    Are we comparing the 90's CBA to this one? Are we comparing the 90's PA to the current one who led the cause for a hard cap and huge penalties for luxury tax teams?

    The new cba is perfect for teams with billion are owners. The 1999 blazers were actually at cap, FYI. Don't know how that applies.

    We must go 8-4. We need to win the next 4, win one game on the road trip, and win the last three. That puts us at 37-36 and should keep us in the hunt.

    Can we officially be done with this asinine playoff talk?

    You can be a fan and still be realistic.

    Like saying you would love to have Jefferson? Then when confronted that Jefferson plays terrible defense; you reply "doesn't matter cause we will score more points than the other team?"

    Well it is not like the guy is Hickson. He plays some defensive areas pretty well. And it is true. You can outscore another team and win.

    I would take Jefferson depending on the price.

    Ah, look at MAGS gettin' frisky and tying to question The HCP........ I basically meant that if we could have him as our starting center, I'd do it in a second. There aren't that many good defensive big men in the league and even fewer that have Jeff's post game.

    I'm having a hard time remembering a team that got a lot better by trading their first round picks every other year?

    Lakers will lose tomorrow probably. Not because of Kobe but because the Pacers are good. And then we'll only have one more loss than them.

    True; the Clips traded theirs after they drafted them... but that's not quite the same is it.

    Okay, so it's not over yet but it's getting there. By my calculations, we have to win 3 games on this road trip. There are four left. All 4 would be huge. 3 puts us at 34-36 with 8 of final 12 at home. That is where we need the big win streak. Tough loss but if we win the next three, I'm good.

    I still believe but the winning streak must start tomorrow.

    How many times will you change your mind on if the "season is over" or not? I put the over under at 2.5
