"Bellyflopping" into the playoffs??

First, this is my first post on this website.  I can not spend enough time on here!!  Portland has the best fans in the world.  I just wish there were more in salem!!  It sucks down here as a blazer fan!

But I was talking to one of my buddies today who just moved up here from LA and he was talking all kinds of smack about the blazers.  But he made the comment that Portland just barely "bellyflopped" into the playoffs this year.  My first reaction was to give him facts....3rd best record in the west, 6th best record in the league, the fact that we kill everyone in our house (included his fakers which he still owes me 100 bucks for!)   But then i got to thinking about what he said and it actualy is a compliment for us blazers.   If you look at a bellyflop...it is not the most gracefull move, there is no olympic event for bellyflopping...but if you wanna make the biggest splash when you jump in, bellyflopping is the way to go.  Thats kinda how I see the blazers this year,  ready to make a splash in the playoffs!  Carefull Dont get drenched!!   

I know this first post is kinda lame but any time i get to call out a Faker fan I have to take the chance!   Oh and please keep me posted on any tailgate event for our first playoff game!  I am down!

The post isn't lame ....your friend is

The Bellyflopping comment is typical Laker fan BS (so is stiffing you on the bet).

Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention.

 I’ve just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you, to stop what you’re doing and listen. Cannonball!

who just moved up here from LA

Tell him to move back.

And take his Kobe jersey with him. Laker fans are so weak.

and they never use their turn signals!

I Blazersedge daily, nightly and ever so rightly.

Or stop at stop signs.

And they always complain about how small-towny Portland is. Last I checked U-Haul is still in business and there are plenty of studio apartments in So-California waiting for them!

CA drivers are the worst

Does your friend know anything about the current state of basketball?

You might be able to say that about the Pistons or Bulls, but the Blazers…C’mon

Tell your friend that BE will take up a fund to buy him a bus ticket back to LA

Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.

I got 5 up on that bus ticket…

We have the best combination of wins and age

in the history of the NBA. If anything, teams like San Antonio, New Orleans and the Jazz are bellyflopping into the playoffs. We’re just the opposite.

We're 'walking on water' into the playoffs

We are the Team of Destiny.

Someone’s friend doesn’t really follow the NBA and likes the Lakers when they are good.

Blazers = cannon ball, rolling downhill, picking up speed...RED HOT and ROLLIN'

I agree with cloudydays, the “cannonball maneuver” is best for making a splash, while protecting vital organs (and all the skin above your waist)

by two4larue on Apr 9, 2009 2:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

I was going to say moonwalking, c-walking or crumping into the playoffs, but cannonballing about sums it up. Make way, children.

by ArbyOSU on Apr 9, 2009 3:41 PM PDT up reply actions  

You could let him keep the 100 bucks out of the charity of your heart

since he’s going to be tortured by 10+ years of Blazer dominance….

LMA: 35 points, 18 rebounds against "OKC." Beaste!

not a bad fee to pay

You'll never see that money

unless you happen to walk by when he’s spending it on porn or meth.

by MiledAnimal on Apr 9, 2009 4:01 PM PDT reply actions  

Yeah right

We’re doing a triple lindy into the playoffs.

by TimG on Apr 9, 2009 5:22 PM PDT reply actions  

Thanks for all your support! yeah I dont think i will ever see that money….when the blazers lost the first game against the lakers and I lost that bet, i paid him back with blazer tickets! Salem sucks when it comes to blazer fans…no true fans down here..

Hot Blazer Fan wanted!

by davidson777 on Apr 9, 2009 6:04 PM PDT reply actions  

Salem is the Best!

It’s where I was born and grew up… so yeah…

All of my friends were Blazer fans, my parents watch all the Blazer games, every recess at school was basketball-us pretending to be the Blazers…

Everytime I phone home my Mom, Dad, Brother talk about the Blazers. The only person who doesn’t care is my sister. And she lives in Portland.

Don’t you ever question my or my family’s fanhood!

by staylost on Apr 9, 2009 7:31 PM PDT reply actions  

Sorry, in no way did I mean to question your fandom….no disrespect! I will buy you a beer next time you are in town! Thanks for representing!

No problem...

Just had to stand up for Salem, y’know. I wasn’t actually offended or anything. Just had to get on your case for the Salem bashing, you know. :)
