    LOL.

    Portland has no player they give it to and get out of the way? Give me a fucking break.

    This guy must not watch many Portland games.

    This is obviously just a LONG article setting up a attack on Nate. Fans that think we can't win it all with Nate will love this article.

    Wow. Just...wow. I think it's pretty obvious that his objectivity is just a little bit clouded.
    Clearly this guy is suffering from long-standing emotional issues. He really never got over 2000, did he?

    Just a &%$#ing ray of sunshine, ain't he?

    On a related note, I talked to a high-school kid recently who told me that he'll never be able to be a Blazers fan again because they ripped his heart out in 2000. Yet somehow, he's a die-hard Yankees fan. I guess he just wasn't paying attention during the 2004 ALCS...? How is it that our 2000 collapse is deemed worse than every other in history?

    Because it was a scripted Hollywood ending. Bob Costas: "It would take a MIRACLE for LA to win now.". Referee's: "That's commisioner Stern's signal, swallow your whistle on one end, even ignore Shaq clotheslining Steve Smith on the drive." Portland choked it away, but not without some help from their friends in black and white. I can see not watching the NBA anymore after that, but don't rest all the blame on Ptown.

    P.S. I'd rather win with this team a 1,000 times more then the 2000 team.

    Well considering the Yankees have won one out of four world series I'm sure he has other years to remember.

    The Blazers have one fluke year that went their way in '77, big difference.

    There is one thing he is right and wrong about. Hands off coaches are really successful with very talented teams.

    I didn't read the article, but anyone who thinks that dreams can be "requited" sort of needs to learn English a little better.

    I like how you finger-pointed Blazer fans from an outsider's perspective as if you aren't one. Now that that's all cleared up, move along to the Lakers board where you belong.

    It was the Vince Carter as superstar thing that blew my mind. That hasn't been true in nearly 7 years.
