With the upcoming schedule looming and no Roy, its appears things are about to hit rock bottom. Really sad after the wins this team pulled out. Funny thing is we are playing worse healthy but i digress.
I just have to wonder if this team takes the Bulls path a few years ago where they so talented and young... everyone loved them and they were almost blown up if not for getting rose in the lotto. When you look at these blazers, you have to be honest in saying we have 1 star player who is a little shaky when it comes to his health. Roy isnt an iron man by any means. We all see what happens when hes out. LA looks like a 3rd option at best. Right now I think i would rather have Millsap 100 times. Too bad the Jazz matched. Then there's Oden who if you get 52 games from a season... you are stoked. Last our big prize free agent is getting old and schooled by quick guards...not to mention cant hit a jumper to save his life.
I dont know... I mean everyone seems to think playoffs and contending are a lock every year but this will be a big step back. A very sobering step back for the fans, franchise, and players. Who is to really say next year will be different? The Grizz are getting better, the thunder are looking scary, the kings have great young talent, and the rockets get yao back next year. The only team fading is the suns. Maybe the spurs at some point but not next year. I dont know but before everyone wants to talk playoffs the next 5 years... maybe a wake up call might be in order. Missing them this year which almost seems certain with the upcoming schedule and these awful home losses will be hard to swallow wether you wanna blame injuries or just bad play down the stretch from our big players. Also our front office wont make trades just ignoring our center woes. Its so sad on so many levels this team is imploding when we are getting healthy.
