    So you're a new Blazer fan? This is nothing...you take success a quarter at a time in a rebuild and until the end...we were in this game...a masochist would take it very, very seriously....that wouldn't be me

    Sure seemed like we had a rash of unforced ones at the start of the second half. They for sure were applying more pressure, but we were making silly decisions and throwing the ball right to them.

    Like riverman said, let's get the next one.

    People like to say Bucks, Wolves, and Pelicans have brighter future because of their young talent but those teams aren't playing any better than us and we're having a bad season.

    At this point it's the same story every week though. Play well a game or two, then regress for a couple and look like dog shit, then start playing better again........

    What pisses me off the most is our holes shouldn't be that hard to fix. It's not like we're looking for franchise players. Just some god damn role players that can rebound and shoot a basketball.

    If you think they need to miss the playoffs, then you must be happy with the loss.

    It helps a lot if you get thrilled when we win and not surprised when we lose...this is that sort of season...Aminu was great tonight

    We have scored 238 points against Boston this year in two games. The offense is not the problem.

    Seems like the players often have difficulty being mentally switched on at either the start of games, or the start of the second half; or both.

    You either didn't read my post completely or misunderstood it slightly.

    Not scoring big. Just someone to dominate the boards

    We dominated the first half and really dropped it in the 3rd

    This is pretty much where I'm at right now. Expecting nothing and happy with whatever wins we get. Kind of how I started last season actually.
