The bottom line is...

[KingSpeed]

....if Oden made those two free throws, we're 3-2. And if Miller doesn't choke on two layups at the end of the Atlanta game, we're 4-1.

All we need are minor adjustments. Oden won't miss those free throws again and Miller will finish, right?

 

[blue32]

and if we had James, we'd be champions last year.

It's true. If LeBron really wants to win 7 titles and pass MJ then he should take a paycut and come to Portland. Blake/Roy/LeBron/LMA/Oden would win at LEAST 7 titles. At LEAST. There's no better team in the league for LeBron to win titles with.

LeBron can't get 7 titles with that bunch. 2 or 3 maybe, but not 7.

I thought the season was over?

You really need to backoff with this stuff man. It gets annoying have to parse through so many garbage, emotional-swing posts.

Thanks.

Sometimes he claims its all a joke and just trying to get a rise out of people....yeah...

Can a POR fan troll a POR board or is that impossible by definition?

I know. I've been on these boards for about 8 years. But it seems like it is getting worse.

Maybe it just seems worse now that there are so many other posters doing the same/similar meltdown routine.

2005= no playoffs for Lakers

Smush Parker and Kwame Brown (for Caron Butler!)

Well thank god it's not Roy, Blake, Rudy, Outlaw, Nate or Martell's fault. Clearly it's 100% on Oden and Miller glad that's sorted.

Wait, I thought he was the one being level headed here.

I agree with KS here. If Oden maks his FT's, doesnt that change the "feel" of this team right now. If you were 3-2 with close loses and close wins, would there be as many "the sky is falling posts?"

I think that's pretty good for a team playing 5 on 8.

But, Nate might have LeBron come off the bench behind Webster/Batum so as to not disrupt continuity!

Well let's see Donaghy said the Blazers and Kings were jobbed in 2000 and 2002 (that's minus two titles) I personally say Lakers were jobbed in game 2 of the finals 07/08 which swung it to Boston (+1 ring). Kwame for Pau only would happen to the Lakers. Shaq only signs with them because of their cap busting advertisement deals that one only gets in LA. So yeah, it's good to be LA. Players want to go, and refs hand the whistle over after opening tap. Even the Lakers announcers said that last foul on Hayes was BS. Props to Bynum for icining them though.

I expect the Lakers to win forever. Legitimate or not? The world may never know. An Ex-FBI agent specializaing in Organized Crime prosecution says Donaghy was telling the truth, and we all know he is in our guts. Yay for a world so corrupt it's the only thing you can count on anymore! I'm considering betting in favor of LA winning another title and on individual games. The one nice thing about a rigged game is you can make money if you know it's rigged.

You mean the HACK that strained Bynum's elbow, had to have an MRI, and is now missing tonights game because of that HACK....please tell me thats not the one you are referring to.

Im sure Bynum is missing tonights game just to prove a point...Oh crap just thought of the bet between me and NateBishop....shit, lol Oden will be a game up on Bynum so far!

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Every game cannot be that close if the Blazers are going to be a contender, so there is reason for alarm even if we had won. I like the effort that Houston is showing but we should have blown them out in the opener and down there.

Based on KingSpeed's previous posts, what I infer from his posts is that he's trying to say "Relax, guys, it's all the fault of Miller and Oden. Everyone else is doing great. If they hadn't single-handedly lost two games, the team would have a good record." That's not very level-headed, if my interpretation is right.

The Lakers didn't get the FT edge in that Kings series, they got screwed Game 2/5 IIRC.

 

[LittleAlex]

The Lakers will almost always be a good team. Their fans demand it and the team has enough cash and appeal to get nearly any player they want.

That's just reality. Sucks, but what can you do?

If I was a young NBA player who is making millions of dollars and my choices of where to play are LA or Portland, 9 out of 10 times LA is going to be destination. Unless Portland WAY over pays to bring them here.

 

[julius]

If there is a bottom line, is there ever a "top line"?

 

[MARIS61]

....if Oden made those two free throws, we're 3-2. And if Miller doesn't choke on two layups at the end of the Atlanta game, we're 4-1.

So if we outplayed the other teams, or had special rules for ours, we'd win more games?

 

[oldguy]

Why would you have Oden in your multi-championship lineup if you think he hurts the team more than he helps?

 

[The Sebastian Express]

I mostly just like how Kingspeed is saying if Oden made those free throws we'd win despite the fact Denver would have had 4 seconds left with a one point deficit. I believe Miller's layups were missed with a minute or 40 some seconds left so Atlanta would have had plenty of time itself. Considering how we were guarding the perimeter they probably would have still won.

But who cares about such silly things as time left in regulation?
