    nah. realism and pessimism are different, as are homerism and extreme homerism. In my feeble mind anyway

    well said, I think I forecast 48 wins in the preseason poll, that may be close to the mark

    I suppose. And I'll admit your brand of incorrect was closer than my brand of incorrect to the truth (though my initial predictions weren't too bad; I just got swept up in the moment).

    When I feel like I do now, I think that Portland won't win another game against an opponent above .500... Something nobody is talking about; we haven't beaten one since mid January (iirc).

    Re: Kingspeed is not happy with the team right now.

    So the team got off to a much better start than anyone anywhere anticipated. They have come back to earth and playing much more where people expected and suddenly it's a coching firing worth disaster? I suspect Olshey had a road map of his plan and is going to stick to it instead of getting overly excited about a better than expected start of a season.

    LOL. I thought you were speaking in the third person.

    maybe the blazers should shoot more 3's
    obviously if they did that they'd go back to winning.

    They also did not play Duncan or Parker so not the only ones missing people.

    Hang in there, KS. The wheels are wobbling a little bit, that's to be expected. We've got a LONG way to go before we can say the wheels have come off...

    I love threads that start off in the 3rd person.

    Re: Kingspeed is not happy with the team right now.

    Lillard is finishing at rim better since all-star game. I think a 20 game win streak is in order.

    Re: Kingspeed is not happy with the team right now.

    I like the Blazers roster this season. Not going to throw crap at them when they lose a game. Too much panic here for a "fan site". See you all when the threads show more team support. Adios!

    Re: Kingspeed is not happy with the team right now.

    The difference between the 31-9 team at that point of the season and now, is that they cant finish games. the Blazers this season are not able to impose their will on teams and are almost always in close games for 4 quarters, thus when the breaks go the other way they lose the close games. During that 31-9 stretch we won plenty of games that could've gone the other way we kind of had a mojo and won most, now games that we were winning earlier are being lost in the last minutes.

    Really this team can beat anyone, but can lose to anyone also, close games dictate that, they just didn't lose those very often.

    Re: Kingspeed is not happy with the team right now.

    Didn't the OP say the Blazers would win at least 58 games and laughed at anyone that suggested other wise? Didn't he also say there was no way the Blazers would ever lose 5 games in a 10 game stretch? Should I go bring that thread back up. It's pretty funny.
