    Well see. I just don't think they play quick/fast or physical enough on either end to do what you think is possible. When they are made to or it's forced upon them they get themselves into trouble. I've seen it many times this year. It's almost as if the opponent over whelms them at times with a good fast solid defense and offense. And in the playoffs, the speed of the game picks up even more.

    Appreciate the positive attitude! However, we are a piece or two away, and until we can beat the Spurs in a series, this wont be the year.

    So when we beat the Spurs in a series, will that mean that this is the year?

    In the playoffs the game slows way down, it doesn't pick up speed.

    To smash their way through the playoffs, the Blazers will need a player that averages 26+ points PG, 10+ reboundsPG, and also makes 2/3 (.667) of his 3 PT tries.


    Impossible you say? That is what LMA “averaged” in his 11 playoff games last season.


    Everyone remembers Dames “The Shoot”, and believes the Blazers got lucky. Great, that means they are forgetting about how LMA smashed his opponents’ last playoffs and put the Blazers in a position to win.
