    It's always nice to read outside sources respecting our Blazers...

    That's nice. Really nice. Hopefully we can validate his opinion on the court next month.

    Even if we can't, it shows the national respect this team is getting. I still think it's 35/65 we get out of the 1st round, but that doesn't mean this season was a total success.

    We blew out the Spurs and Suns at the Rose Garden but only "beat" the Lakers?

    A 2nd round playoff exit isn't a "total success"?

    I was saying a 1st round exit is still a total success. You must have misread my post.

    If you are in the playoffs, your goal is to win it all. You never know how many opportunities you might get.

    For sure. But not reaching every one of your goals doesn't mean your season isn't a success.

    We only "beat" the Lakers, and Ariza only gave Rudy a love tap.
