We should have sign Lamarcus Aldridge, would have beat the Warriors.

bay area is wack, bro.

BTW there's some guy on twitter trying to get a bay area blazers fan thing going. who knows if he'll be able to pull it off.

Whatever his reasons/problems, LA didn't want to be in Portland. I watched a few of his games with the Spurs and it was hard to believe it was the same guy, watching how hard he ran after loose balls and the effort he put into the little things he didn't do here.

No argument that LA, even with the effort he put in while in Portland, is an awesome weapon, and he'd have changed the matchups in a very tangible way. However, if he's here, there's still almost certainly be issues over the team leadership, the chemistry almost certainly would have suffered. The more I read about LA's attitude, the more I am glad he's not in Portland mucking things up.

Bay Area is whack (San Jose in particular) . . . expensive as hell, not much to do without having to drive hours aways, drought, occasional earthquakes, shitty airport for being the hear of Silicon Valley, etc. But every city's got it's downfalls.

Speaking of which, doesn't this nimrod have anything better to do? It's an absolutely picture perfect day in the Bay today - get out and enjoy the weather; celebrate your (#1 seed) team's victory over the 5th seed instead of trolling the opposing team's forum. Tells you everything you need to know about this joker.

And btw, cut the GSW fans some slack . . . they do have to go to Oakland to watch the games. I am thankful every time I'm able to leave Oakland with all my belongings and my life. Be thankful you don't live in that abomination of a city.

Ive spent a little time in San Jose, that place is HUGE!!!!. I dont think most people know that San Jose is the third largest in the bay area and damn near second.
Walking the downtown streets of San Jose, I found myself feeling that there were an unusually high percentage of wackos walking around compared to other cities I have trekked. IT might have to do with all the liqueur stores I passed too though...

San Jose has just over 1 million residents and, I believe, is the largest city in the Bay Area (I think you meant to say that SJ is the 3rd largest city in CA?). SF has under 900k residents but everyone is packed into a much smaller area. Even then, I don't think of SJ as huge; LA is huge, I spent a few years after college in LA and have lots of family down there and it never ceases to amaze me what a sprawling mass of civilization it is. SJ is nothing compared to that - and downtown SJ is probably one of the worst of any metropolitan city I've been to. Despite the massive amounts of money here, our skyline is totally unremarkable due to the proximity of the airport which limits building heights. Not much culture to speak of. But SF definitely way more wackos per capita than SJ - not sure where you were hanging out

What we do have is good weather, good paying jobs, and great real estate. We bought our house at the right time and it has quadrupled in price . . . and some point in the not so distant future after career winds down and kids head off to school, we'll likely cash out and get the hell out of here (this is, if our city and house haven't fallen into the ocean by then).

There are some nice areas in Oakland. I almost lived in Piedmont about 4 or 5 years ago - probably a nicer area than anywhere I have ever seen in San Jose. However, Oakland at large is a mess - and east-bay traffic is awful.

No, that's San Antonio. Ever been? The Alamo is like a single story hut and The Riverwalk like a glorified stream...talk about a depressing city.

THE MARINA IS THE ONLY PLACE IN THE BAY AREA WORTH LIVING IN.

According to us Blazer fans we almost beat the Golden Stat Warriors (in reality we lost a 5 game series when the best player in the world and NBA's only unanimous MVP didn't even play the first 3 games, and did not start in the 4th)

Okay back to fantasy land, so since we were so *close* to beating the Warriors do you think we would of advance to the WCF if we had re-signed Lamarcus Aldridge?

Let's discuss.

Fuck him. He didn't want to be here. He wanted all the perqs of being a leader with none of the responsibility. I just hope his knee explodes Oden-style.

Never been to San Antonio. But lived in the Bay Area for 4 years. San Jose has nice people but I just remember a lot bumps and gridlock. Don't take it personal. It's like Portland hipster and rainy. Just the way it is.

If you can afford it, my favorite is Marin county. All the perks of the big-city stuff you can find in the Bay Area with less of the traffic hassles, better scenery and if you can afford it - a skip and jump to downtown San Francisco. Personally I also found being at a somewhat reasonable distance from a proper race track a selling point.

Eh, ethnicity has nothing to do with hating the constant fog that the Marina is engulfed in. Nor is the like of the better scenery and lesser traffic. It is not as if the Marina is a cheap place where anyone can buy residence easily. I honestly do not have any ethnicity information about the Marina neighborhood - but I would be surprised if it is much different than Sausalito or Laskspur or any other expensive neighborhood/town in Marin county.

They are being blamed for creating a housing crisis, shoving generations of families out of their long-time neighborhoods, and causing income disparities in this once-upon-a-time daisy-scented city that long thrived as a haven for free spirits, artists, an impressive gay community, and a lot of wonderfully self-professed weirdos.

But on this particular night I blamed them for getting me so drunk I could barely open the Uber app on my phone.

OP makes it sound like it was the Blazers who decided to deny LMA the opportunity to "be the best Blazer ever"... if you are going to troll, at least make it somewhat believable. Otherwise, in the great words of blazer boy30 :

[Minstrel]

"As a fellow Blazers fan, which I totally am, we should be angry at god for taking away our title hopes (by which I mean, us Blazers fans' title hopes) by having Aldridge walk. Instead of being suspicious of our fellow Blazers fans, I believe that fans of my favorite team, the Blazers, should rally around discussing our collective anger. Also, we should discuss the greatness of the Warriors, I hate them--as do we all--but they sure are good, damn their eyes."

There used to be an art to trolling...now they're letting just anyone do it, with disastrous results.
