BLAZERS @ HEAT - MARCH 24TH, 2014 - MONDAY, 4:30 PM (PST), NBATV & CSNNW

All part of the cunning plan! They want to get rid of LMA, but don't want to endure the fan backlash. So, they are going to goad him into demanding a trade. That gets them off the hook AND gives them an ironclad excuse to lower expectations for the forseeable future.

Low expectations, not success, are a coaches'/GM's best friend. Add in an owner who has been seduced by the knowledge that the NFL actually allows small market teams to win...and we are pretty well boned.

 

i bet on Orlando Tommorow.. easy decision..


good night guys , stay healty

 

Well NBA coaches seem to disagree with you across the board so hating LaMarcus Aldridge must be a lonely place to be

 

Dirk is a Allstar too. is that enough..

 

Who cares? Those guys suck.

Yep. We're in hot water. And it will take Aldridge time we don't have to regain his rhythm.

 

BG be trollin' even more than me

Sure was when he won a ring with Stotts as the offensive coordinator. Yeah...I'm a fan of LaMarcus Aldridge. You hate the guy, your choice. I happen to be really glad he's a Blazer.

 

I didn't get to see the game but sounds like we lost on a last second shot to the defending champs. I don't see the reason to give up.

 

Whom we are playing doesn't matter anymore. We need WINS. Moral victories are fine in December. Not so in late March. But no one is giving up.

 

I haven't heard the fat lady sing yet, it's not over. Need a win streak and momentum going into the first round.

 

Get a win tomorrow, hopefully get LMA back for the end of the trip, then come back home and rack up the wins in front of the home fans. No reason to panic - we did not play well tonight, but played hard and that was almost enough to beat Miami in Miami.

 

Well said. Blazers aren't giving up and fans shouldn't either.
