The Blazers beat Phoenix twice...

[OddEnormous]

What was our roster when we beat the Spurs 3 times? Were we missing our best player for all of them?

Yeah and still won.

Portland > San Antonio.

You're the one who thinks seeding doesn't mean one team is better than another.

The concept of this thread is that we're supposed to be happy because we did better than SA did vs. the Suns.

The Spurs were worse than us. So why/how is it some sort of accomplishment that we did better vs the Suns than them?

We should have done better.


Jesus Christ, how shitty of a franchise are we?

No. I'm saying that before the second round started, most people would have probably said that the Spurs team that played the Suns was a better team than the Blazer team that played the Suns. (No Brandon, Not much Batum, Camby injured).

Therefore, seedings are irrelevant in this context because the two teams we are comparing are not the two teams that earned those seedings.

The concept of the thread is to keep things in perspective. There probably aren't too many here that thought that:
(Blazers) - (Roy, Batum, and some of Camby) > (Spurs healthy)

The Suns beating the healthy Spurs, while struggling more with an injured Blazer team, shows that when we add Roy and Oden, with a healthy Batum and Camby might be a very strong team.

Spurs have been a lottery team for 2 years now, edged into the playoffs only by preferential officiating.

We'd have swept them easily even with our depleted lineup had we gotten past the Suns.

Lottery team? The Spurs beat the 2nd best team in the West in 6 games a few weeks ago. People forget that.

If someone has flat out decided to bitch and moan, you are wasting your breath trying to cheer them up.

No it isn't.

That's not the concept at all.


Original Post: The Blazers beat Phoenix twice... That's gotta mean something, given their destruction of the Spurs.

Me: How does a team who is worse than us winning fewer games than us vs another team mean anything other than they are worse than us?


Why would you assume they'd do anything other than worse than we did?

They:

- Were a lower seed
- Lost every game against us
- Won fewer games than we did vs. a common opponent in the playoffs.

The only thing it means is what most of us already assumed...

The Portland trailblazers were better than the San Antonio Spurs in the 2009-2010 NBA season.

It means NOTHING more than that.

Finally, I have NO idea how some of you are concluding that because the Spurs were swept, Portland would have won more game with Roy and Oden.

You don't see how the possibility that the Blazers, EVEN WITHOUT Roy, Oden and Batum, are better than the healthy Spurs team, that just beat Dallas in a 7 game series, might mean something? Especially to those who want to blow up the team and rebuild?

Alrighty.

Might mean what?

Please tell me, what the fuck that tedious trail of nothingness means.

"Especially to those who want to blow up the team and rebuild?"

LOLZ!

Yes, the second the Spurs got swept I ran outside and screamed to the Heavens...

"Take THAT, those of you whom I've never met or heard of who want to blow this Blazers team up... TAKE THAT YOU CVNTS!!!!! The LOWER seeded Spurs did worse against the Suns than we did... ah ha ha ha, AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WWWAAAAHHHHHHHHh HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

3 of you are actually.

Just status quo...

Perhaps they aren't getting enough attention at home. I think it is called "Kingspeed-itice".

Oh... so responding to posts on a message board is now "trying too hard" and or "attention seeking."


Great stuff you big girls.

Don't respond to my posts if you don't want me to respond to yours....

OR...

May I suggest getting yourselves a typewriter so nobody will ever disagree with you again.

Have you two worked out what Utah being swept by LAL means to the Blazers winning 2 games vs. the Suns? It must mean SOMETHING right?

 

[Strike]

Yep. The Blazers swept the season series against the Spurs. They were still eliminated.
Yep. The Blazers won 2 more games against the Suns than the Spurs did. They were still eliminated.
Yep. The Blazers were better than the Spurs this year. They were still eliminated.

Basically, the Blazers are still fishing, just like the Spurs. But congratulations on being better than the Spurs this season.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't remind you responding to my posts. I don't mind if you feel the need to call me names or anything, if you think that helps you get your point across.

Looks like someone needs some attention.

Poor thing.

Fair enough.

I don't mind your insults either which are just high class name calling.

I just tend not to beat around the bush.

Both of these made me audibly laugh. Bravo.

Ahem.....


WOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHHHHHHH.....

Thanks for remembering by the way

Your lack of self awareness is my favorite thing about you.

I come here and type at people for attention, where as you come here to type at people for what?

To not be noticed?

Keep it coming. My point just keeps getting proven over and over.

Are you going to answer my question or continue to dodge it with more utter nonsense?

I fully admit (As I have full self awareness) that I post on this message board for some level of attention. I want people to respond to my opinions.

I can't think of any other reason someone would post on a message board.

So why do you post here?

Are you being sponsored by friends and family? Are you getting $.25 per character to fight cancer?

Awaiting another flippant response as it slowly sinks in that you are no different than me other than being a thousand times less memorable.
