    Salty? Not sure how you got that. I just thought it was funny that in one post you called them useless and the very next post said they have looked pretty god this year.

    Jeez Houston has great ball movement. Man I wished we had gotten them out of the way earlier in the season.

    Yep, damn we still play them twice but we play Memphis twice too so it could equal out.

    Houston is good but I believe we can play with them.

    We can beat them if they don't call 17 extra fouls THE OTHER WAY. That's the shit that scares me.

    Haven't watched this video yet, but we never would've gotten Dame if Roy never got hurt and I'd rather have Dame.

    Why not? Are you claiming we wouldn't have traded Gerald Wallace to New Jersey and wouldn't have drafted Dame to replace Raymond Felton at point guard?

    No way to know, but it's not outside the realm of possible outcomes.

    We traded Wallace because the team had lost a bunch of games by 40 points. So we blew up the whole team. If Roy was there, we would've played better and never would've blown it up.

    Bunch???? That team had one 40 point loss all season, and another by 35. But they also had wins of 38, 40 and 44.

    NJN wanted Gerald Wallace and thought he was the missing piece for them. Wallace and Batum were redundant. So, it's not inconceivable we would have traded Wallace had Roy been healthy.

    We were trailing by 40 at some point in some of the games around then too. Then we got destroyed by Knicks. Nate was fired, Camby and Wallace were traded. Complete blow up. If we were having a great season, why would we have traded Wallace for a pick. It's not like we knew we were gonna get Dame with that pick.

    Watching these HOU/MIN highlights, Harden got 3 assists in a row on terribad transition D. Thibs is supposed to be a defensive coaching stud.

    Not worried about MIN in the playoffs. Bring it.

    They're better with Butler who may be back before season is over.

    Why to you assume we would have had a great season? Raymond Felton was our starting PG.

    Roy was pretty good. We started that season hot. With Roy, we wouldn't have imploded like we did. If we did, then how good is Roy anyway. Anyway, that's what I think. I'll watch the video later. I'm curious about it.

    538 says the Blazers now have a 3% chance to WIN the NBA championship.

    Sounds small to some, but I can't ever remember it being so large.
