It always cracks me up when someone (in this case Mike Tokito) brings up injuries as a reason why the Blazers beat a team.
No doubt. Having lived in Utah I have watch a lot of his post game interviews. Comments like "looks like we were reading our own press clippings" or "no excuse for getting outworked like we did tonight" , or "we obviously are not as good as we think we are" are all classic Jerry.
Blazer fans look for excuses to worship their own golden future. Sloan looks for reasons to doubt himself. I like his approach. Next time, don't slobber over your dynasty till you win 2 consecutive championships.
