What a sad state of events.... i heard the clippers announcers kill us Wed and then i had to listen to GS's announcers bash us on Sat....and then again tonight... the clips announcers were making a gurantee for victory. Thats just beyond depressing. Also we were called a dleague team numerous times.
thats just due to all the injuries. Out of the top ten players last year, we have one. Roy. No LMA, Blake, Oden, Joel, Batum, Outlaw, Rudy and so on. This team, as is, should not beat anyone. The fact that they do win some games is amazing and due totally to heart and hustle.
Why are you embarrassed about them saying that? It's Brandon Roy and Andre Miller with a bunch of second, third and fourth stringers. The team is decimated by injuries; it isn't an insult - it's just a fact. Clippers at home should not lose to the current team the Blazers are fielding. No need to be melodramatic about it.
I'm proud of our guys hustle and heart, but talent will win out the majority of the time. Those teams SHOULD beat us.
This is nothing. You should see the game thread. Mixum's working the carnival crowd tonight with a flair for subtlety.
