    Ever since our win in golden state, they've looked bad. This reminds me of when OKC broke ours two years ago. They seem like they are second guessing themselves and their defense has really looked bad.

    Thoughts?

    I agree that Iggy is important for their success, they have enough firepower to compete in the league. I understand losing to marquee teams, but they lost to sub .500 teams.

    The West is just insanely good this year IMO, regardless of record

    So did Philly break Miami's back? They've lost to sub .500 teams.

    i think blazers and spurs are only teams in west that stand a chance, everyone else has injuries and/or chemistry issues

    Miami is still one of the best record teams. They are also proven champions. When Golden State has that under their belt, then I would never have this conversation.

    The record after our win against them is a sub .500 record. I believe it's .390.

    Exactly my point. All teams go through slumps. Miami, GS, OKC, etc.

    How can 4 loss teams be in a slump?

    Also why would you say Philly broke Miami's back after I said GS lost to sub .500 teams? I didn't say the sub .500 teams broke GS's back, I said we broke their back.

    Can't help when you allow Houston to shoot 60% while you shoot only 20% in the 1st quarter. 31-12 after one quarter... yikes.

    Let's hope that Utah doesn't break the Blazers back.

    All teams go through slumps. It's a fact. 4 losses or not, all teams except one chicago team in the history of the league have gone through slumps.

    And for the record, OKC didn't break our back. Scott Foster did. Still chaps my ass.

    No we didn't. They are a shooting team. When shots down fall they lose. They don't have a true inside player.

    No, they didn't.
    They've beaten NO, SAC, and TOR since we played them and lost to DAL and OKC... that's losses to teams above 500 and in the playoff race, and wins over the sub 500 teams.
