The Blazers beat Phoenix twice...

That's gotta mean something, given their destruction of the Spurs.

 

We also got our asses handed to us the four other games.

 

Game 6 wasn't that bad.

I rather 4-2 with 4 blowout losses than getting swept in any fashion.

 

So, you're saying we're better than San Antonio?

The same San Antonio we swept during the regular season?

I agree.

 

I guess I'm just increasingly cynical, but this does nothing to comfort me whatsoever.

 

San Antonio was a lower seed than us fer fucks sake.

"We won two games!!!!!!"

deary, deary me.

 

What the Suns are doing is amazing. The way they drubbed us in Game 3 on the road. The way they trailed by 14 in Game 5 and still
blew us out. And Game 6- Nash has 6 turnovers in the 1st quarter, Amare has only three rebounds, Martell and Rudy shoot the lights out, and the Suns still win. Same thing in the SA series. Didn't matter how great SA played in stretches and how badly the Suns played in stretches, somehow the Suns always had more points at the end of the game. I'm impressed. I hope they win it all. Nash deserves it.

 

Yeah, we were so many games better than the Spurs, right?

 

Don't forget, we were at full strength, while the Spurs core was in shambles.

 

Fire McMuffin

 

Totally. Maybe Pop will be available soon?

 

Um, WHAT?

You really REALLY REALLY try way too hard.

Sorry, I don't consider doing better than a team that's worse than us an accomplishment.

Even so, can't wait for our new banner next year.

"WON 2 MORE GAMES VS. THE SUNS THAN SAN ANTONIO DID 09-10"

 

NO! Give him an extension!!!!!!

Think he'll sign it this time?



Me either.

 

I hope they come out with the same kind of intensity against L.A. in the conference finals. Maybe Channing can keep Bynum or Gasol out of the paint on defense. On the flip side, they could get thrashed by LA's bigs.

 

It's pretty obvious that Tince is actually, in fact, Nate McMillan's agent.

 

Man, some of you guys work really, really hard at being negative.

 

Negativity is in the eye of the beholder. Some of us like to think of ourselves as realists.

 

Let me see if I understand:

"This is a crap team that overachieved for 2 games out of 6." = optimistic.

"This team underperformed and can do better." = pesimistic.

Glad we cleared that up!

 

No. You lost, anyway. Don't make something out of nothing.

 

I wish! I'd probably be making a hell of a lot more money!
