For instance, on a message board where A. You can't hear the tone of a person's voice. Sarcasm relies heavily on this so next time use green font; and B. There are enough idiots on here where if someone asks me what a play is, I'm more inclined to believe they actually don't know than they are being sarcastic C. The way you said LOL and added ???? made it seem like you were seriously asking or just an idiot

Here's how I would've said it: Play? What is this "play" you speak of?

[/sarcasm 101]

For the record, I IMMEDIATELY knew he was being sarcastic. Consider yourself incorrect by fact.

Isn't Portland pretty young too? I get that more experience always helps, but it's not like Portland is a crafty older team that is getting by on guile and experience.

we dont have enough veterans! all our player are young as hell aside from dwight. cisco is a spotty player so he doesnt count. bevley plays to his level so he's off the hook. everyone else tho, inexperienced (some with soft, sore vaginas). we need vets. im still having a hard time digesting this. ugh

but first thing, what we really need is a new head coach. i dont care if its karl, i'll take him over mchale. if mchale will accept an assistant coach job then keep him. if not, then let him piss off some other team's fan base.

HOW DO YOU NOT DOUBLE ALDRIDGE?? lord have mercy on your soul. let him go for 100 so he gets fired right after the game

they got mo off the bench. a bounch of seasoned vets. maybe being too young means you have a soft and sore vagina? i dunno

lol incorrect by fact..... that's a new one. k well im just saying you can't assume everyone can spot sarcasm on a message board. Like I said, there's no way to add a tone to friggin words on a screen, that's why people use the green font. If you wanna consider me an idiot for that then by all means, go ahead. Seems like you're blowing a small thing way out of proportion though

This sucked to watch. I like Barkley, I just hate it when he's right about our team not winning.

Howard wasn't dominating coming out of half time. It looked like he was getting a lot of the looks, but adjustments were made that ameleorated some of the damage. What was alarming to me was Alrdige switched on to Dwight in the opening minutes of the 2nd half and the cool down started shortly after.

I'd like to return the favor in the second half and get away from single coverage for the 4. I know Portland has a lot of 3 point shooters and smart players that can get open, but I'd rather Robin Lopez beat us then another career night from Lillard or Aldridge. We have got to deny the star players the ball better.

Dwight looked less aggressive probably due to quick fouls. All of Dwight's shots looked good, got really great looks and with LMA guarding Dwight it slowed his own offense down too.

Dwight is doing more than his part, who knew Harden would go MIA for the 2nd straight year.

Yeah, LMA is really making his case to be a max player when his contract is up after next year. He was making some seemingly easy looks pretty difficult.

I agree that foul trouble slowed Dwight down, especially since he only played 5 minutes in the 3rd quarter after picking up his fourth.

Harden and Parsons... Good grief. Come on kids.

The reason for the losses is simply. The game were Blazers VS Howard or Harden or Parson. If the games were Blazers VS Rockets, the Rockets can easily won both game.

I understand why Parson want to put up high number, but H&H? They are already on max. If you want a ring, then play team ball. Even LBJ/Wade said ISO cannot win and they changed to play team ball. Like magic, they won 2 championship. Probably a 3rd one this year too.

Can anyone tell me what Jeremy Lin was trying to accomplish on that last play by dribbling around like that? Harden wouldn't have fouled out if Jeremy just passed him the damn ball. And everyone else was just standing around doing nothing, did McHale even tell them to run a play?

No time to do this:



*PS: at the exchange.

They have been together longer, they have a coach, they have a point guard, they have a leader, they have been consistent.
