Have you forgiven Aldridge for defecting to the Spurs?

    Tired of these blowout losses. At least try to stay competitive.

    I was pissed when the Texas Turncoat lied and left. Now I'm glad he's gone.

    The poll question should have been, how much will we lose by?

    I'm not so sure about the loss. We have been killed by several good teams on the road. It feels like it's about time for Dame and CJ to catch fire and torch somebody. Why not SA with their old men?

    You're such a hopeful pessimist. How odd.

    Why? Because they've yet to lose at home. Oh and of course we don't have legend in the lineup.

    Why?

    I'm not sure I understand the question. We could present unique problems for SA, IF (big IF) we move the ball, run the floor, Dame and CJ have better than average games and the bench scores reasonably. San Antonio is a machine, but they are not a completely fast machine.

    Be the first to beat the Spurs on their homecourt and do it in convincing fashion! Go Blazers! No Mercy!

    Spurs have a winning record vs every NBA franchise all time...

    Every team except one; the Blazers!

    The series is tied 79-79

    Go Blazers!

    Tim Duncan has won 50 games every year of his career; for 19 seasons!

    It's surprising he's never in the discussion of the best player of all time. I put him significantly ahead of Kobe Bryant.

    May be in part because fans don't want to see a guy make 10 basic plays; they'd rather see 2 highlights along with 8 terrible shots even if it leads to fewer wins.

    I was gonna go to this game; but tix were way more expensive than normal. Nosebleeds were going for $50 and anything average was $100+. Must be the home winning streak. I might go to the Dallas game though.

    Go Blazers!

    That's actually very impressive.
    Plus, Tim is such a likeable guy.

    This. I've got no beef with Tim, he's a great, class-act. Probably one of the best class-acts of any player of any sport ever played.

    LeBitch, on the other hand...I'll be happy if he never wins a ring for his entire career. I have 3 of his shirts I'm trying to sell; I can't stand him.

    Won 37 games in the strikeout shortened season. He would have won 50 easily if it was a full-season though.

    Not a terrible start. We're hanging with them, which is more than we did against the last team we faced.
