    You know what I do to make myself feel better after a Blazers' loss? Play some NBA 2K12 and dominate.

    I nearly picked up a copy when the lockout was going, but then the lockout ended. I'm wishing now I'd just pretended it hand't.

    Team is boring as hell. At least they were fun to watch when they were playing fast, but now, it's just ugly basketball by players who have mediocre talent. We're going nowhere fast.

    Correction: they lost THREE years picks. They were supposed to lose five years (2001-05) but it was then reduced to 01,02 and 04.

    LOL. Yeah, this season has been torture so far. And with Felton at the helm, the torture isn't gonna end anytime soon.

    Quite frankly, the roster kind of just shits on itself. For one they're not deep enough, and secondly they're not optimized to be built around Aldridge. You're likely going to move any of Portland's good, liquid assets if you're going to try and make a trade that pushes the team forward this year. I'd rather wait until the offseason when there's a lot more flexibility in regards to roster moves.

    That said, I am a fan of pawning off guys like Wallace and Felton for whatever we can get before the deadline.

    The last time this team had an abundance of talent was 7 years ago.

    I agree. Great PF's always thrive when they have a good PG around them. Name me a great PF that didn't have a good PG.

    KG in Minny (then again, Brandon/Cassell were far better than the trash we have).
    Gasol in MEM had Jason Williams, whose stats there look nearly identical to Felton's here.

    Was at the game; this game was lost by the coaching staff unable to make adjustments; shitty D, and we need a better PG and a better offense.

    Brandon/Cassell/Marbury were all AS caliber players.
