The other teams in the west are coming strong....

after tonight you can add another win to the thunder, jazz and hornets. what do they all have in common? all teams we are fighting with for the 7th seed or 8th seed.

with that said, the thunder have played an easy ass schedule and after tonight it gets tough thankfully. however the hornets and jazz keep rolling....

getting pretty tight and we have lost 3-4 ... scary time for the blazers. kpee does nothing but look like a deer in headlights. you see sac get a decent center for a 2nd rounder and wonder how kpee cant even come close to that type of move. sad.

 

What package could KP have put together that would have been more attractive?

Go Blazers

 

all i can tell ya is... pritchard is so uncreative... im sure he didnt even approach it.

 

You're not sure about a damned thing. I guess you aren't too creative either, since you can't come up with a better trade?

Go Blazers

 

It doesn't matter, nothing we can do about it but play our games. With half your roster hurt it's hard to make a trade.

 

Maxim accidentally drops the Blazers a huge compliment. With the West being so strong, this makes our record even more impressive considering the circumstances. It shows the healthy players and coaches are underrated for sure!

 

dalemburt? heyward? jefferson? foster? murphy?

you are really gonna sit here and tell me that our lousy gm cant get one of those guys?

he has no choice anyway... blake has no spot when rudy comes back. we have no center... and
by not making a trade... it tells the players their effort was for nothing. ya see kpee is in a must trade spot. had the team lost like he thought... he could have tanked for the lotto but now that we are 23-16... playoffs are very much alive. therefore hes backed in a corner. not to mention half the league laughs at the fact hpward starts at center.

 

Actually it shows the opposite. It shows the healthy players are over rated, because they were replace easily. You think Blake could have notched 31 in place of Roy and led Blazers to a win? I think not.

 

If it's such a piece of cake, show us a trade checked proposal that makes sense to both teams.

Go Blazers

 

Well it has to be positives about some people.... Nate, Roy, Miller, Webster, KP's drafting ability, etc.

 

How does our healthy guys winning tough games show they are over rated? No, Blake couldn't have notched 31 like Bayless did. Bayless was a healthy player. Are you saying Bayless is over rated?

 

Not really. I can easily provide another view as to why the team has been playing well. The injuries did what Nate never had the balls to do. Shorten the rotation and play players he wouldn't normally play. We already saw that last night when Blake came back. Nate is in a win-win situation. If things don't turn out well, he can blame the injuries. If things turn out well, he can take the credit.

 

What exactly is he supposed to trade? Nobody is gonna take injured players back. We have had a ton of freak injuries, deal with it! Support your team when they are down. They have played way above what I expected.

 

There is a difference between supporting your team and drinking the kool aid. I support my team. But I don't drink the Kool aid.

 

I agree, but what do you honestly think this team could bring back in a trade that would make a huge difference? Would you pull some trade just to win 3 more games? I'd love to trade Blake, Trav and whoever for Caron Butler too, but it ain't happenin'. I'm just saying that we should enjoy the fact that we are even competing let alone winning some games.

Your best post......................................ever.

 

No I haven't said that. Not in one of my post have I said make a trade. IMO this season is toast, our best bet is to make the playoffs with what we have and hope we end up with a matchup with a team that is not dominate on the front line. I am just saying to quit giving credit to folks in the Blazer organization when they really haven't done anything. They did what they had to with a short handed team. Look at Nate. You tell me one thing he has done differently since the injuries. The only thing he has done, is the same thing, but with the only players he had available. KP's hands are tied. He has nothing to trade.
