    My prediction is we will win some games we should have lost, and lose some games we should have won.

    The wins we will used as proof that we suck because we lost games we were predicted to win.

    0-20

    That way I'm all but guaranteed to not be disappointed based on my prediction.

    Think I will skip the GS game and SA game threads. That'll get ugly.

    Tough games. We need to go 11-9 or at least 10-10. But I say 12-8

    I don't mind losing to teams that are clearly better (GSW, not SAS), so long as we don't play stupid.
    Actually, losing to teams that are our equals isn't too awful if we aren't playing stupid.
    Mostly I hate playing stupid, and we almost always play stupid. That's what pisses me off. I hate stupid basketball.

    See, that’s what is interesting to me. Why? Why would any person with common sense get upset with us losing to those teams? Do you actually think we should beat them? Just don’t understand delusional people.

    I can understand this. I can understand wanting our boys to put on a good showing against quality clubs.

    Seriously! When has Aminu EVER been a player you pass to in the post?! We were doing it with Turner, too. Turner at least as some ability in the post, but it clearly wasn't working last night. He should only ever post when he has smaller players on him, not lengthy defenders.

    But the whole team, aside from Pat and Vonleh, is playing stupid basketball.

    I get upset watching us lose but I am not going to miss the games because I'm PO'ed. And I'm not delusional enough to think we can win. I just want to miss the hand wringing on the board while we get killed. What, you want me to turn into Tunchi?

    I know many Fans Don't want to hear that, but I think the Blazers will crash back down to earth in the next months and it's gonna be really ugly. Blazers had the easyiest Schedule so far in the league and some couple of wins gainst teams who missed their best player. I still think the Blazers make the Playoffs easily, but only because the clippers and Grizzlies have some serious injuries and the jazz have a weak offense. I Wonder why olshey wasn't on Blazers home games since Oktober 25th? Maybe he plans a big change in summer? You've heard what he said on the podcast that there isn't any chance to beat the warriors. I believe we see something big in the next summer. Burn me if im wrong
