Forum Game Whose fault will it be: Draft lottery edition

[Mediocre Man]

It’s back, bitches and bitchers. The Blazers absolutely fucked themselves this season, but you can’t win the lottery if you don’t play. Most likely these fucktards fall, but hope springs eternal, and it is spring, after all. Love all you guys

Joe's for picking a guy who was almost undrafted in the second round to land us the highest pick possible...the ill advised reverse jinx! Ayton is the number one pick on our roster...

 

[crandc]

LaRue Martin. Permanently jinxed Blazers #1 picks.

 

[Hoopguru]

I blame the City of Chicago.....be the last fucking city Id's trust with a lotto of any kind.

 

[inconceivable]

It's no one's fault. We're winning the lottery baby. Go Blazers!!

 

[Quatro44]

Ping-pong balls are the problem. If the NBA wanted to do it right, they would use basketballs.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Bert and Jody

[RonBrewer]

Such a loser mentality to throw games to gain 10 more ping pong balls out of 100.

 

[andalusian]

The chilled envelope and David Stern's ghost

 

[kjironman1]

Win or lose I’m blaming the BALLS!

 

[blazerkor]

It'll be the illuminati, always is and there's just no way around it.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I blame Toumani Camara, This guy is a great defender, but he can't stop all of the other lottery teams from picking before us. I'd also like to take this opportunity to blame the number 11, which is where I feel we will be drafting

the ghost of the 2007 lottery strikes again!

Blazers, just like the Jeffersons, are MOVIN' ON UP BABY!!!!!!!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[PtldPlatypus]

When we get jumped by two teams, I will blame Sesame Street for that song by which all GenX kids and many millennials learned to count to 12

 

[RonBrewer]

Here we go

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Given the options, I hope it's the 6ers. But the fact that the Spurs and Mavs are both top 4 pisses me off

 

[HailBlazers]

the Fakers obviously

 

[Chris Craig]

The rigged ass NBA

 

[Mediocre Man]

Hated that.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Well at least we didn't tank

 

[RonBrewer]

Exactly. Win now, get this team reps. Make a trade or two.

The time is now. Tanking is for pussies.

Except the guys we wanted to get reps didn't get the reps we need them to get for us to know what they are...

We have as many questions about Scoot and Sharpe as we had before this season.

So wasted reps and wasted time. Arguably counterproductive season for the young guys we are counting on being stars, all so we can get the same caliber of pick we've been missing on for decades.

Definitely, a couple well timed trades could put us on the level of San Antonio, OKC, Cleveland, etc...

All we have to do is trade the guys we don't want for guys who are better than the guys we already have! It'll be easy!

And tanking is still for Pussies. Chess players and tantrum throwers.

You can call San Antonio, Golden State, Boston, Philadelphia, OKC, and Milwaukee pussies if you want.

While you're at it, most of those pussies will likely have their foots so far up our asses that we can taste their pedicure.

Everyone else will call them NBA champions. Or elite.

We don't have the 300 future picks OKC did to build their roster.

 

[Phatguysrule]

We don't have the 300 future picks OKC did to build their roster.

Which means we'd have to be on a slower build than them. It would take careful planning and patience... Which our ownership and/or management team clearly doesn't have.

They certainly don't but we don't really have a choice in the matter.

 

[Phatguysrule]

They certainly don't but we don't really have a choice in the matter.

Or maybe they're just going to be the best management and coaching staff in the league and just "pritchslap" the rest of the league repeatedly on our way to a dynasty...
