    They SAID they were confident. And yes, one game made them feel hot. They went in to our game feeling very good. I'm not making this up or guessing.

    Yes it does. DOn't you know? You know, when we beat Charlotte with 20+ threes, we were hot..... then lost to Philadelphia.

    But, but, Moral wins!

    I'm not assuming. THEY SAID IT ON THE RADIO. I heard Pau Gasol and Jordan Farmar and Kent Bazemore among others.

    Do you really, HONESTLY, believe players are saying that? COme on, read between the lines. They don't give a shit. They (most likely) checked out a month ago.

    Interesting that Lillard is the only Blazer starter with an assist currently.

    This isn't about us. It's about the Lakers. They Lakers felt hot and confident coming into their game against us. When you're a lotto teams, you have little victories. Anything to make you feel better. We have different expectations.

    OH MY GOSH! They said it! So, when the Blazers say they are trying to work on Defense then were continually giving up 100+ a month ago... we are supposed to just believe it?

    Come on dude, players are not honest in interviews. They are canned.

    So you're saying you're happy that the team lost to a (then) 20 win team, at home, with like 2 players that would make most rosters in the NBA this season?

    Because they were "hot" and "confident"?

    There is no excuse for a team with 41 wins (out of 59 games played), at home, to lay that colossal of an egg against a team that has won 20 games in the same # of games.

    You said that a team can be hot after 1 game and feel it. I gave you a counter, and you deny it.

    It's cool, you can be wrong sometimes. It won't hurt you.

    This. ANd then deny that because they were hot they were going to beat us. When we did the SAME thing, with HIGHER expectations, and then lost to Philadelphia AT HOME.

    Ummm I HEARD IT WITH MY OWN EARS. They weren't checked out at all. I'm not making this up. I heard the actual players talk before the game. Why is no one getting this?

    There is nothing moral about the Lakers.

    because it doesn't matter?

    I can be confident all I want, but I'm still not going to beat Michael Phelps in a race. Even if I just beat the best guy at my work in a race.

    I knew moving back to California would change you. Why are you listening to what Laker players are saying?!?

    Because we understand that players hardly EVER give real answers. They are all PC. you can't take them at their word. Not that their not honest, it's that they are not given room to actually talk.

    You have to understand that. Because that is true (They all have PR firms working for them, how is that not a dead giveaway)
