Over reaction and misinformation

Ok, I'll jump on the "voice of dissent" grenade.

IMHO, however, they became a worse team (by not improving)

HUH? I guess the difference between rational fans and paranoid ones is the belief that the team can actually improve with Practice, and not just through moves. We are one of the youngest teams after-all, I doubt were gonna get worse anytime soon

The Blazers most definitely finished the regular season great playing much better than they did before the trade deadline - so I suspect that the team most certainly did not get any worse, at least in the short-term.

As for the long-term - it is a speculation at best, at this point - and one that will continue to rage for years to come as there is no way to know how well R-Jeff or Vince would have really worked with that team anyway.

I'd guess that he was responding to your screen name wrongly thinking it referred to University of Oregon. Some here have... strong feelings about the Ducks

Who are the Ducks?

If your rationality permits it, maybe you could explain it to this paranoid fan which team in the last 30 years has improved with practice enough to win a championship, and which ones "made moves" for a championship. Maybe you could explain to me how "we're the youngest team in the league", and yet our team's shortcomings are by-and-large from the inequality of play we get from our 6th-year vets.

Tell me, how much did Sergio get better from April 2007 to April 2009? Did he get better with age? How much did Telfair improve? Frye? Is it only guaranteed that players on our current roster get better with age?

I guess I'm paranoid and irrational b/c I don't agree with you. I prefer to think that my "irrationality" comes from observation, looking at the big picture and paying attention to what I see, not solely what someone else says. Perhaps you're different.
