    I can see it now. The Suns will somehow beat us tomorrow and this will be your post:

    "The Suns swept the Bucks this season and beat the Lakers last week so stop being negative guys!"

    I've made it clear I don't care how other teams are playing. I care that the Blazers have lost 3 of 4. Instead of having a legit shot at the 2 seed we are now a game behind that team that has lost 5 of 7.

    I wasn't predicting it, nor do I want it to happen.

    I understand, but I think we're playing fine. We need to tune up some things, but I believe we're capable of beating anybody.

    My favorite part:

    I hear this all the time after the officials fuck up and determine the outcome of a game. How exactly are they held accountable? Cause I see the same guys year after year and every year they suck.

    I think as long as you have Dame & CJ as dominate
    I think the Blazers are going to be a hard out, scrappy, playoff team.

    Im sure they have an objective way to measure a Ref's performance, it would be nice to know how they evaluate a ref's overall performance regardless of season play or playoffs.

    So we just got swept by a team that has lost 5 of 7. Not sure that makes me feel better about how they are playing.

    One thing I took from that game. Dame has surpassed Westbrook. He’s clearly the better player.

    Not to me. PG won and we had basically no prayer once Nurk was ejected.

    Omg fuck me. I didn’t know Kanter is a four year $70 million deal. We’re fucked. ET 2.0. Our management is moronic.

    Calm down, he's not. That was the contract he was on before NY bought him out. He's on the vet min (or just above it) for the rest of the season here.

    I'm sure they're constantly evaluated, I'm more interested in how they are held accountable (i.e PUNISHED!)
