    the pressure is really building on the Blazers, it will be very interesting and defining as to how they respond, could be hugely positive or negative

    These are the situations that can build character and bond a team facing adversity. I think we'll be fine even if we drop to the 7-8th seed.

    yep, big time risk/reward here, turn it around and play well could have some mo into playoffs, play awful and miss playoffs IMO is a disaster

    Wasn't it just a few weeks ago Baron Davis was looking for a job in the league? He might be trying to help his cause with a dose of double standard dissing his competition for pt guard contracts

    Character\Smaracter, The thing is having the Jail Blazers might have been embarrassing at times but lets admit they where damn good. My point is having good character does not making a winning team. I've said it before and I'm sticking to it, Chemistry might get you more wins in the season but talent will win in the playoffs. Lets not also forget that BDiddy led the Worriers (8th seed) past the Mavs (1st seed) back in 2007.

    Good thing we have such expert analysis available too us. Thanks to Baron I've learned that:

    (a) LaMarcus being hurt is bad for our success

    (b) We are not playing well

    (c) We are falling in the standings.

    This is why I tune into TNT - I'd have never picked up on any of that on my own - nor be able to express it in such a poorly worded way.

    Maybe Allen Iverson still wants to come back?

    the "jail blazers" teams were never "damn good".

    Unless you count 1st round and out 3 straight years "damn good".

    Avery Johnson should never be allowed to talk into a microphone period!

    They went to the WCF and should have beat the Lakers. Even Tim Donaghy says the Blazers lost because the refs saved the Lakers.

    Iverson is missing his true calling these days...has there ever been a retired player who was just born to be a Globetrotter!

    They were fun to watch. Great 12 game win streak in 2002, I believe. Great turnaround after a 13-18 start in another season. And of course 2003 was the closest this team has been to winning a first round series since 2000.
