Fail. You lost in Chicago with Deng and Cpt. Kirk - and we now got Ruffin! For the record - this year against Chicago's roster, or Brad Miller and John Salmons (at the Kings) the Blazers are 5-0 Nothing says scary like the prospect of playing Brad Miller and Salmons. Face it buddy, the much improved Tyrus Thomas would be struggling getting backup PF minutes in Portland... That sequence in Portland where a huffing and puffing Oden just back from injury blocked TT 3 times in a row was funny.
I'm a little surprised BG is wasting his time over here when he should be crowing about Ben Gordon winning EC player of the week.
Truly beyond words and only surpassed in stupidity by your thesis "The young Blazers are going to fail because they young Bulls did" logic from earlier this season. You have no idea how to process information in a logical manner. I suggest you invest in a typewriter as to not embarrass yourself any further.
So does that mean the Eastern Conference was weaker from 1992-2000 because they had one champion (Chicago) while the Western Conference had three (Houston, San Antonio, Lakers)? Nonsense. The strength of a conference isn't determined by the NBA champion. The strength of a conference is determined by the cumulative wins and losses of the teams in that conference outside of their conference. The Magic have the most dominant big man in the game (and he's only 23). Chicago, after 80 games, is a .500 team. Just think about those two facts for a minute. Hedo and Rashard are getting older, but Howard and Orlando are exactly the kind of things high quality free agents gravitate to. Unlike, say, Chicago. Orlando is going to be a contender for years to come. Chicago might be one day.
The Bulls are a playoff team by default. They clinched a spot with a losing record in the EASTERN conference. You have nothing to be proud of. You also are in no place to talk down to a MUCH superior team.
