    Kings and Raptors are both teams on the rise. Raptors had won 7 of 8 before they played us and were at home.

    Some people would have you believing that the Blazers are a team on the rise.

    Losing every time you play a shitty team is a battle on that point.

    just a random hypothesis, but isn't the mark of a young team that you play to the level of your competition?

    I thought I read Batum had a couple of blocks? The box score doesn't give him any.

    I bet it's fairly normal for 24-28 teams a year.

    He disrupted a lob, which didn't count as anything, really... but it was so high up it looked like a block.

    Don't disagree at all.

    Just saying we're already back to being stuck in anonymity/mediocrity.

    Guess what though... that's an improvement over last season. Let's just make sure it's just a phase.

    Barely. We started last year shocking the world. Then, we lost a ton of games to less-talented teams, beat superior teams, and everything blew up.

    It's a process. How many team's go from lotto pick to championship in one year? Rose took his team to a first round and out in his rookie year. Did that doom them to mediocrity forever? Of course not. Thunder lost to Lakers in first round 2.5 years ago. Are they still wallowing in mediocrity? Mavericks lost in first round in 2010 but they didn't linger in mediocrity. You have to take it step by step. Step 1, get into playoffs. We can take that step this year and it's necessary if we are to ever win a championship.

    Again, I don't disagree. In fact, i totally agree. Can peeps not read? Y'all not edu-ma-cated?

    Where have I disputed the performance? Just not going bi-polar, cream-my-pants over every up-and-down. Sorry for that. Am I wrong for not joining the KingSpeed train? I don't get too high, don't get too low. Nothing personal. I prefer the long-term over the short-term.

    Blazers have been a team of ups and downs for a few years now. I'll settle in when the Blazers do the same and become consistent.

    Agreed. Lets keep winning, too. I expected us to be 1-2, or even 0-3, at this point of the trip. Lets not disappear as in game two.
