    We beat them for most of the game. They could maybe steal one game in the series. But they can't steal 4. We're the better team. I think we're even better when Rondo plays.

    People are saying shit like we're falling to the 8th seed and he truth of the matter is that we have the 5th best record in the NBA and we're having a good season. Enjoy it.

    We're 1 loss - likely tomorrow after this debacle - from being tied with the 7th place team in the loss column. We were 30-8. Now we're 34-17. Should we not be concerned?

    Of the top 4 teams in the West, we're the only team that won a playoff series last year.

    So someone can say something about today and you say look at the season. But you can say "If the playoffs were today..."

    Hmm... double standard much?

    This team is in trouble. Face it. And also, stop saying we have wins when we don't. Isn't that the same thing as not looking at the whole game? Let it ALL play out, just like you tell us to do for the season. It's the same philosophy. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Take your own advice.

    What does that have to do with this year? Nothing.

    We are the division leader, so we up by 8.5 games for the #4 seed. We can't fall below that unless the Thunder pass us. No reason to be concerned at all.

    So? What does that have to do with anything. Dallas was the only team to give san antonio fits in the playoffs so what?

    When is it that you ever think Blazers are doing bad? This past month this team has been terrible then you blow this game on top of that.

    Everything. Our team has recent experience winning in the playoffs. You need experience to go deep in playoffs. VERY RARELY does a team go from out in the first round to winning the championship. It almost NEVER happens.

    No. No it doesn't. You're grasping at straws. Just stop, take your own advice. Stop saying we won games when it's not over.

    We have the 5th best record in the NBA. That's awesome. We lost Roy and Oden and in only a couple seasons have put together a winner. I'm very happy with the team.

    The team sucks right now. So bad. NO team should be giving up 16 point leads (11 in the last 2) with a team that has Rondo out.

    I'm not grasping at straws. I'm speaking at truth. I thought we'd win the game, we didn't. I have no control over the outcome of games. Why do you care? If this was Game 7 of the Finals, then this would be upsetting. But it wasn't. Just a regular season game in February. Win tomorrow, beat the Lakers and go into the break with a 36-17 record.
