I Like Watching These Blazers

[LameR]

You can say what you want about the team's recent losing streak, the questionable future, and whatever else negative you can think of, but I'm having a lot of fun watching this team. I'm hoping they can sustain this effort. I was at the game Thursday, and in person it's just so obvious how hard these guys are working, especially Matthews, Camby, and Miller. Hate if you want, but these guys (the team, not the previous three alone) are working their tails off and I'm loving it.

Yes I enjoy watching the Blazers that actually move the ball, push the tempo, and close out on defense. Seems far overdue, like years, but I do believe it is just a natural progression for this team and that top tier teams are not build overnight. So many Blazer fans think that if we had the best coach, GM, or even health that magically it would just come together all at once, but in reality, these things take time. It's been quite the roller coaster for the 21st century Blazer's to say the least but I've truly enjoyed the ride!

Once the Kobe era is over let the Portland Trail Blazer Dynasty begin! (I know you and I won't be satisfied with just 1 title)

Get well G.O.!

It will be an interesting year with lots of mystery of wins, losses and possibility of a player being traded.

It will be great to see if they can play like this agianst good teams. The Orlando win was great, but the Clips and Suns are terrible

All true. I'm also enjoying watching Mills running around.

Having had the fortune of attending the Orlando game - it was the most fun I had at a game since last year's OKC win near the playoffs.

Yup, this team is fun to watch, warts and all.

I was even enjoying them during the losing streak. We consistently played well for 2.5 quarters. Finally, against th Clippers, we refused to fold and haven't lost since. Good times. I might go to San Antonio tomorrow. Go Blazers!

The fun is over. Roy says he'll start playing over 35 minutes again. His time limit is why you were temporarily granted the privilege of watching other guards get time.

I see that a thread is already based on that article.

All I can ask of this team is that they work hard. They've been doing it as of late. During the losing streak, they were just showing up for much of the game. The Clippers game they kept fighting. They've been fighting since. Let's hope they continue to do so.

I know this is blasphemy, but we've had crisper offense and more easy buckets when Roy and LMA are not on the floor.

I volunteer to be the guy that kicks LMA in the junk the next time he takes a 19-21 foot jumper (open or not). I don't care if he doesn't rebound b/c he's running the break. I don't care if he gets his shot swatted multiple times when he goes inside. Just please, for the love of everything good, PLEASE don't take long 2-point jumpers. If you're going to pretend you're Channing Frye at least step behind the arc and make it worth it. Thanks.

And I'm ready to stop the experiment of Roy getting the ball at the end of quarters for isolations that now turn into long fadeaway jumpers. This isn't 2007, guys.
