    We are not very far from moving to top 5 of the draft.

    The only one in Memphis helping our Tank is Chandler Parsons. I can't believe he is more dedicated to the cause the Zach Randolph

    Incredible - we have 2 more wins than the team in 27th place in the league. I will NOT be watching this game.

    The butthurt was strong when multiple experts picked the Jazz to finish ahead of us.

    Portland should start trying to help other teams..like, trade Crabbe to Boston for Brooklyns pick...

    That seems fair, right? ;)

    Well at least we were half right. This is also the year the experts thought MIN would make the leap.

    I also laughed when experts were putting Washington ahead of Oregon in football, this was truly a horrible sports season all the way around.

    The Mariners had the best record of all of my favorite teams this year (assuming the Blazers don't decide to ruin their draft stock), that's how bad they all are!

    I don't know what's gotten into Dame, but I don't feel comfortable with him handling the ball in crunch time anymore. He isn't poised and makes stupid decisions.

    Feel a lot more comfortable with CJ leading the way. It's amazing how good he's become.

    Need the right 3rd piece for these two to maximize their talents and gets some synergy. Really glad we have more trade pieces to try to get that guy.

    I have hope for the Mariners every single year. At least they have been really active in the offseason this year. Gives me hope (again).

    That's the circle we're in. I'm excited for spring training every year and that's usually tempered by the end of May. I'm also really excited for Blazer training camp and well, you know......
    I'm not sure where we are, and I'm not saying this life isn't real or we're not living, but Sly could be Mephistopheles.

    Between my fandom for the Trail Blazers, Mariners and Chargers, I've come to terms that my favorite teams will never win a championship in my lifetime.
