Putting aside that you ignore context, changes with the Pels this year, injuries with the Pels, and the idea that teams/players can you know...grow and improve without making a huge addition...

Hood, Kanter, and Curry have been very decent roster additions for Portland.

This isn't the same team as last year. Just like the Pels aren't the same team.


We get it- you are disappointed in this conference finals match up. You can just say that. You can just say "it should be Houston- too bad they had so many injuries" or whatever.

But you dial it up to stupid and try to claim that this is the same Portland team as last year- when that is objectively not true- and this is why you get clowned on here so much.

Even when you have a decent point, you fuck it up.

Cuz you add extra commentary that makes it clear you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Which is weird, because you are on here all the fucking time.

Its why people pile on you. And you have the power to stop it. Stop saying objectively untrue shit. Especially when you don't even need to.

How can you be this big of a basketball fan, and get simple facts wrong all the time? For no real reason too.

You can have your "this is a weak conference finals"- but you add on with all this other untrue shit that just makes you look silly.


Now, the east vs west inbalance is a lot better this year. Objectively true.


Portland is better this year than last season. Objectively true.


Are they the 2nd best team in the west? No. But they are here mostly because of Houston's season. That happens.

They have proven they are at least the 4th best team (if not 3rd) in the west. Objectively true. Ask OKC.

All that young talent in LA couldn't even sniff the playoffs in a western conference that isn't as strong as last season. Also, objectively true.


I'm not even a Blazers fan (though I think hating them is odd as fuck), but I'm tired of you saying untrue, stupid shit.
