    What do think of as reasonable goals for salvaging this season. Is it wins and losses and a playoff berth, is it Andre and Roy learning to play with each other, is it Bayless getting burn, is it Nate getting the heave ho, or is it something else entirely? Vote and/or explain what you hope to see.

    I hope you learn some grammar.

    And the Blazers make it past the first round. Whatever it takes.

    I think that would fall firmly under the "Other" category.

    We have to make a trade.

    As is, we can't make the playoffs. We poured our HEARTS into the games in Cleveland and Milwaukee. Played so hard and tough and still lost the games.

    We need a trade.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Well, since it was multiple-choice, I selected all of them except the first option. I didn't choose the first option because I don't have the <fill in the blank>s. I don't believe in firing someone if there isn't an available option that has a good chance of being superior.

    "Other" would be Bayless emerging with some more minutes per game.

    about to post the same thing about Bayless claiming a starting spot/thriving this season. That would make me very happy.

    I voted other, and that means I want Bayless to start.

    . . .Nate got some perspective through his stubborn head, whilst able to watch the games from afar.

    I would like to make the playoffs, even if it's squeaking in as the 8th seed and getting bounced by LA. When you consider the injuries, back to back playoff seasons is something to build on. Best case is we get healthy, and our young guys are getting burn and playing well - gives us some momentum for next season. My hope is that is sinks in at some point that Blake (for all his grittiness & heart) just isn't the answer and we see what Bayless can with 20+ minutes. And if Martell doesn't improve by February (who thinks he will?) by the time Batum & Rudy are back - bench him too. I don't know if there is going to be a trade - I sort of doubt it. But then again, it's hard to tell what's out there. A lot can change between now and the deadline - for us & for other teams.

    I'd definitely file that under 'other.'

    I have to chuckle a little..wasn't your opinion about 4 days ago that it was "totally doable" to get the 3rd seed in the West and make a deep playoff run?
