    Yep. Back to "boring" LMA, instead of "Trying to improve" LMA.

    No matter how you want to spin it, they were losers of 7 of 9.

    We barely lost to OKC, SA, IND... were we hot and confident then, too?

    We have different expectations than they do. They have moral wins. We don't. They were confident. That is my point.

    well, after BARELY losing to the Lakers, and playing so-so against the Hawks right now, the Blazers must be extremely confident.

    No they don't. You can't assume they have moral wins. We can't tack on expectations we believe them to have.

    We're not shooting well. Pay attention to what I'm saying. What you said about 7 of 9 is true but what I said is true too and that is why the team was confident.

    Hmmm where's dviss. Maybe he can break that play down. I thought it was close.

    So when we hit those 20+ against Charlotte... we lost to Philadelphia the very next game AT HOME. Why does one game define being hot? Come on, be smarter than that.

    1 game does not "hot" or "confident" make.

    Here's how the Blazers are trying to compensate for Lillard on defense:

    They're literally switching on every pick and roll that features Lillard.

    I LISTEN TO THEM ON THE FUCKING RADIO. They were excited about almost beating OKC. They were smiling and laughing after shooting 19 of 27 from three against Sac. They were very excited to play us. Listen to me. I'm not making shit up. Why are you fighting me on this? I'm right.

    No it's not.

    Charlotte we hit 20 +

    Lost to Philadelphia the next game.

    Can't say it's a foregone conclusion when there's statistical proof that it's not true.
