    Here's the problem. YOU are acting like we ARE 20-50. We aren't. We're 7-7. We have an injured starter. We've played maybe the toughest schedule in the league. And we're slumping. But you bet, I'll back my team in good times and bad. I believe in Dame. Don't you?

    This team was supposed to be a top 4 team in the Western Conference. YOU had them as the BEST TEAM IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE. A team that is that good should NEVER have to fight to win against a team that is 2-10.

    PERIOD.

    Plum had a near triple double tonight. This was a turning point game for us. I remember in 2007, when Blake threw the chair. The next game, we got blown out by the Spurs (we were 5-12) but the effort was there. After that game, we won 13 straight games. I see that coming up for our team. I'm proud of how they fought on the glass tonight.

    Go Blazers

    We're only a game behind the 4 seed right now. Calm down. It's not where you start, it's where you finish.

    How many of those wins came against winning teams? I only see Utah and Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors where injured in that win. So don't let the 7 wins fool you. Marshmallow schedule.

    Why don't you include rebounds? Only focusing on negative?

    So are we supposed to beat all the bad teams AND beat all the good teams? So you were expecting 82-0? Doesn't work that way.

    You guys can't complain abut rebounding when we win and then ignore rebounding when we lose. Give the guys credit. They fought on the glass tonight.

    CJ may be better than Dame (no offense to Dame) so that would be stupid.
