This is what’s so frustrating about being a Blazer fan. The Lakers can go through a few down years, but then bounce right back when they sign some big free agent. Meanwhile, the Blazers plod along in mediocrity, never being able to sign free agents, and never being able to rise to the top tier of the NBA. Sure, we can put together a winning season and entertain hopes of winning it all, but it’s really the big market teams and the glamour destinations that usually prevail. Frustrating as hell.
No, they're not. We are 10-4, they are 8-6. They also just lost Rondo for at least a couple of weeks.
On a night where LeBron is hitting from three and his teammates are feeding off of that, the Blazers probably lose unless Dame and CJ are on fire.
Based on past playoff performances, why would you expect anything other than sputtering disappointment from this team?
Two? How bout we start by just winning one! It’s been more than two full seasons since we’ve done that... god we suck.
It’s not a big deal that their better than us. They have Lebron James one of the best players of all time. On top of that McGee decides to be a top 10 Center this year. It’s nothing to be ashamed about to lose those to those fucks. But we are a good team as well. The way they are constructed unfortunately is a perfect recipe to be our kryptonite
No, it’s nothing to be ashamed of, especially considering that the only free agents Portland can get are players like Nick Stauskas, who nobody has ever heard of. But that’s not the point. Don’t you want to be an elite team??? Don’t you want to actually contend for a title rather than just dream about it year after year?? Portland is NEVER in the top tier. I’m sick of it. We’re just good enough to get your hopes up, but never good enough to win a championship. Meanwhile, the Lakers can land the best player in the league just about any time they want to, and just cruise to another title.
