You all hate to admit it but we didn't win this game, Golden state lost it for us. Good teams don't break 9 game losing streaks in a city with only 5 points. We should have won by at least 30. I mean its like, everyone in here loves saying how good and talented we are but Brandon Roy only had 41 points. That's not even his career high! And KP's brilliant trade deadline acquisition, Camby, only had 17 boards and 0 (yes, zero) blocks. Josh Smith had 3 last night. Why cant we get someone like that?? Our "championship window" will never arrive with this bench. Bayless and Fernandez combined for only 24 points and shot 5-8 from the 3!!!! The Blazers and just not a championship caliber team and you guys need to realize this
I guess you're trying to be funny or sarcastic. Most of this game I was wishing for some heart and hustle. All's well that ends well.
I get the sarcasm, and while I tend to agree that there's no such thing as a "bad win" this is about as close to one as I can imagine. When they won it brought no joy to me, because I forced myself to sit through the first 3 quarters of Nate (once again) trying to out "Nellie" Nellie, by matching size for size instead of imposing his will throughout the game with larger lineups like they did in the fourth -- there is after all a pretty well established method to beating the Dubs. But like I said, there's no such thing as a "bad win" ... I guess
"The Blazers needed a win in Oakland in the worst way, and that's exactly what they got: a win, accomplished in the worst way." --Dwight Jaynes Not a bad line.
Dwight using soccer fans argument.... "We won the game 1- nil but we were outplayed by the other side....We're pissed!" ....A win is a win is a win is a win a win, you know the rest.
I agree with this being a bad BAD win. All the other good NBA teams beat the bottom 1/4 teams by 35 points and play beautiful flowing basketball every time. While I'm not the biggest McDillon fan and realize the team is not playing all that well right now, good teams find ways to win games like last nights. This game means nothing. On to the next one.
We won our last 2.... cause our defense buckled down and stopped the other team when it matters. Thats is the cold, hard truth.
Winning is like sex and pizza, even when its bad its good. We've had plenty of games that we should have won and gone cold ourselves in the last few minutes, its nice to see that happen in our favor for once this season.
