I think they're jinxing themselves, wait for another career ending injury to one of their players.

too bad Stern wanted to keep 15 teams on the West and 15 teams on the East
typical people use Mississippi river to separate East and West
cities like New Orleans, Memphis are actually on the East side of the river

First of all, what's wrong with the Tweet? Nothing in that tweet is suggesting that Portland is better than Miami or Indy, but the rest of that conference today is absolute trash and has no business in the playoffs.

The Suns reply is hilarious though. Lol.

...And then people complain about "there are no real rivalries today!" "the league is passionless!" "where has the trash talk gone?" "players are too nice to each other nowadays" and so on.

the twit is fine

I like how people are making it seem like the Blazers management and players all collarborated on the tweet.




Take a chill pill already.

Wild wild west. Where no defense and running up and down the court happens.

all the more reason to just have the top 16 teams in the playoffs...no more east vs west stuff.

Wow...sensitive people.

It's just a joke. A lot of team's twitter account do it all the time. Pretty sure the Hawks do it as well.

I think there's humility in the tweet. The 'asking for a friend' stuff usually is code for 'I'm asking for me' and you could take it as Portland just realizing their chances are better in the East than the West which is 100% true. If they were in the East they'd finish the season with a top 3 seed. Since they're in the West they may wind up 6-8. (Or lower)

What the hell are you talking about "stay humble" ? What a ridiculous thing to be sensitive about.

I like the blazers team very much. They just had an impressive home win vs the pacers.

But if you look at it the blazers best chance to make a long run in the playoffs might be out west. There are a lot of good teams out west but I think the two best teams in the NBA are in the east.

I think Portland could outplay san antonio in a 7 game series or the clippers. I don't think they could beat indiana and miami in a 7 game series.

just be careful what you wish for...thats all. There PR should be happy they have a really good team to root for.
