    I thought we had risen past the stage of being a slightly below average team. Disappointed.

    It looks like Dame has aged 7 years in one offseason.

    He played well vs Pels. We need him back. Esp when Nurk in foul trouble.

    Yes, you're right, Dame has long been renown for his defense.

    Sorry man. What seed did you think we'd be this year? Did you have us going 82-0? I have news for you. You might want to sit down... We may lose 20 of these this season and you won't like it when they are close losses and you won't like it any more when they are blowout losses.

    Really? LOL Ok so let's review. I started the "conversation" with another poster by observing that Nurk needed to work on his footwork with a coach. You jumped in saying you wanted someone to punch his coach in the face. Now you're putting words in my mouth to further egg on the "conversation". Who's being reasonable here?

    This game feel like it has gone by quickly. I know it hasn't, but it just feel like it to me. Maybe it's because I'm having so much fun. A warm Sunday afternoon, Trail Blazer basketball, a few cold beers, shooting the shit with my fellow Blazer Maniacs. I selfishly wish this game will go all afternoon. Triple OT FTW!

    That shark dog is a perfect analogy for our team. Back legs=our offense, front legs=our defense. It's hard work but we kind of get places.

    I wasn't trying to support your statement that he needed a footwork coach. I don't know if coaching is the reason he sucks this year. But you responded by saying that Nurk shouldn't be expected to have good footwork after losing 30 pounds, which I found to be absurd. An athlete isn't going to lose coordination just by losing weight, and I don't see footwork as being his problem.

    People hold the Blazers to a higher standard than even the champions, that's all I'm saying.

    Everyone in the NBA is one of the best basketballers in the world. Any team can click on any given night. You've got to bury sub par teams early.
