    Let's see what you think of them when Pryzbilla and Blake start flopping all over the place.

    When you see a team 6 or 7 times straight you begin to hate them because their real be some heated moments in a playoff series.

    did everyone just forget what the blazers tried to do to darius miles...? You know... The whole "sign him and we'll have you investigated and possibly sued" ordeal? Real classy.

    But that's nothing compared to the jazz. I loathe the jazz

    classy?

    good point, blink, there was the Paul Allen debacle with Miles this year, but in general, the city of Portland is happy with their team because of the content of their character. The fans pretty much demanded that the organization get rid of the Jailblazer persona and bring in quality individuals with class and dignity, similar to a franchise we are all familiar with...

    They turned around their team nicely, now let's send them home for the summer...

    i love watching portland play.. they're a young and engergetic group that plays well together... i'll be rooting for them to fail miserably against our Rockets but they're definitely going to be a force in the west for years to come

    We should hate Portland just for the fact that they got Brandon Roy when we wanted him.

    Hate Minnesota and Portland. :mad:

    But seriously I respect their players though they play good ball.

    Portland gave us Clyde. For that I think as far as the franchise competitiveness spectrum goes they are one of our friendlier ones.

    Everybody hates the Jazz though. They screwed Cleveland hard with the Boozer deal (just imagine Boozer and Lebron today, they might already have a championship), and Phil Jackson considers them a joke. Zero championships is karma biting them in the ass for the way they attempted to achieve their success.

    Ok, Portland homers, Brandon Roy is a big flopper. I can't believe none of you have realized this so far but you will.

    he's the best in class in terms of flopping. no one flops twice in a row in a single play like he does. :D

    Could we leave the religious crap out of the GARM, please? While I adhere to the Groucho creed that (paraphrased) I wouldn't belong to a religion that would have me as a member, saying the kinds of things you said in that post are both offensive, unfair, and inappropriate, especially in this forum. That respect you talk about here should include respect for people that have a different religious belief than you do.

    Want to toss that salad? Take it to D&D.

    Sorry but that is the biggest crock of *$@# i have ever herd. Every team plays physical with Roy and he takes it like a man i watch every Blazers game and i can not recall seeing him flop. I have seen him take charges but thats a good thing.

    It had something to do with his contract and cap room. I dont remember the details that sums it up.

    If I remember correctly Rick Adelman led them few times deeper into playoffs.

    WCF or NBA Finals, I'm not sure.

    Comments like these are when we lose our intellectual honesty and credibility. You just disparaged an entire community because you felt there would be no social repercussions -- since they are white and mormon. Why don't we just all condone painting with such broad, hyperbolic strokes against all different races and religions and see how well that works. Good job.
