    I'm right here. I remember the Dallas series, down 0-3, with a team I trusted much less than this one.

    I won't go negative, didn't then, and that team tied the series before losing late in the 4th in Game 7. Losing a battle is not losing the WAR.

    I paid an inflated price for 300-level tickets, but still relatively inexpensive. $40/ticket for two tickets up high but near mid-court.

    I am still laughing at all of you who thought we could win.

    Portland has ZERO experience, and this is the reason some of us were screaming for a veteran trade at the deadline.

    But by all means, let it burn to a fucking crisp.

    That qualifies as the most depressing statement I have heard in a long time.

    No, strike that. I am too disgusted to be depressed.

    this season was never about winning the championship, this team isn't ready for that. but what would this "vet" have done down the stretch that wasn't done? nothing, this team played amazingly and now they are getting what they really need. playoff experience and seeing how things are done. people want instant gratifaction and to "win now" but it is a process and it always has been. the goal for the season was to make the playoffs and learn what they are all about, CHECK. now anything that happens from here on out is gravy.

    Who is the vet we could've traded for that is currently leading his team to a strong playoff performance right now?

    Or has the history of doing so?

    Or has any history of playoff experience worth shit?
