    I'm not to impressed with them, there destroying a beaten and bloody team with no life in them. I think there gonna have a lot of trouble in the middle of the year and will eventually pick up a 5-8 seed, which is good but i think they'll be 1 and done.

    And two of our key players are in their 30s by the way. What real jobs were you referring to?

    I work a job like that, and when you go in and give it your all for even 4+ hours you feel it bad the next day.

    They beat the Heat. They're the only team that has beaten the Spurs. They beat Denver. Beat Milwaukee twice. They're for real. They had the 2 seed three seasons ago. This team is deeper.

    Please, we've played more games than anyone to this point - and not against chopped liver. This isn't exactly a set that you can extrapolate the whole season from.

    OK, I'm out. Take care everyone, time to get some mental rest before the game against the Grizz. I'll have my fingers crossed for Roy.

    Could be, portland isnt' looking to good now but we still have a lot of talent and could potentially be a lot better then the Hornet. Or we could continue this horrid streak and get a lottery pick while 2 of our big players are rehabbing. Only time will tell. If the Hornets can deal there giant expiring for a really good player then they will leave us in the dust, but we will see what happens.

    They have played more games, but they've also not beaten anyone with a decent record, and their best player is a shadow of himself, and our big off season signing hasn't exactly set himself out to be a great signing.

    Their defense has been lazy, and they haven't played smart.

    Without Roy we don't have that player we can ISO.

    LMA certainly is not that. Not even close.

    Do you trust his jump shot? I sure don't. He's not the player I'd ISO down the stretch.

    Those jobs don't depend on jumping up and down and running back and forth on a court. Honestly, you think a truck driver Is harder than playing professional basketball games back to back? No.

    Blazers showed up and played the best they could. Your body doesn't operate the same if it has less rest. Period.
