of course they will shoot that well again. The Blazers have shot 43% from 3 this year, and they’ve played teams that are good defensively.

Granted there was one shot by Steve Blake in the 3rd quarter right before the shot clock buzzer that was lucky, but the other 5 were uncontested.

what, do you want him to drive into the lane and have it get blocked just because the game is over?

That’s ridiculous. Your team would be better off if they quit thinking about things like that and actually tried to stop him from 3.

:)

Wasn’t that one in concert with an impending shot clock violation? Maybe they called the violation but I thought that the block came first.

Somewhat abrasive, but you’ve got to call a spade a spade once in a while.

The Blazers look really good, and rightly they should have with the kings missing 3 of their top 8. The three point shooting was a bit of an aberration and Fernandez did shoot a few when the game was all but over. I would like to see how the Kings respond in a few days, hopefully with less zone and stronger perimeter defense. As for your playoff prediction I have two things to say- 1) Even if the Kings made the playoffs they wouldn’t play your beloved Blazers because 7 and 8 seeds don’t play each other in the first round and neither of these teams are getting out of the first round. 2) Your pinning your hopes on a young team that is one likely injury away from playing out the season with Joel Pryzbilla as your starting center- enough said.

Please don’t come in here and use pre-season victories as proof of your dominance, it wreaks of ignorance as does your writing ability. Good luck to the Blazers, they are a nice up and coming team that look to be a season or two away from competing, barring injury.

So much for intelligent conversation.

What do you know of honor, coming to a Kings blog and being a pissant?

You read the “no complete idiots” rule, right?

I will make a fool of you.

We do not say yalls in Portland. I don’t know where this clown is from.

I now believe that 98% of Blazer fans are tools.

and you’re trolling another team’s website. My, what a life you’ve carved out for yourself.

I’m going to compare a few quotes, taken directly from your posts and my own.

Need proof that the Blazers are better? We stomped on ya’ll during the preseason and we’ll do it again when you come to our house.

Which I responded with:

Please don’t come in here and use pre-season victories as proof of your dominance, it wreaks of ignorance

And to this you responded with:

Also… i’m not using our preaseaon WHOMPING as proof of anything, i’m just showing how we can take control against this junk-fest of a team even with your beloved Kevin Martin.

Clearly you have contradicted yourself here.

Again, a quote of yours:

Sorry to say but Rip City is back and the royalty from down south ain’t gonna get a look at the playoffs any time soon. Even if they do… they wont succeed past the Blazers, ever, and I mean ever.

I responded with:

Even if the Kings made the playoffs they wouldn’t play your beloved Blazers because 7 and 8 seeds don’t play each other in the first round and neither of these teams are getting out of the first round.

Maybe “succeed past the Blazers” is what threw me for a loop. I assume that “succeed past” refers to either the Kings beating the Blazers in a play-off series or the Blazers making it into a later round of the play-offs than the Kings. I would also like to point out that using “ever” is a little short sided, especially when you “mean ever”.

My response reflected my opinion that neither the Blazers or the Kings are better than a 7 or 8 seed and have little chance of moving past the first round which would be required for them to play each other.

Your response:

I didn’t mean the Blazers would FACE the Kings if they, by some miraculous miracle, made the play-offs. I simply mean’t they wouldn’t do as much as the Blazers have the potential to against the Western Confrence should they even make it (but they won’t)

Kind of back pedaling now aren’t you? The Kings “wouldn’t do as much as the Blazers have the potential to”? So the Kings can win the Western Conference, I guess, if the Blazers have the “potential” to win a championship? Can the Kings lose in game 7 of the finals if the Blazers had the potential to win it? Just a little clarification is needed because first it was “ever” and now you’ve thrown in this “potential” thing and I’m a little confused.

Maybe I will wake up tomorrow and find you have new and improved stance proving that Saturdays posts where nothing more than an aberration (A departure from the normal or typical.) and you are typically level minded and respectful of other teams fan bases.

Got to go, Saturday is date night and my wife is waiting upstairs.

Keep an eye out while you’re working under that bridge, troll.

Is that they are so very, very small.

Later, a-hole!

despite the wall of words.

One thing though. JT is older as a rookie than LeButkis was, so his being farther along at this point of his rookie season isn’t really a fair comparison. Other than that I pretty much agree with your take.

That Greene was selected by Memphis, and traded to Houston. They decided to trade him to the KIngs. So in a way, I think part of that was Houston’s decision too, if anything.

If God is a Kings, Giants and 49ers fan, why do they all suck?

PS – Not that I’m complaining. You did an excellent job putting my wife together.
