    Great post, mediocre boy! You're spot-on in identifying that championship teams are constructed in a specific way, and that we've greatly deviated from the mold. Championship teams aren't built around PFs. And when they are (Spurs) the PF is still able to perform the primary functions of a PF - set good screens, play good man AND help defense, rebound the ball, and keep the ball moving on offense. Go back over the past 30 years and find a team that made it to the Finals that was built around a PF who didn't do those things.

    For most of the season, we were one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. Losing Wes set us back. If we win this series, will you admit you were wrong?

    This. MediocreMan's act is tiresome. He still wishes we traded Aldridge for a chance at one of this year's weak draft class. I haven't missed him.

    This is brainiacs 103 year old great aunt, I also want everybody to know that Wes going down has zero to do with the blazers defense. Its all the fault of Paul Allen for not making them like the seahawks, you know, speed freaks.

    This is the 900 year old uncle of Doctor Octagon, Mr. Gerbik. I am half shark/alligator, half man. I think Meyers Leonard is white.

    Is there some way to make lillard really short? Then both of PAs field generals will be hobbits.

    Maybe Paul Allen should add neon green to the blazers jerseys. Couldn't hurt.

    I'm not saying we should replace the hardwood court with fake grass. But I'm not not saying it either.

    I think instead of confetti dropping from the ceiling, they should drop F bombs

    The intensity just isn't there. How are the blazers supposed to compete without rambling drug addled frothing incoherent post game interviews?

    You can always bring in strippers to add energy
