    3-1 vs Lakers/Sixers
    2-1 vs Mavs

    if we had lots of wins against teams above us, they wouldn’t be above us

    Yep, give me the JailBlazers anytime. They humiliate the other teams and destroys them.

    No they didn't.
    2001-2005 was not a good time at all.
    Lost in the first round one year and didn't even make the playoffs after that.

    Not the worst team, but this is one of my top 4 most unenjoyable teams to watch since I started watching (90) ... so much talent and we're fighting for the playoffs (again)

    I would say we all knew that team was bad and nothing was expected of them. At least with that team we had the hope of a franchise-changing lottery pick. This team is built to contend and might miss the playoffs.

    And what did we do with that franchise-changing lottery pick? Was the franchise changed? No. Even once we got Roy, we never won a playoff series.

    Tons of talent. We just don’t play defense at all and have awful shot selection. Really awful. Mainly because the coach thinks you can ride certain players and defense and creativity on offense doesn’t matter

    Those were some of the most enjoyable seasons. Cheap seats. Sneak down to the 100-level since the arena was empty. Was Bassy the next great Point Guard? Would Martell be Ray Allen 2.0? Neither of those ended up being true, but it was fun to hope. I don't have much hope in the current Blazers.

    I'm not relaxing because I don't know if the Vulcans will hold Neil accountable and I sincerely doubt he trades CJ or Nurk... hopefully I'm wrong. Hopefully when next season starts we have a new GM, coach and team around Dame that doesn't include CJ and that can better compete for a title.

    Until Stotts, Melo, CJ and Olshey are gone, likely nothing changes.

    Stotts - no defense or accountability
    Melo - there is a reason he wasn't playing anywhere else. Gives up more than he inefficiently scores and ignores teammates on a lightly basis.
    CJ - nice game against Memphis, but most nights he is Chucker J who is Iso-centric and is a defensive liability.
    Olshey - won't change the core of this team and keeps trying ti improve the periphery. Not good in the 1sr round of the Draft.

    Regardless of post-season outcome, I proclaim this is NOT the worst Blazer team I have seen in my lifetime.

    Came into the season as one of the 4th-7th best rosters in the West. Lost Nurk & CJ for a huge chunk, no Collins, and still finish T-5 in the West.
