Cleveland would be a great trading partner IF the Blazers would trade LaMarcus.

    To the Stotts coached, team of Lillard, Mathews Batum and Lopez. that's what. I'm not watering down the possibilites we are on the verge of achieving here. I'm not putting Nate McMillan or Maurice Cheeks or Mike Dunleavy in the conversation, Terry Stotts (also a championship)

    Terry Stotts has an under .500 record as a HEAD coach and a title as an Assistant....that is a pretty big difference. The list of assistant coaches with rings compared to head coaches is quite a cap. Pop and Phil have put a lot of rings on assistant's fingers.

    Of course it wasn't but history says they don't win Game 7 on the road. Listening to the interviews after game 6, I would say they were in no place to defy history.

    That shot was a great moment....a historical one in fact. But the fact is was so historical tells us how close we were to not moving on.

    Don't down play our beat down of Houston. We beat them fair and square. Any of you trying are trying to sell used cars.

    Nobody down played miami's last title. If you tried using sas epic last minute fade to discount miami's title is another epic failure


    Go Blazers!

    If you flip a coin and get heads 40 times in a row, what are the chances u get heads again on your next flip?

    Actually, many people commented during the title series how the Spurs were one unlucky bounce away from repeating. As for beating down Houston, Portland trailed for over 70% of that series. I love the fact they won and how they won was epic but there is still two sides to it.

    History says you don't win the first two games on the road.

    That series was tight and game 7 would have been the same.

    I don't even think that Lillard made that shot. It was a trick done with mirrors and some $$$$$ paid to the refs.

    There are two sides to a win in a basketball game, now that I agree with. One side, however, still wins

    The funny part about that play is that even though it was a 30 ft shot with only .9 seconds......Lillard was not off balance. He rarely is, regardless if he shooting from 3 feet or 30 feet. He has an amazing consistent form almost every time he shoots.

    Clearly this is why futbol is the sport of the future. Two sides, and sometimes nobody wins!

    Anyway, my two cents about trading LA to Cleveland...an emphatic "NO"

    I thought of something today. I'll forewarn you, it's ridiculous, nonetheless it did come to mind. I wonder if the Blazers quiet free agent period is their way to try to get LA to demand a trade.
