The optimism (this season) about the Blazers is ludicrous

Optimism - its what fans do! And we have it to piss off the "glass is half empty" cry babies.

You advocated us drafting Marquis freaking Teague over Lillard. You dug yourself so far in a hole emotionally that you're now crossing your fingers that Lillard won't pan out when its obvious he will.

I didn't dig myself into anything....but your constant attacks on me are pretty pathetic.....

This.

It's preseason. Everyone is tied for first place. If there is ever a time to be optimistic it's now.

I'm optimistic about the year and I think the team will struggle to win 32 games. A decent pick in the lottery and some cap space for the summer will take care of the issue at SG, hopefully, but that doesn't mean I am not excited to watch the team grow this year, and LMA develop into a true franchise player.

Why is that ridiculous?

well said and I agree on the SG position, that position and quality depth are our big needs. While Wes may improve some this yr I just don't think he's the longer term SG answer, he'd be a good 6th man to have. I have to look at who is available as an SG FA next summer, or perhaps at SF if we instead decide to use Nic at SG.
