Maybe it's just a coincidence, but even since "The Cheap Shot Heard 'Round the World" against Rudy the Blazers have played very poorly.
They weren't exactly lighting up the world before the foul either (outside of the Lakers and Spurs game). So much for Brandons "talk" to the team.
Well what do you expect when half your team are rookies and they're hitting the rookie wall like a freight train.
I spoke too soon when I said the younsters hadn't gone into a funk yet this season. Plus they so banged up. They're getting pretty raggedy but I think they've got enough left in the tank to get themselves into the first round and that's really all I wanted for this season. It's a good season to build on.
When you're missing 3 players that would have major parts in your rotation (Oden, Webster, Rudy), and are now pretty depleted on the wing, it's understandable.
Yeah, other than totally dominating the two best teams in the Western Conference, they pretty much sucked. BNM
