    Does that strike anyone else as, well, kind of pathetic? I get a sick feeling in my stomach every time I hear a Blazer say that. Should it not be, at least, to be Western Conference Champs?

    You would never hear Kobe and Phil say that, never. No matter the circumstances.

    I agree with you that the players should feel that way, but as reasonable fans, the next step is the second round. Anything else is a failure, IMO.

    That's all I've heard the players talk about during training camp, "getting past the first round ... "

    I guess we'll see.

    That's a more achievable goal than defeating the 2x champions

    This team hasn't reached it's peak yet. I agree that players should aim to be successful as possible but I see the REALISTIC scenario being a 2nd round exit.

    I think my goal for the team is definitely to stay healthy... and I think that's worse than getting out of the first round.
