Welcome to Hell, Blazer fans.

[jlprk]

Here's how I tell you apart.

Nate keeps a wish list of upcoming bans. There is blood on his lips from his last meal.

Brian writes official-looking reports analyzing basketball. They appear ready for submission to his CO.

Sly swaggers around like John Wayne. He's the most confident, and probably the fattest, of the three.

 

[THE HCP]

45 wins


Sent from my baller ass iPhone 5 FAMS!

This is my bad! I thought we were talking about win totals at the All-Star break.

Sly is a fatty. I had to roll him into the Rose Garden when we went to a game.

I'm still waiting for you to mess up so I can drop the hammer on you.

Hahahahaha! Rep'd.

Whatever, you doubted the team. I'm going to forward that prediction to Dame.

WTF are you talking about? I admit I could lose 20lbs but I'm hardly fat.

Sorry Sly, you're "pleasantly plump."

My bad

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Sorry Sly, you're "pleasantly plump."

That's better.

It can be good or bad. It depends on what you're using him for that day.

 

[BBert]

The crash isn't coming. I was wrong. I deserve to be trashed in this forum for being so pessimistic.

Trash away!

I hope this prediction is better than your other one.

Hey, more cushion for the pushing

Fun bump. Classy response by maxie. Go team!

 

[oldmangrouch]

Keep a stiff upper lip Maxie!

Sometimes, fate likes to toy with optimists by temporarily making them think they were right. When things inevitably go wrong, the crushing of that false hope lends a delicious tang to the taste of their tears.

 

[Eastoff]

Awesome! I will tell everyone on this board that this is the most delicious crow I've ever tasted. I am thrilled to have been so completely, utterly and thoroughly wrong.

Go Blazers!

Best poster in this thread!

If this is Hell, I like it. It's a dry heat.

You lying, back-sliding, jawing mother trucker!

 

[maxiep]

I knew Hell would be Red Hot, but I had no idea it would be Rollin'!

Let's keep the abuse coming! You know if we sucked this year, there would be "realistic" posters calling out Mags and KS, so we who were pessimistic deserve the same throttling.

FYI, we would have to go 2-40 the rest of the way to equal last year's record. No matter how the rest of the year turns out, what an amazing team and what an amazing run! How sweet it is to be so wrong. Thanks to the team for putting me and my prognostication abilities in my place.

Not even Rommel could command a tank that incredibly.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I don't know--he went on a pretty epic 2-year losing streak...

Bring back Canales!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Ending with the shuttering of his team, yeah. Good point.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Bring back Canales!

I suppose if we started Meyers at PG and refused to sub in any players, just playing 5 every night, we could do it...

EDIT: did you know it's legal to have fewer than 5 players on the court? We could play 1 on 5 every night.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I would love to see one of the best teams play one of the worst teams 4 on 5 just to see how it would work out.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Best reverse-jinx thread EVER.

Now....... what do we do about mook and his jinxing injury thread? Do we burn him at the stake? Make him change his avatar?

Didn't GSW have to do that to us a couple of years back, when they had so many injuries that they dressed 8 and 2 fouled out? I think it was the last game of the season...

I believe you are correct. Was thinking more for the whole game just to see how well the team with 5 could scheme to take advantage of it (and vice-versa).

I was at that game, and it was even weirder. They had 8 guys but in reality one of their 8 active players was injured (ankle or something). When one of their players fouled out (in fact it might have been their third, leaving them with only five players with fouls to give), the GSW coach wanted to envoke the "bring back a fouled out player" rule but the problem was, the refs made the coach put in their 8th legal player, the guy who was injured. They made him take his brace off, go in the game, then foul us to stop play and leave the game because of "an injury". Then Golden State brought back in a fouled out player, and subsequently won the game against us.

IT WAS SURREAL.

Looks like it was even weirder than I remember, with two players injured and active, with both having to come in, then leave with an injury to envoke the rule.

I was at that game. It was really a weird moment. Crazy that the Warriors still won.
