    The problem with some of our fans is that almost all of our players are in that low experience range, and when some players don't perform as well as others at the same stage, "they'll just never get there." If our team were made up of veterans, we'd be lauding those young players for being able to see the court.

    I think Mixum's given up on the season... probably right around training camp.

    "Given up" implies "actually had high hopes at some point in time."

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    As per usual, he made some comments earlier in the year about how the Blazers look good enough to make the playoffs...he does that in an attempt to have something to bitterly rail at the Blazers for disappointing.

    I'm pretty convinced that MIXUM is a gimmick poster (and for those who will no doubt ask why he isn't banned then, I do not unilaterally decide who to ban, and anyway, I prefer not to ban people who aren't abusive).

    My advice is to either enjoy his gimmick or ignore him.

    Individually, the Blazers have some nice pieces. The problem is, the pieces don't quite fit.

    A) Something needs to be done about the center situation. Howard is old, Oden is injury prone, and Joel is both.

    B) The team has a bunch of guys who are good 3rd or 4th options on offense - but no 2nd option.

    The result is a team that is maddeningly incosistent. They can look great one night, and hideous the next.
