    We'll we can't beat many good teams in the league right now and are dropping some very winnable games as well (Bobcats, Philly). What's the last quality win? The Celtics while they were imploding on the road? Maybe a 1-point win against Detroit at home?

    The stated goal of this team is to make the playoffs. We need a talent upgrade to make that happen.

    Not from me tonight. I got nothin'. We lost to a team that is 31-8 with (at least) the 2nd best player in the league. Oh, and Mo Freeking Williams goes 12-19 and gets 33 pts. Gotta tip your cap sometimes.

    Brandon Roy. You can look at the box score and say he got poned by Labron, but he missed so many shots at the rim that he usually finishes. He still got space and didn't look hurt to me. He's just in a mini-slump. He's still blowing by people and getting the basket. He'll be okay.

    Oden's fouls tonight weren't stupid/brainless ones. At least a couple were on Labron - what can you do there?

    We lost to a good team - it feels MUCH different that losing to the bobcats and going 16-31 from the line.

    Did you just use "PONED" as an actual WORD?

    Yes, because Ruben Patterson, Sebastian Telfair, Zach Randolph, Juan Dixon, and Vicktor Khryapa are the most feared starting 5 in the league :crazy:

    Urban Dictionary definition of Poned:

    "Getting your ass whooped by anyone who is better than you, causing you disgrace and/or shame. Basically sucking"

    Sort of encapsulates everything I wanted to say.

    So PWNED has become PONED, and an actual word now, not just LEETSPEAK? Kids these days!

    BS line? There isn't a team in the entire NBA that has made more trades in the last three years than the Trail Blazers.

    sweet now we can expect 3 days of teeth gnashing, wrist slitting, calls for trades, firings and not a bottle of Ritalin in sight.

    More like ebonics these days. Dumbing down the tried and true PWNED for the new internet set that can't figure it out.

    Which means DO NOTHING when we are on the cusp of being a good team? :crazy:

    The Blazer love fans with low expectations and unlimited patience. See you at the draft party yet again.

    here in lies the problem, as fans of the blazers we've loved the wheeling and dealing, who doesn't? but at some point you have to sit back and see what you've got, especailly with a team this young. yes the goal is the playoffs, but if we don't make it do you break this team up? no, you continue to tinker with it and say what you want but this team WILL NOT finish at .500 this season, which will be an improvement.

    Trades for draft picks and old guys coming off the cap during the summer. This team never addresses issues during the regular season when we are still in the playoff hunt.

    Now is the time where we need to spend Raef's contract and get a wing defender that can score the ball.

    I somewhat agree, but you are assuming such a player is available and wouldn't cost the Blazers some serious pieces.

    I don't think it's going to happen, but there is still a month until the deadline, so I guess there's hope?
