Are you really still in doubt about whether Portland is going to make the playoffs? Phoenix is 7 games behind Portland with 17 to go. Even catching Dallas will be nearly impossible for Phoenix. Even if Portland went sub-.500 (8-9), Phoenix would need to go 15-2. Nothing in the way either team is playing suggests either side of that is remotely likely, let alone both sides. Sorry, MIXUM...Portland is in. You'll have to despair silently during the playoffs and off-season.
Are moves made in the offseason included in the "not bitching" promise or do you justify since those moves are for the next year then you can bitch? I highly doubt you would not bitch until game 1 of the 09-10 season
At what time is it considered "next season"? After the Blazers are out of the playoffs? After the draft? Preseason's commencement? Beginning of the regular season?
I'm just waiting for you to root for the team once. You say you're a fan, and you say you cheer for the Blazers. When, Dude? Where do I apply to get the 2-3 hours of my life back that I spent reading you saying I'm an idiot if I can't see your "truth", when your truth is a bunch of shit?
i don't expect to the suns to catch us, but we could easily finish 8-9 the way we've been playing. we haven't had a quality road win for months.
Grammer School: I will not bitch until next season IF we make the playoffs. If we make the playoffs, I will not bitch until next season is also acceptable.
You've been saying that for a month or two and the team has not really had a major down stretch over a 17 game period. And they don't need a "quality road win" to do better than 8-9. I think they only play 4 teams with a winning record on the road the rest of the way.
CLE has one, ONE, uno real quality road win this year..beating SA Their next two good road wins are against POR and Utah...
