And your posts aren’t?

not everyone can recognize trolling, sarcasm, irony etc

 

[James lamphear]

There a lot wrong with this team but I don't think they have bought into Billups system and now watching them I know they haven't bought into it. Yes we are some key players but this been going south before now.

This might be the most depressing era of Blazer basketball I can remember. It's like we're in this weird basketball purgatory that there is no clear way out of. At least in 2005 we knew we were going to suck.

Happy New Year!

Stick a fork in them they’re done!

It was done in the first 6 mins of the first qtr

 

[riverman]

When you can't make shots, brick freethrows, can't rebound and can't stop anybody....it's pretty hard to win...

Not sure how this is different from 2005. We do suck.

 

[Tince]

Bron getting some meaningless minutes to get 40, maybe 50 on us.

In 2005 we didn't have an all-NBA, top 75 player in NBA history player in his prime on the team. We had Telfair.

Dame not playing like he’s in his prime. Dame has taken us as far as he can, farther than Roy, and it was fun but it’s over.

3-0-6 Big night for Snell.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Big comeback coming. Gonna ruin L*kers NYE.

Or not.

 

[julius]

so any picks in the draft actually someone who can make a difference eventually? Or is tanking it not worth it this year?

I'm glad you're finally facing reality Eric.

 

[riverman]

Dennis Smith Jr is a real pt guard...he's got 6 assists in short time...guy plays hard

 

[illmatic99]

game nights this season leave me so depressed

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

They gotta keep Reggie Perry. Seems like he has a good feel for the game, big and physical.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Anyone notice Little has been trash the last two games? We need to trade that guy. He is not the future.

 

[illmatic99]

why am i still watching this...

Please find me a stretch where someone on that 2005 team put up numbers like Dame has this month:

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Robert Williams 3 had a triple double tonight with 2 steals and 5 blocks to go with it.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

GB lll breaks rim with brick.

Do numbers in losses matter? Who cares? Darius Miles had a 47 point game. Who cares?

 

[illmatic99]

just realized lebron got his season high.

yet another game where we give up a season high. i was asking a few days back. anyone know if someone is tracking this? we give up more season highs than any other team, and we don't discriminate. it can be. frank kaminsky or lebron james.

His 27/10 half was the first of his career!

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Well. At least their consistently bad.

Yes... Numbers over a season do matter in comparing the talent difference. Picking out one game, as you just did with Miles, probably not.

If you think this team is no more talented than the 04-05 team and Telfair and Dame are interchangeable, then so be it.

It doesn’t matter. This has been the worst season of Dame’s career.

Changing the subject, DeRozen may win MVP this year. Who saw THAT coming?

REGGIE!
