    Cavs are #1 in East. We were around #10 maybe worse in the lowly West.

    I assume it's over? Everyone left. I notice no celebration. No party thread. Should I start it or you? So I have to guess whether we won or lost?

    I was going to put up the "plucky" Phil Hartman picture. But we weren't plucky. We were shit.

    Moses Malone, Dr J, Charles Barkley....none of those Philly teams beat the Blazers by as much in Philly as what happened tonight.

    Yeah, NOW they do. Thanks to beating Portland. Again, the Warriors losing to Detroit isn't the same as Portland losing to Philadelphia.

    Detroit is *above* .500, so losing to them isn't comparable.

    Maybe he would be better starting. He comes in off the bench and seems to be afraid to take his first shot and then probably somebody yells at him from the stands to shoot the damn ball so he rushes his next shot and misses it. Also his ego is so fragile he might need to start to feel confident. I would still try to trade him though once we get him jump-started.

    Eh....about that.....

    I didn't account for East Coast Times, so I missed this game until the late 3rd quarter. And when I saw the score, I snorted, waved the game off, and took a shower instead.

    What the hell happened here? Was there any one person who was not pulling their weight, or was it just the entire team that sucked balls tonight?

    Very disappointing indeed. Glad I didn't watch it, though there is merit to seeing a losing game I suppose.

    We lost to a 4-37 team.....that's tough to swallow.

    I was really starting to get jazzed about the idea of making the playoffs since the team was plying so well as of late, but this loss cements what I've been thinking: We're not ready for postseason hoops.

    We lose by 15-20 to Utah without Gobert, Favors, Burcs, Exum, etc and now this performance against a Sixers team that has all of four wins this season.

    I'm still enjoying the season for what it is, but we need our lottery pick.

    The Blazers really do care about each and every fan, tonight they gave a performance just to make Canzano and Jaynes happy.
