    I thought the first half couldn't be uglier. I was wrong.

    Here's me doing my kingspeed impersonation: believe harder for biggest 4th qtr comeback in NBA history. Yippee!

    HOW CAN YOU DO THIS? THIS IS WHY THE NHL IS BETTER THEN THE NBA. THESE GUYS DON'T CARE.

    I have never been so disheartened by a game. I can take a loss even if its a bad loss but this is something more. Its one thing to not show up during regular season game but its something completely else to not show up and not play or hustle or show any heart in the second half of a playoff game. This is what the team plays all year for then they don't show up, I just don't get it.

    You're at least a game early on that prediction.

    For the love of all that is good, please seperate Nate McMillan from this team.
    It's never easy with Nate at the helm; your going into the game for an uphill battle.

    I've long called for Nate's head; I do believe we have some talented players that aren't being utilized properly (Schemes, Strategy).
    As mentioned by some other posters, I've seen YMCA offensive play that is less predictable than this 'System' of Nates'.

    However, if the problem with the Blazers isn't Nate, then we may as well look at making some drastic changes post lock-out & post BRoy contract. (Blow it up?)

    We should've played with this urgency, this intensity from the outset. It may be too little too late now

    I like the fullcourt pressure, they should have done that earlier.
