This isn't unique to the Trail Blazers. Every team, every year loses games to teams they should beat. The 72-win 1995-96 Bulls lost to the 21-win Raptors and the 35-win Nuggets. Last year's 73-9 GSW Warriors lost to the 17-win Lakers, the 29-win Timberwolves (at home), the 33-win Nuggets and the 33-win Bucks. Hell, we beat the greatest regular season team in NBA history by 32 points. The problem is fans tend to remember the games their team should have won, but didn't. It's classic if-only syndrome. BNM
Absolutely, but... it makes me weary every time we go into an "easy stretch" and board members are licking their chops. That is happening right now.....
Why do you keep assuming "struggle to beat" means lose to? We struggled to beat both Philly and the Suns, but we beat them. It was an innocent comment you ran with to prove some point
I totally agree with you. How many times have we turned the corner this season, just to find a dead end.... To me though, it sure is more fun and exciting to have people looking positively (kingspeed style) at the team, then all gloom and doom. I've read many other team forums, and some are downright depressing. I'm not even a fan of their teams, but I feel sorry for them. Sure, if we do happen to make the playoffs, we may get slaughtered. Still, there's that chance we could do great things....
