    You guys rock. What a fun season. No complaints, no excuses. The team did much more than most of us anticipated. Muchas gracias.

    Go Blazers!

    I agree it was a great year and the start of a new era in Blazer playoff basketball.

    I'm looking forward to the offseason. I can't wait to see what KP does.

    We'll win near 60 next season and we'll win at least a round. We're right on schedule. Unfortunately, Houston and Dallas were the last teams we wanted to meet in the playoffs. We should've played New Orleans. Mike Finley's three shouldn't have counted.

    You guys shouldn't be down at all. This was just a learning experience which this group will build on for the next decade. Future looks bright and Blazer fans should be proud of how their team exceeded most people's expectations and ended up winning 50+ games. Things will only get better from here on out.

    I bet he doesn't do much. I bet he just lets these guys learn from the experience and grow naturally together next year.

    I'm very disappointed in Travis though. I thought he would be a big time player in the playoffs.

    Yup, well said. I'm not mad at all. I'm happy for how well they have played on the season as a whole.

    You definitely beat me to this thread.

    What an AMAZING SEASON!!!! EPIC!!! 54 regular season wins, in and of itself, is BEYOND most of our expectations.

    I love this team. I love our future. I love our fans. I love the RG.

    Looking forward to next season, guys. Just awesome!!!! We should all feel very good about what the Blazers have accomplished being the YOUNGEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE!!!!!

    (minus Raef).

    lol

    GO BLAZERS!!! SO PROUD OF MY TEAM!!!!

    So many great memories from this season. Roy's buzzer beater against Houston. Roy going off for 52. Etc Etc.

    Should be a fun off-season. The wait will be sooooo long.

    Hey, we all felt we'd be lucky to get #8 in the playoffs.

    Now we're like the spoiled children, wanting it all...because we expect it all to happen.

    Ain't it grand?

    This team is fantastic. Thanks guys...

    Re: Thanks Blazers for a Great Season!

    Before the season started, I had us at 55 wins and an exit in the second round. But I'm plenty ok with how things turned out--sometimes when your expectations aren't met, it's because you expect too much. If Oden had come back at just 80% of what I'd hoped, they could've done it.

    The most critical thing I'm taking away from these playoffs is that Aldridge and Roy are the real deal. Those two are going to be key players in many championship runs to come.

    And hey, at least we don't have to worry about either guy being the next Shareef Abdur Rahim. The stats they put up led to the playoffs, and they pulled off a couple of wins.

    Great season. They played above my expectations, so they succeeded. They'll be even better next year. Let's get a starting point guard, and a decent big man coach.

    I remember thinking people like you had way too high of expectations, but I was wrong, you were so close. I truly think we would have beat the Spurs or Hornets, which would make your prediction dead on.

    Awesome year! The beginning of another 23 year playoff run? I don't know but the decade ahead looks good to me.
