTwo should be there.

Don't worry. He's had it out for me for awhile, he was looking for something. I love KS. I let the emotions get the best of me, but I wasn't crowing. I just took a lot of shit from people for being even a little hesitant saying we'd win out. I wanted this win bad, I hate PHX!!!

Portland pissed on Dallas shoes tonight.. this is a reason why we lose tonights game. i had the feeling we lose this and hope that dallas not clinched the playoffs late in the season. im with the suns as with mavs this is a fact as blazer fan.. so the team think the same shit..When the Clippers lose to easy against Dallas last night. so the Blazers says if you lose to easy.. we can lose also easy..
