    See it does mean something.
    Last year the Blazers had a couple bad losses with and without Aldridge. I specifically point to Orlando without Aldridge.
    With that one extra win the Blazers finish with HCA vs Huston. Losses like these stop that from happening.
    Huston finished last year at 54 - 28
    Blazers finished last year at 54-28.

    Sure the West is deep and teams can win on the road. Blazers proved it last year they don't need HCA in the first round to beat a team in the playoffs...

    But HCA matters in the playoffs.

    If they bring these same charcteristics of thinking they can turn it off and on at will, playing the scoreboard or I call it playing with the game. Year after year.

    No. They never will.

    We're still in 3rd place in the West and have a homestand coming up with two new good players coming off our bench. Don't panic, guys.

    Wow, 16 is the most we've lost by all year. That says a lot about how great a team we are this year.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Blazers aren't winning the title this year.

    You put the excuse on the injuries all you want. It's a team that plays with the game way to often. And their losses shows it.

    \But it's ok, they will flip it into gear on sunday.

    Guns and Roses is on 764. Axle Rose has lost his voice...at least his ability sing anything like he used to. It doesn't even sound like him.

    He's European. He's a space eater. Soft touch. He'll be in the league somewhere. A good NBA guy to boot.

    But Phoenix was still supposed to beat them, like we were supposed to beat Utah. Shit happens.

    Because we lost a game to Utah in February without our new players or Joel Freeland? What about the good wins we had? Like the one in Houston?

    What about all our wins? You only judge us by our losses? We have the 3rd best record in the most competitive Western Conference ever.
