Still waiting for you to pick me up for the Country Fair.

Not to derail this too bad, but lets hope he can assemble a team that doesn't get swept in the first round with home court advantage.

This post can wait till tomorrow, for now, go fuck yourself

I mean, this is kimd of related, but some people like to analyze what they see whether it's the good or the bad. Ok one of those types of people. When people say "So and So is struggling with this", or "So and so shouldn't get minutes because of this, and he's struggling with that right now", is that what bothers you? There's other posts that I understand why it could be annoying. I'm just trying to understand.

I used to really love the old trailblazers game threads back in the day...talking about what you were snacking on and posting WES!!! NICO!!! etc....now I think a game thread is like a live game...and the people you share the game with are sitting with you....go from there....I just now find I have to change seats to enjoy the game...nothin' personal...it's a change in Blazer game culture that's slowly been smothered with negative affirmations...which to me have no place in a live game....personal choice. I don't want to cheer next to someone bitching about my team all the time so I change seats...pretty simple really...I really loved this summer league. I just log out of the thread mostly these days. I like my smack talk to be aimed at the other team.

I think your portray some people as constantly bitching even when it's about 50/50, and they're just talking about an aspect of the game, whether it's positive or negative. There are some people who constantly complain just to complain, but mostly everyone is either positive, like you, or fairly analytical, and state fair a honest opinions. I think it's nice that there's a collection of different people who enjoy and observe the game in different ways. If you don't like some of that, it's completely fine. Now I'm not saying I'm above this at all, I just don't see the point in complaining about anything outside of targeted negativity and trolling. People enjoy the games in different ways, thats not going to change, and I don't think that's a bad thing, so I don't think complaints about that are warranted.

The real question here is: Was the 2018 Blazers team the greatest summer league team of all time?

yeah, because they are constantly bitching...like I said...I just log off....used to be way more humor and comradery in my view...it's not difficult for me to just not hang there much...you guys enjoy it however you like...we have a zillion threads to critique players in....my opinion..that's not what gametime should be..to each his own...Go Blazers. I'm really not looking for approval here

 

[riverman]

I don't think that's a bad thing, so I don't think complaints about that are warranted.

yeah......ok to complain about coaches, players etc...but not fans...gotcha….it was a very small part of my post ...and for the 4th time....enjoy it however you like....understand that some don't enjoy that aspect and we won't need to keep defining it.

I know your not, I'm just having a discussion.

Regularly complaining about a type of viewer isn't going to create comradery, it'll just create divide and arguments. There's no reason there couldn't be both.

It's fine to not like it. That's completely fine. And your complaints usually aren't bad, I'm just trying to point out how, by complaining about people who like to analyze what's happening, the only result would be more of what you don't like (arguments, divide, lack of comradery, etc.)

humor.....used to be tons of it...not so much these days...that's what I enjoy...and smack talking about the Lakers...even more fun.

I understand your point man, I'm just trying ti find a common ground so hopefully game threads could be more enjoyable for the both of us going forward.

They were the Detroit Pistons, no superstar but a lot of guys who are good and know their rolls.

Raymond Felton really knows his rolls

Still waiting for you to pick me up for the Country Fair.

I tried, but the half-naked 22-year olds I sent to your house said you were passed out by the time they got to your house.

Where can i get one of those shirts?

KJ Mcdaniels with the MVP!

.....AAAAAAND back to the G league...

Hahaha

Just goes to show you LeBron done fucked up choosing the Lakers over us. Should have signed with the champs

You guys are on a roll!!!

I'm not sure about the copyright stuff but a buddy of mine prints up t-shirts for the Blazers all the time. I'll ask him about Summer League Championship shirts. I'm sure he would print some up for us. What would people pay for something like that?

I’d buy one.

Finally, we can stop talking about 1977 and start talking about 2018!

I'm headed down to stake out my spot on Broadway.

Good luck kicking me out.

Classic spawn of another five pages of debates. That’s a champion post right there.

So has Neil let WBIV walk yet?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

What made it extra sweet was the massive Lakers love-fest that had to sit and watch them get demolished from start to finish. Magic, Simmons, Lance Stephenson...

And the Summer-League MVP getting ejected was just icing on the cake.
