    Good night folks. Hope they pull it together. Maybe make some moves here when they become available. Try and turn the season around. Don’t quit on em guys. You can see they are trying to find the combination.

    That's quite a theory...

    Two vastly different results are due to the few constants of the two seasons and not the multitude of variables that have changed?

    that was pretty deflating to watch. Is that really the best this team can do? I understand a little bit of hangover from the Hood injury, but there seemed to be a lot more wrong tonight than just being flat

    There are always variables to this stuff, but if you couldn't tell their attitude's changed I'm not sure what to tell you. Look at how pissed off the "leaders" of the team were after the NO sweep vs last year. Big difference.

    Blazers were down 4 in the 4th quarter of Game 1, so they were in it. They were in every game, but most people forget that.

    Yeah they were up by 15+ in 3 of those games, but because they were "in it" at the end only proves that they were capable of collapsing when GS turned it on.

    Dame started off the season doing everything he could to will an unbalanced roster. CJ has been inconsistent to start the season like we've seen in many other years. That stuff hasn't changed.

    We as humans are horrible at assessing what other people are thinking and feeling, so I try to stay out of playing psychologist.

    The facts are that this roster is signficantly different than last year (injuries included). When you compare the additions/subtractions from last years roster, it's not even close which group you'd expect to win more games, again, injuries included.

    GS showed their experience, players and coaches. Getting to the WCF with that group was far beyond what should've been realistic expectations, their 3 all-stars beat our 1.

    Exactly this!

    Last year they were on a pissed off mission to prove that the team that was swept by the Pelicans wasn't their true form, plus jobs were on the line for Stotts and Olshey in particular.

    This year the 4 constants (Olshey, Stotts, CJ, and Dame) all got fat extensions and all talked about how the team was a championship contender.
