Even after a loss, to the clips, I have so much respect for this blazer squad. They play hard every game and have to field a JV squad. But still even when they lose, they play hard and do themselves proud. Kudos to Roy for being so strong for so long. To Miller for rolling with the punches and producing 16 assists tonight. To Webster who is finally stringing together good games. To Howard and Cunningham who have really been steady on D and O. To Pendy for beasting with the starters and rebounding like a man. To Bayless who has not been going crazy even though he is in a funk. To Nate for keeping this squad focused and for actually doing his best in-game coaching I have seen. Kudos to everyone.
here we go with moral victories. somebody call kpee so he can jerk off. if our fucking gm would get some guts and help this team... we wouldnt lose to the god damn clippers.
Me too. And I'll say it again Sunday night If (or maybe when) they lose their 4th game in a row. These guys play hard and are getting the most out of what they have for the most part.
Hear yee, hear yee. Yes, I love our team's determination and perserverance through all these unfortunate injuries. Even though they lost tonight's game against the Clippers and the 76ers game at home, they have more than surpassed my expectations. We should probably be near .500 right now (or probably even lower), but our coaching staff, our players have all stepped up.
I'm proud of them too. We probably should've lost 10 of our last 11 games. To win 8 of them is amazing.
If this team can just hang on until the end of the month reinforcements will be coming. That should make life a little easier. Hell, who knows how tonight goes if the Blazers have Aldridge. The fact that this was a 3pt game with about 8-9min to go really shows how hard these guys are playing and not giving up. Getting Aldridge bacck this week will be a start, then comes Blake and Rudy shortly after, then Batum at the end of Jan. 4 guys right there that can help this team.
This team is getting some guts. I hope we remember how to play this hard when we get all our guys back.
How dare you question my sincerity. I think I'll sue ... or maybe I'll post a threatening avatar pic. Just you watch yourself.
The post up there is actually the one that made me hit the ignore button...I survived a long time...just can't take it right now...he wins.
I was pretty proud that we even stuck with the Clippers for 3 quarters with half our players out. It sure would be nice if we could get some stops, but right now were a little too small to protect the paint.
I too am proud of the team. It isn't about moral victories since they are actually winning games. They are competing and not letting the absurd situation bring them down. A moral victory is a defeat that makes you feel good about the team. This loss didn't feel awesome. But the last few wins were pretty fucking cool. Anyone who doesn't think so can fuck right off and find another team to follow.
