    The Spurs are a superior team who is beating a superior collection of talent.

    They always do a great job guarding Brandon. Their championship experience is definitely showing. I just wish Nate would have let Bayless take his shot to see what would happen.

    Holy crap I was just listening to the radio during the late 3rd/early 4th and holy hell is it depressing to listen to Wheels. I nearly wanted to pull off the side of the road and off myself from listening to him. I love his radio show but geezzz...

    Rough loss. I'm disappointed, but not incredibly surprised. Hopefully we can rebound against Minnesota. I don't think I can handle all the whining and backseat coaching that is sure to follow this loss, so I'm out. Gnite yall!

    Superior team my ass. Outside of their Big 3 they're a bunch of stiffs.

    The next time Roy shows up against a top 9 WC team on the road, we'll win.

    Depressing loss. Finally get to see a game and it's a loss.

    Why is Parker still in? To pad his stats?

    Greg Oden and Jerryd Bayless were changing that, but Oden is injured, and Bayless will probably never play another minute as long as Nate McMoron is the coach.

    We'll be alright. Back in MJ's dominant days with the Bulls, they'd always lose their road trip in Texas. It's tough. At least we didn't have to play Dallas on the trip as well. I used to root against the Bulls back then and it was in Texas that I had my fun.

    I agree. We're the superior collection of talent. They're the better team. Just like we all learned in June, 1977, the superior team will generally beat the superior collection of talent.

    Losing to Minnesota would be much more disappointing to me. Young teams get into funks and we've seen the Blazers lose their confidence in the past from stuff like this. If they really have improved with experience they will go out and open a can of whoop ass on the T'Wolves. They need to go out and dominate a road game.

    Look at it this way: we're 1-1 vs the Spurs. We can't win in their building, but they can't win in ours!! Take that! Spurs can't win at Rose Garden. Suns can't win at Rose Garden. Jazz can't win at Rose Garden. Rockets can't win at Rose Garden.

    Of course I watched the game. That's why I'm so pissed off! How can you let a 6-2 point guard beat you all by himself??? Ridiculous!

    You do realize that the last Spurs/Blazers game in Portland was the first time that Portland beat the Spurs in Portland, since Jesus was in the 3rd grade, right?
