    I actually, honestly, felt they could win because the Heat BARELY beat Portland in Portland, and the Heat are playing like a team with no trust in each other or their coach.

    What I love--and completely didn't think we would have--is confidence. It was the belief that we could beat them by every member of the team. I don't know where it comes from, but I like it!

    You know I'm just breaking your balls a bit. It was a great prediction and well deserving of rep!

    Screw you, Wheels. :) Just 'cause I didn't put in a score doesn't mean I didn't call it right!

    What can I say? Right now, this team makes me feel like a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Every time I let myself start to feel a little hopeful, they do something to snatch it away. Even tonight, I can't shut off the part of my brain that wants to know where this Blazer team was against the Lakers/Hawks/Rockets.

    I know......I'm a weirdo. Tell me about it.

    No thanks - he's on record as actively disliking them and he'll have it no other way. He's grouchy like that.

    I was one of the few who didn't want to blow it up. I love how that is forgotten.

    Like an undigested kernel of corn inside a freshly pinched loaf. On its own it might be of value, but given its surroundings, it still stinks.

    The last two games prove (once again) that you can't live game-to-game as fans. A week ago, after a second straight lopsided loss at home, most people felt the 'Zers were circling the drain. A couple of ugly wins vs two bad teams after that (Sac/Char) didn't do much to bolster our confidence about this 4 game roady.

    Like everybody else, I'm excited about the win Orlando/Miami wins. That just doesn't happen very often. But if they somehow come up short against Atlanta and Charlotte (who will be more healthy with Jackson & Thomas) then I promise not to jump off a bridge. The season won't be "over". Most of us would have been thrilled with a 2-2 trip when it started. Now? People would call it a collapse. I still think the "adjustment period" to our recently stocked roster isn't 100% complete - expect a few more inconsistent efforts along the way.

    If we can stay healthy and on the same page, this team has a chance to be pretty good in April. That's what I'm looking forward to. Didn't think I'd be saying that a month ago.
