How DARE you insult a game where the only interesting thing happens is in the last 2 seconds of play and is confined to success among the upper 0.5% of height endowed persons. I hereby challenge you to a duel of Sticky-Wicket to regain this sport's honor!
and this team is boring. When the dream was Roy, Oden, Aldridge, Batum it held my attention a little. Now...it might as well be the Denver Nuggets or Golden State Warriors. I like sports but I truly don't care about the Trailblazers.
At least it ain't as bad as soccer.
I can only quote Woody Allen here on the meaning of sports in life:
"I can only answer that basketball or any sport is as dearly important as life itself.
After all, why is it such a big deal to work and love and strive and have children and then die and decompose into eternal nothingness?"
"See you all in March. Hopefully I’ll have a cool ship-in-a-bottle to show you."
Actually, you'll have until May to work on that ship-in-a-bottle, as the regular season ends then. If the 'Blazers make it to the playoffs, you'll have until almost July to be working on that project. Get crackin', you sports-hating pussy!
for "getting sullenly shitfaced in my living room, whatevs), you guys go ahead and have fun watching a bunch of overpaid pituitary gland mutants trying to throw a leather pumpkin into a fishing net"

Well, no, it's not. But running in circles where giving a shit about basketball makes you the barely-tolerated minority is a plus.
