Blazers @ Hornets Game Thread

[julius]

That's exactly what I'm seeing. Where's the fire? It's one thing to be tired, it's another to go through the motions.

that's what I'm seeing too. A lot of apathy, and intimidation.

Also, they seem to be giving up just because Brandon isn't performing to his usual standards.

Showing a little sign of life here before halftime..

 

[Darkwebs]

Roy is regularly getting rejected these days

 

[Natebishop3]

They need a new coach.

 

[MickZagger]

McMillan's idea of an offense is disgusting. This game has been pretty much Andre Miller going 1 on 5.

 

[alex42083]

We'd be doomed without Andre.

 

[VenomXL]

Man, how is New Orleans not up more? Feels like when the Blazers let teams hang around.

 

[Rhal]

I was only able to listen to the game for the first quarter and a half but it just sounds like we have no energy and our pretty much giving up. With Pauls shot at the end I dunno how we'll be able to come out with any energy.

 

[Rodolfo]

You guys do realize that we scored 60+ points in the first half last night. No panicking over one half.

 

[alex42083]

B-Roy's line looks ugly.... 0-6 FG, 0 pts, 1 reb, 1 ast, 15 mins.

 

[Darkwebs]

Is it too early to tank for a high lottery pick?

 

[Nikolokolus]

I don't mean to sound like a certain doom and gloom poster, but this has been the most boring season for me in about 5 years, even the 21 win year was more interesting as we had a lotto pick coming. Are we really that jaded this quickly?

In a word? Yes.

But I think what a lot of people are feeling is the sensation of a whole lot of air about to be let out of their balloon, but instead of a big *pop* we're maybe on the verge of a 3 or 4 year fizzle as we dwindle away to mediocrity instead of outright suckitude for the duration of Roy's injury plagued "twilight" years and LMA making more money than can be easily moved without sending away a promising player with him like Batum.

Shouldn't we just rest Roy? He isn't helping us anyway.

Who would we tank for? Last season would have been the time to tank. I'd love to have John Wall.

The team looks bad. It has been looking bad for quite some time now. Don't blame people for being a little negative.

 

[julius]

Maybe it's because Portland is looking like crap so much and I'm blinded by their suckitude, but I'm not that impressed with New Orleans.

Better than Portland? Yeah. Best in the league? Not on your life.

 

[santeesioux]

Hopefully Pryz can give them a shot in the arm

The last few weeks have been as much as most blazer fans can take. So much bad news in that little amount of time and some heartbreaking losses and left a few of my friends and myself with this feeling of shock. I'm sure i'll be able to muster a lot more feeling and get pumped up later in the season but at the moment I know me personally i'm spent with all the negative news and thoughts of the future that have come out recently.

I think it's going to take a big win to get the positive buzz back. Every game we've won have been games we were "supposed to win". We've lost two heartbreakers against OKC (already a sore spot for most) and got dismantled by the Lakers and Bulls.

I still love being a Blazers fan.

Not sure how steroids will help any.

This back-to-back surely hasn't helped his knee any. But if he feels he's good to go... then I don't think they'll go away from him.

I agree.... I'm going into self-defense mode. When the team starts playing this bad, I detach a little bit so I don't completely ruin my days.

 

[santeesioux]

Yeah, me too, but it's just felt like a pain in the ass to sit down and watch the few games that are shown on tv down here with all of the crap going on right now.

Idk, but just pump everyone full of them!

Just go have sex with your hot ass fiance, that's what we all do.








wait, it was you who TOTALLY upgraded on the girlfriend, right? Meaning, you are so helplessly out of your league that it should be illegal, right?

Of course.... shouldn't we all?

This thread needs a little humor

Look on the brightside guys, the championship window is still wide open

 

[Darkwebs]

We're only down 13. We can still win this one, if a Blazer has a career night.

 

[julius]

Well, our championship window is still a window, but it's stuck closed. And there is a big crack running through the glass. And it's ugly.

An ugly crack?
