A tendency? It's a damn near guarantee. If our starters could just play all 24 minutes I'd be fine, but sadly our bench has to come in at some point.

A great day for a walk in the park. . .

Does anybody care about rebounding? What does Mo Lucas do, anyway?

Oh, and I think I know the problem. The game chat is down!

I guess when guys like Nate, Quick and Pritchard said this would be season filled with "ups and downs", they weren't kidding. This definitely counts as one of the "downs".

Oh well, I'll still be proud of this team even if they just finish with a .500 record.

Frye with a floater

Oh my God. We just let them walk in there.

Yeah I agree with Spykes. Even if the Blazers play like crap the rest of the season, they are better than they were supposed to be. It's been a fun run to watch regardless of how it ends up.

^^^Damn that. If we were gonna suck then we should have just sucked and got another good pick. We all know this team can play well enough to win, now they just need to play like it. Theyre not really getting beaten, theyre beating themselves...

A little hope with Frye's jump shot to end the third period. Let's give it a shot

Yadadimean · Post #53 » by **Yadadimean** » Mon Jan 28, 2008 12:47 am

yea its looking a little better right now...its been a long time (going back 3 games now) since shots have been falling. Lets hope they pull it together

Lol. Jones is probably gonna get a suspension for this one...

J~Rush · Post #55 » by **J~Rush** » Mon Jan 28, 2008 12:49 am

no idea what Jones was thinking

Is frye hurting us more on defense or helping us more on offense?

Yadadimean · Post #57 » by **Yadadimean** » Mon Jan 28, 2008 12:52 am

^^^Its a wash statistically...but maybe seeing the ball actually go in a few times is what they need to see to get them thinking the right way

We've already shown we don't suck. But we have to expect some inconsistency as part of having a young team. Seeing some tastes of winning is a good sign, even if we have stretches of bad games. Lottery pick after lottery pick isn't gonna do a damn thing. Ask the Clippers.

Joe Johnson is a special player...
