    to all of you who believe this is a "troll" post i am a true blazer fan. i am simply asking how others believe this team is preforming. I have always been a fan and will always be a fan, i'm not saying this team is bad i am saying they can improve in certain areas. I am simply being realistic.

    Season such is all things in life is a marathon. You can't be at a level 10 all the time. If you were, burnout would occur. There will be ebbs and flows throughout the season. Moments in which they are playing really well and times where they are doing well enough to get by. Interestingly, you say they are playing poor. They are still tied with the best record in the league. What you want to see is that they peak at the right time. I'd rather see them play their best ball in April rather than December.

    You say?

    Yes, and when it starts to get harder, you will see I am right.

    I guess I know nothing because defense doesn't matter

    you could be right.

    Every team can improve in certain areas.

    Hell, the Heat suck at one of the "essential" parts of basketball *rebounding* and they've won 2 titles back-to-back.

    Advice: just go back to being "- the 14 year old kid".

    "the 14 year old kid". Clever, yet transparent, persona.

    Blazers 8-1 in games decided by 4 points or less (counting OT). As a comparison to the 90-91 team, they were 26-3 at this point and were 7-0 in games decided by 4 points or less. So every team has battles.

    You know what rook, there may be a "downfall" coming. I'm sure we'll have a losing streak at sometime during the marathon. That said, sit back and enjoy the ride tip' that happens.

    I never knew mixum was a father. I wonder what it would be like to be raised by someone who would always tell you that you weren't good enough or that you were destined for failure.

    Awww, the little bugger is only 14. Give him a break, he doesn't know any better. Give him another couple of years and he'll start seeing the bigger picture on how things in the real world operate.

    To answer the OP's question, even if we went 1 for 1 the rest of the year, our record would be 50W 31L. Which would more than likely get us into the playoffs. Last year we were 33-49. Think about that.
