It could have helped, but what vet out there would have been the difference maker? And of those players, would it have been worth the potential cost? It's easy to say that 'we needed a vet' after a loss (or potential loss) as though that actually would have made such a huge difference. You know how they say we're 1-11 on the road against the other 8 teams in the playoff hunt? Whats their record in Portland? Lakers: 0-0 Spurs: 0-2 Hornets: 1-1 (and 1-1 on the road) Utah: 0-1 in Portland (with another to go) Mavs: 1-0 (their loss sucked) Suns: 0-1 (one more home game against the Suns) Denver: 0-1 (and 0-2 on the road, with another home game to end the season) Rockets: 0-1 (we only play them once in Portland) So we're 7-2 at home against the elite, with 5 more games at homes against the elite and 3 more road games against them. So yes, it sucks to be so crappy on the road, but it's not like we're getting beaten badly at home either.
No one player fixes all of this teams weaknesses. It's just a young team and they play like it at times.
Why the fuck have Sergio and Frye shot the ball. Frye needs to be cut, and tonight shows that he is the piece of shit I knew he was. The thing Nate has done that pisses me off is why play Sergio against Chauncey? Bayless is much quicker and better at D.
Yes. This team needs another leader outside of Roy and especially one that can create their own shot. Not making trade just means management gave up on making noise in the playoffs this season.
This teams needs to get older first. I don't think they needed to make a big trade this year because some fans are horribly impatient.
You can see when he has both his inside and outside game going, he is nearly unstoppable to defend. He just has to realize that and capitalize on it.
