Meanwhile, Mavs are up 5 against OKC. If they win, we are only two games from missing the playoffs.

If we could just win a couple games, I think we'd be fine. They just need some confidence, kinda like when hitting free throws can give you confidence from the field. If we lose the next two, I don't think we'll make the playoffs. That's just the way it looks schedule wise, and tiebreaker wise, and the way the other teams are playing. We're not going to go on a magical win streak. As far LMA goes, it will take him time we don't have to regain his rhythm.

I think we take LAL, PHX, Sacremento, and New Orleans. Or, I should put it this way, we have to. lol. Cause those are our only winnable games left on the schedule (Utah on the road, seeing what happened tonight, doesn't feel that good even.)

Here's hoping we do something like 8-3. But yikes.... they need to pick it up, and fast.

Sounds about right. YIKESS DIRK ALMOST HIT A HUGE SHOT. Anyway, yes we need to pick it up. 8-3 isn't possible though. There are only 10 games left.
 
I wonder if olshey will pursue a trade more aggressively if this team misses the playoffs. It would be two straight seasons where they collapsed late. I'd like to see Portland get out of Batum's contract.

Well, shit. I counted it 4 times to make sure. Fail. Fine, 7-3. :P.

You never attacked me specifically. You made a general statement putting down people for "melting down." I stood up for the forum. And some people agreed with me.

You stood up for the forum? Wow! How brave! Congratulations on having some people agree with you.

My point about some people melting down on this forum still stands.
 
KingSpeed said:
There's the attack. Quite vicious and uncalled for actually. Especially when people are already down.

Wow, my previous post was positively nefarious.

People can be down without melting down. Try it sometime.
 
Ok well, i accept that team lose too many close games, but this what we see in last couple of weeks is not basketball. This team lost all ability play to basketball basics.. whats going wrong with this team. are they hopening for 8th seed and then kicked the spurs in the first round or what ? are you be kidding me.. you can be lose a game but not of this style.. holy shit Charlotte give us the hardest loss this season by 30 POINTS 30 POINTS Man.. with orlando one of the worst teams season outscored you by 10, Nearly lost to the Milwaukee bucks.. you have the luck on your side in this game on the last 20 seconds or what. so this is sick. especially after the brooklyn game what we win by 30-40 points i think this time is back on the boards but then comes the freefall , this so crazy. ok im 2 years blazers fan but im a real fan of this franchise.. i watched last year 70 games this year i missed 2 or 3 game maybe.. so no one can says im a bandwagon fan while the is on fire with amazin 75% winning precentage.. but this is so heartbreaking as you a blazers fan. i cant believe it, what there are going on..
 
No they shouldn't.
Just wait as the number of home game tickets available will increase. More red seats will show up on TV as the fans won't be interested on going to the games.
What a pathetic end to a great potentially looking season.

speaking of the beginning of the year, and forgive me if you've already discussed this (as I haven't been as frequent a visitor here recently), but how are things with the cancer/brain?
 
The team has a similar feel to it, that the 2000-2001 team did. Started off awesome, but once Detlef and Rod were brought in, the bottom fell out.

Went from, iirc, top 3 team to being the 7th seed and thankfully swept by the Lakers. History might be repeating itself here.

I don't think it's confidence. I personally think it's a 'decision' they've made.

I agree they are resting LA and winning just enough to stay in the playoffs but this team clearly is aiming for a lower seed.

I hope they get the Spurs and get sent home in 5 it will serve them right.
 
Should they make the playoffs? Yes, they should. DUH. They are the 5th seed with only 10 games remaining.

Well, if we had traded for Andre Miller some fans probably would have blamed it on that. But that season is the only one I know of that could rival the slide the Blazers have been on. To be completing for the #1 spot the first half of the year to almost sliding out of the playoffs.

They're not aiming for a lower seed. Maybe if they had already clinched a playoff spot I could see this, but in this situation you would be flirting with disaster. LA said he wanted to play yesterday but couldn't run. Unless you don't believe him, it's obvious he had to sit. Plus, who would have guessed Orlando actually wanted to win that game? They didn't look like a team with 9 straight losses last night.
 
If we miss the playoffs after a 24-5 start, we need to seriously evaluate the way this roster is built. Could call for some big changes like trading LA/Nic/Wes.
