    I'm sorry, but that's just plain ridiculous. At the start of the season most predictions had the Blazers making the playoffs without any problems and probably winning a first round series. Despite all of the injuries they're still going to make the playoffs and, due to a sound roster move by KP to get Camby, they have a shot at accomplishing a first round win.

    KP and Nate have done a great job this year.

    This team is not progressing, individually

    Players that have not improved:

    LMA
    Rudy
    Bayless (slightly)
    Webster

    This team currently constructed will NEVER win a Western Conference Title, let alone an NBA championship

    Nice job adding the word "great" to my post. Depending upon the matchup, I'd give the Blazers about a 30-40% chance at winning a 7 game series.

    I'm not sure what you're getting at. So Tom Penn got fired due to KP's decisions? I think you are going down the wrong track.

    Is there any talk of a replacement for TP? I read something about POR's interest for Rich Cho (OKC's moneyball guy).

    If not him, I nominate Storyteller.

    Rudy had a serious injury and is just now rounding into shape. Bayless I'd say has made considerable improvement in his ability to run the team. Webster is Webster. No amount of coaching can solve head issues. LMA, if you're fair, has had a tough assignment this year with the changing lineups and lack of a center for much of the season.

    Your statement regarding the chances of winning a WC or NBA title is a nice opinion. Like certain anatomy parts, everybody has one.

    Listening to Crapzano now, he had nothing.

    He's going through theories now.

    Well ok, my opinion at the start of the season was that with this core the blazers will win a title because everyone was so young and could progess so much.

    But no one has really done any progressing :(
