Leave no thread unturned in your efforts to defend LeBron's honor.

Leave no thread unturned in your efforts to defend LeBron's honor.

"It's not who starts the game, it's who finishes the game."

Just heard this from Antonio Harvey on the pregame. I hate that cliche.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Rise with us.

Oh, wait..............

the Clippers are using "Rise" with Blake griffin on the ads.

Jailblazers

We wuz robbed.

That was a brilliant move.

It is what it is. That is very true.

We drafted for need, not talent.

We passed him up because we already had a good player at his position.

It's okay because every other GM made the same mistake.

That's his signature move. That's not a foul. Doesn't the NBA want stars?

Stern has been around 25 years, so we know he's been great.

 

[jlprk]

Oden looks 40 years old. Ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!

This team's potential is so great, I can't wait for a couple of years from now!!!!! We don't need to be looking for trades. Drool as you contemplate our golden future!!!!

Feel free to leave the board, you illiterate troll.

Look at the bright side.
