    that's what I'm seeing too. A lot of apathy, and intimidation.

    Also, they seem to be giving up just because Brandon isn't performing to his usual standards.

    They need a new coach.

    McMillan's idea of an offense is disgusting. This game has been pretty much Andre Miller going 1 on 5.

    We'd be doomed without Andre.

    Man, how is New Orleans not up more? Feels like when the Blazers let teams hang around.

    I was only able to listen to the game for the first quarter and a half but it just sounds like we have no energy and our pretty much giving up. With Pauls shot at the end I dunno how we'll be able to come out with any energy.

    You guys do realize that we scored 60+ points in the first half last night. No panicking over one half.

    B-Roy's line looks ugly.... 0-6 FG, 0 pts, 1 reb, 1 ast, 15 mins.

    Is it too early to tank for a high lottery pick?

    In a word? Yes.

    But I think what a lot of people are feeling is the sensation of a whole lot of air about to be let out of their balloon, but instead of a big *pop* we're maybe on the verge of a 3 or 4 year fizzle as we dwindle away to mediocrity instead of outright suckitude for the duration of Roy's injury plagued "twilight" years and LMA making more money than can be easily moved without sending away a promising player with him like Batum.

    Shouldn't we just rest Roy? He isn't helping us anyway.

    Who would we tank for? Last season would have been the time to tank. I'd love to have John Wall. :sigh:

    The team looks bad. It has been looking bad for quite some time now. Don't blame people for being a little negative.

    Maybe it's because Portland is looking like crap so much and I'm blinded by their suckitude, but I'm not that impressed with New Orleans.

    Better than Portland? Yeah. Best in the league? Not on your life.

    The last few weeks have been as much as most blazer fans can take. So much bad news in that little amount of time and some heartbreaking losses and left a few of my friends and myself with this feeling of shock. I'm sure i'll be able to muster a lot more feeling and get pumped up later in the season but at the moment I know me personally i'm spent with all the negative news and thoughts of the future that have come out recently.

    I think it's going to take a big win to get the positive buzz back. Every game we've won have been games we were "supposed to win". We've lost two heartbreakers against OKC (already a sore spot for most) and got dismantled by the Lakers and Bulls.

    I still love being a Blazers fan.

    Not sure how steroids will help any.
