    Were you giving the Blazers excuses in the years where Roy, Batum, Oden and Przybilla were playing injured? It's hilarious how many excuses you guys give other teams and never for the Blazers. Hard to tell what teams some of you support.

    I viewed a lot of the Blazer's yearly results as missed opportunities. It's like when we got Afflalo and Wes went down. We had a chance but it didn't materialize. Sometimes certain factors are out of our hands but the results are what Blazer fans have to accept. Yet I am not going to disagree when someone calls us out for past failures. A Rockets fans told me the other day that Isaiah Hartenstein will win the MVP before the Blazers win anything. And judging from our past 40 or so years, if you look at our record, he's absolutely right. But I am still going to hold us to the standard I think the year's team needs to accomplish.

    Guess it depends on what you call "Anything". If Everything (ie: Championship) is the only "Anything" you are talking about? He might be right.

    Well. I imagine he isn't talking about the English Snooker Masters Title. But when he said "anything" I think NBA Championahip was the jist of what he was implying.

    But would making the WCF be "Winning Anything". In my book that is a pretty successful season. Even more so if you get there a couple times and play well. Would i like a Championship? Yes.

    I'm not going to lose any sleep over it if we don't. This team plays hard and beats a team like OKC in the playoffs that's good enough for me. Anything to get rid of the memory of what happened last year against the Pelicans.

    I won't be surprised if Lebron fires Luke Walton tonight and gives the job to his friend Tyrone Lue ...

    As much as the lakers' failures bring me such joy so far, I totally expect a sudden winning streak from them starting on Monday. At the same time, it wouldn't surprise me if both the Kings AND Clippers continue and start their losing streaks respectively.

    LeBron ain't making the playoffs in the west. I don't care what the NBA wants. Ain't happening.
