    The playoffs made one thing clear: Get this team a bench!

    I'm not sure if center isn't a need

    Lopez was a disappointment

    I don't know which one i would pick, but i think we need an upgrade at either SF or SG to be a legit contender (and obviously a bench)

    This team doesn't need more young players anyway, it needs vets.

    But Paul Allen loves the NBA draft. It wouldn't surprise me if we buy or trade for a pick in this year's deep draft.

    Um lol? Is that why Dwight Howard had the series of his life?

    Aldridge games 1 and 2

    Clutch Lillard

    Wesley's defense

    Lopez is not good enough to get these many minutes. His post defense is bad and so is his rebounding.

    For the money they spent, I think they got a pretty good deal ... which isn't the same as saying the center position is settled. I don't know what Olshey can do given his paucity of usable assets, but another big who isn't a total stiff that can play a bit of center would be a nice addition (no idea who that would be).

    Tough loss but the thrashing of Houston made it all worth it. So much growth in both series. It made it clear as to what the management needs to improve on.


    Spurs >>> Blazers >>> Rockets

    Great Season for the Blazers. It was awesome to see them exceed every expectation that was set for them.

    They just gotta come out stronger next season, fortify the bench and improve upon this year.

    We have a great core of guys and if anything, this post-season was a big time learning experience for the team.

    A salute to a group of hard-working, talented guys.

    GO BLAZERS!

    Lopez was our most consistent player in the regular season, but wasn't too impressive in the post season. But of course, he was trying to guard Howard in the 1st round.....and really no one looked good in round 2. I don't think we're going to get a major upgrade in the starting lineup. We will have the MLE to get one bench player. I think we should go after Patty Mills.

    I actually agree with RoyToy, wouldn't be surprised to see Patty revert back to his true self.
