    Lot of negativity in the forum tonight, myself included, but it's been a hell of a ride...

    And even if they keep falling, I'll keep watching, getting my heart broken, because well, I'm a fan.

    Here's to hoping they go farther next year! Also, less knee injuries please!

    Go Blazers!

    Here's to hoping big GO makes his big comeback in 11-12! (if there is one)

    It was an entertaining season, and I still love my Blazers. Just tired of getting my heart broken every year.

    I'm at peace with the outcome. We were straight over-matched in this series. I didn't think that was the case going in, but oh well.

    It was such a roller-coaster of a season. There was a big stretch of the season where the playoffs seemed like a long-shot. There were a few moments that I'll remember for a long time. I'd say the Batum lob to beat the Spurs and that game four comeback will stick with me for a while.

    Thanks for the season Blazers. Here's to hoping for another one later this year.

    Big props to Nicolas Batum - managing to contribute even less than Rudy Fernandez! Now that is impressive!

    Oh my bad, should I have been one of those lemmings who stood up and applauded the losing effort at game's end? Shame on me for expecting better.

    Nah, maybe just save that stuff for the thousand other negative threads going on right now.

    Whatever, it's a free country.

    Great season. Frustrating way to end, but haven't all of them but 1? They need to make some moves, need a shooter big time.

    Fun season. I'm looking forward to seeing where we go in the off season and to and to another winning season next year

    Does anybody have a 10/11 season highlight video?

    The team of the mid 90's is alive in Portland.

    It was a fun ride and I'll always love my Blazers. Let's hope we take another step forward next year. Our luck with injuries is bound to change at some point, right?

    Here is that the Blazers need:

    Backup PF
    Backup PG
    A young PG to take over from Miller
    Shooters
    Backup SG (this will depend on Roy and if there is an amnesty clause)
    Center - Camby took a massive step backwards this year in terms of productivity and GO is a huge question mark

    Honestly when looking at all the holes this team had, it was a minor miracle we even made the playoffs. Cho has a ton of work to do the next couple years
