    How about 8 entertaining competitive games.

    I'm getting much more enjoyment out of watching these fast-paced games than Roy iso-ball that dominated the previous 4-5 seasons. Win or lose, the Blazers are putting on a show, let them learn and grow with each other this year, perhaps getting a decent draft pick and improve the god awful bench, then worry about 8 game winning streaks next year.

    2-5 over the next stretch and I'll be happy, no need to win this year, prepare for the future. Enjoy the growth!

    Oh, and HCP- do you know what the NBA policy is on who the broadcast team is for league pass? I swear 80% if not higher is for the other team, I miss my Mike and Mike!

    For the life of me I've been trying to figure out the reasons for who gets the coverage rights, seems like it should be the home team, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Thanks for any help!

    It used to always be the home team's broadcast feed up until about 2 years ago. Now it makes no sense....... home/visitor? Some intern back at NBA Entertainment just picks one or the other. If you are lucky enough to have the league pass and NOT live in Portland, they give you the option of watching either or........except on NBATV when it's the luck of the draw.

    Are we actually scoring more in the post "NATE-BALL" era?

    You're paid by different peeps than Barrett and Rice, obviously.

    I didn't listen, but that's what I'd expect them to say (or some sort of serious overestimation). Love them, but it'd be par for the course as far as their "opinions" go.

    You didn't like it when we were winning? When we had a go to guy who could close games for us. When we would blow out teams by 40 points and get tied for the 5th best record in the league with a high point differential? We didn't run Roy isos on every play but he was a nice weapon to have. The last truly entertaining Blazers basketball game was Game 4 vs Dallas when Roy led us back from 23 down. Nowadays, we come back from 23 down but then blow it at the end. We did that all last season too.

    Learn the game before posting. You can't be serious.

    Does anyone else take pride in the fact that a bonafide TV celebrity takes the time to troll our little community? :grin:

    Five other teams beat the "mighty" Lakers too. And Harden isn't the best player in the league now, and he wasn't when we beat the Rockets.

    Nope, on my LP some games have the home and away feeds (in SD and HD), but the last 3 games it's only been the non-Blazer feed.

    I'm all for the 8 game win streak! Can't wait for you to call us contenders! Then you'll be in my boat again. I think every year is a contending year! ;)

    There is nothing to debate when you both agree that the Blazers are the best fucking team on the planet until they get knocked out or don't make the playoffs.
