    All this shit sucks. We're good enough to get respect in the league, admiration from some of the national media, but then not good enough to win and we always go down in a flaming mess of glory.

    how can we break this shit? burn some sage in the RG?

    anyone know some holistic medicine chiefs or whatever...someone that does hippie cleansings? We should all chip in if there's some bad news and try to cleanse the RG.

    Good question.

    The Socceroos (Australian mens national soccer team) were cursed by a witchdoctor in 1969, and suffered heart breaking defeat after defeat; only to come good again after the curse was lifted in 2004.

    So what did the Trail Blazers do to suffer so much from injuries over the years(especially to big guys)?

    It even goes back to us not having Sabonis and Drexler play together!

    No, I'm pretty sure it is curses, plural. One curse wouldn't be enough.

    Anyone know some Santeria priests in Portland? seriously, we can get some weird quirky press by going by the Rose Garden one weekend and having a cleansing.

    I'm hoping this 30 year old curse is just karma for 30 years of pure Blazer dominance of the league sometime in the future...

    *sigh*

    KP's uber-douchiness brought on some bad ju-ju onto this franchise.

    I know. Darius is playing like an All-Star these days. No way that Memphis played him just to fuck over the Blazers.

    I think Paul Allen declaring bankruptcy and fucking over local creditors/businesses played a role as well. One of the richest men in the world hid behind a corporate wall, and in doing so, caused people in Portland to lose their jobs.

    I'm semi-serious here. Anyone know of someone who specializes in cleansing houses of bad vibes? Me and the "bring LeBron to Portland" guys might have to do a collaborative effort here.
