    We are not as good as a lot of so called experts thought. Of course, those "experts" didn't think much of us until we started to win a lot of those early games.

    I wonder what they will say now.

    I'm trying to joke so I can stomach the blown game. We had this and gave it away.

    Am I overreacting based on what I just witnessed? I don't think so. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

    This is seriously looking like a 0-6 road trip.

    what makes you think they will? Crawfords awesome shooting %, or the teams stellar defense?

    Because I'm not sure there is anything that makes me think the team will win more than 1 game on this trip.

    Ugh, this team is not very fun to watch. They are not exactly "clutch" either, missing wide open shots, not being able to get shots in the half court set, passing up open shots for contested ones. Felton and Crawford continue hold brick fests every night.....

    I knew they would choke the game away in OT. I don't know what Portland will do with their cap space next year either, because not many players are available. I used to think they should use it to keep this team together, but I'm not too fond of Crawford or Felton right now.

    I'm so frustrated at out point guard play. Why are they so freaking brain-dead? It's like they have no basketball sense whatsoever.

    And the free throws, oh god the free throws. I had no confidence every time they went to the line in OT and I was right. They blew it.

    If this is Felton in shape, I hope they don't resign him.

    If this is Crawford in shape, I hope they waive him tomorrow.

    Without looking at the boxscore, guess which Blazer had the highest +, with +6. Also, who had the biggest - (by far) with -13.

    The road will be a cold, lonely place for the Blazers this year.

    Batman in action.

    This name needs to catch on because it's totally applicable.

    There should be a separate category of chasedown blocks. So much better than regular rejections. Three has got to be at or near the record for a single game. Take that LeBron!

    Wrong and wrong! (Well - one of the names was right, but in the wrong category.)

    Except for Nic - he's actually playing almost as much better on the road as Wallace is worse. I vote that Wallace actually stays home in Portland and Nic gets all the minutes away from home. He played entire games for Nancy...
