Good win or bad win?

[MARIS61]

I say all wins are good because they count toward the playoffs, but I wish CP3 hadn't gone down even though it's obvious we would have been blown out if he hadn't.

Had we been blown out as deserved, the players would have worked harder on what we did wrong.

Now they feel they "came back" which is absurd. They beat a bunch of scrubs for a quarter is all.

Nate must be livid.

Phil Jackson looks like my really really old Great Uncle Bill. And he's dead.

Huge win. Pure and simple.

 

[Chuck Taylor]

I think it was a bad win. I was hoping the team would have given up once they were down by 20 and especially when Chris Paul went down. How are we ever going to get better when we keep making 4th quarter comebacks like this?!?

 

[craigehlo]

It's a bad win, but I'll take it of course.

Let's not forget the bad defense, turnovers and poor shot selection of the first 3 quarters. That's still an area of concern.

The Hornets w/o CP3 are pretty much the Clippers.

 

[RoyToy]

I'm going to say good, since I think it could give the Blazers a huge momentum boost, especially on this road trip. Wins like those feel good.

Wait - didn't they have the same number of All-Stars as we did on the court int he 4th quarter?

 

[tlongII]

Huge comeback. On the road. Against the team we're fighting currently for the 4th seed. Just a MONUMENTAL WIN!

Injuries are a part of the game.

we killed them on the boards so they obviously missed chandler a lot also.

 

[RoyToy]

Hornets beat the Blazers w/o Roy, Blazers beat the Hornets w/o Paul.

It's all even!

 

[Sug]

Maris pulling a Mixum...WOW

 

[RoyToy]

Maris can't handle the fact that Bayless was the driving force behind this win.

 

[free_lafrentz]

A win is a win. Injuries happen. Good win, but gotta clean up the silly stuff from the first 3 quarters.

 

[oldguy]

Any win is a good win.

 

[B-Roy]

Mixum on vacation so you felt the need to take up his duties?

A great win made better by my winning $20

 

[mgb]

The 5th win in a row is a great win!

I bet whoever you won the bet from is whining big time about Paul being injured!

I'll find out tomorrow. But, I will collect, or perhaps do a double or nothing bet.

 

[jwhoops11]

Spotting even the worst team in the league a 20 point lead with 15 minutes left in a game should be certain defeat in the NBA. Paul or no Paul, this was a huge win anyway you cut it. And refering to Maris's original post their was a definite skill learned tonight by the young Blazers. The most aggresive team will generally win the game. Portland set back for 3 quarters before they decided to go balls out. When they finally did, momentum switched and the Hornets were helpless to stop it.

Big big win, and hopefully a lesson learned.

 

[Natebishop3]

Yeah, Paul is the ONLY reason why the Hornets are a good team.

 

[Shooter]

Now they feel they "came back" which is absurd. They beat a bunch of scrubs for a quarter is all.

The other 4 starting players for New Orleans are "scrubs"? You must be kidding.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Hell, all the Hornets had to do was play solid defense and this one was in the bag for them even without Paul. Instead Bayless ripped their hearts out their chests and ate it in front of them. This was in fact neither a good win nor a bad win, it was simply a win.

And he had a menacing scowl on his face the entire time... That dude went over to the dark side and I love it

 

[TehChad]

Any victory is better than any defeat. There's no such thing as a "bad" win..

 

[PapaG]

Wow. Did you kick your dog when you made that post?

More like Bayless showed why he is in the team's future while Sergio's weaknesses were magnified by Chris Paul. Would Paul have set an NBA assist record if Sergio had guarded him all night?

Except the Clippers don't have any All-Stars, and the Hornets still had a two-time All-Star on the court.

So, not really.
