    I suppose that I am fortunate. I did not expect anything other than what happened. This teams style of play has fist round easy out , written all over it. I did not invest myself in the regular season, as I detested watching hero ball and lazy play.

    I do hope that changes are made in play style. It would be nice to be able to watch the in state team that I have spent years and money to see, once again play a team game.

    what does it say when a sarcastic statement, in big green font, can almost be taken as fact.

    Evan Turner hinted at what we've all been talking about. Develop a structure and don't depend on your two strong scorers only. TEAM GAME, Terry fucking Stotts!

    I've never tried fisting but I don't see it being an easy in or out.

    This loss is so severe it’s impossible to overreact. Any reaction is justified after that pants shitting on the court. Because even if you’re third seed by luck and could have been 9th seed without getting lucky, you’re in deep shit there too.

    Its more than 4 games. Its 10 straight playoff loses. He can tout the regular season record and division championship all he wants, but they mean nothing if they dont translate to postseason success. There has to be accountability.

    Jesus Christ, both these guys are going to be back next year aren’t they? Get ready for that blockbuster trade where we bring in a new 8th man off the bench.

    Being really good in the regular season is like being really good at foreplay; it’s a good thing to be good at, and will get you to the next step in style. Unfortunately, and this metaphor should please a few folks here, we were four-pump chumps when it counted.

    Can’t wait for Neil to tout Jimmer Fredette as the biggest free agent signing in franchise history.

    This day showed why Olshey makes the big bucks. With most teams, end-of-season interviews get no media. It was sheer genius to wear us all down, watching 20 players do meaningless identical interviews, so that we would hardly pay attention to the final Olshey and Stotts interview. Also, notice that they appeared together instead of separately, so that no one could sneak up behind them and slug them one.

    But they certainly played fractured on the court.

    “Look, Jimmer may be the most talented scorers in the history of basketball. If you’d pay attention you’d know he has lit up china and is a crucial player for the future of this franchise.”

    I'm disappointed that the Blazers didn't announce when the Division Championship parade is.
