Lillard looks ordinary. Aldridge can't hit the side of a barn. Batum isn't anywhere near a triple double anymore. We're making bad passes and bad decisions. We can't win a close game. Can't close teams out. Can't get a break.

Man, oh, man. Where did our magical season go?
 
The Thunder is playing the best basketball in the NBA. We're the only team that has beat them twice this year.

Yes, we beat them twice when we were playing well, but that's a long time ago.

We're 2-0 against them With Swag. But 0-2 Without Swag. Of course, not beating them is why we lack swag... but anyway.
 
Early season success was fool's gold. We shot lights out from distance, which covers a lot of warts in your game. Now the FG% has come back to earth, this team looks like they may be lucky to win more than one game in the 1st round.
 
To be fair, the stretch of games we've played in the past month have been pretty brutal. Now we must pray to the basketball Gods that we get a good matchup in the playoffs.
 
The good news this year is suppose to have a strong draft.

I am sure we are the only team that has already had 4 shots at them though.

Basically right, but not entirely true. The following teams cannot get 2 wins against OKC:

San Antonio (currently 0-3)
Minnesota (1-3)

OKC has two wins already against: Denver, Golden State, Houston, Memphis, Sacramento, Utah.

If we can't beat OKC at home, on three days rest, when they're missing Westbrook, it's pretty pathetic. This is the kind of game we were winning earlier in the season.

OKC IS BETTER WITHOUT WESTBROOK. EVERYBODY EXCEPT RUSSELL AND HIS MOM KNOW THIS.
 
One rebound away from beating Indiana and a bucket away from being 3-1 against OKC. Lets not start drinking the kool-aid just yet. I'd like for us to add a person before the deadline that can create high percentage shots. Being a jump shooting team does have drawbacks, but we'll win some too.

We're all (me included) clawing at each other to be first in the "I knew we'd fail all along" line. Such is the life of a Blazers fan. It's not how much you enjoyed the season but when you finally gave up and curled into the fetal position because they broke your heart again.

Then lets trade LA to OKC for Westbrook. I'd take him any day over LA the loser.

then when he's injured for half a season again, I can yell that PORTLAND IS BETTER WITHOUT WESTBROOK!
 
Shooter said:
Yeah, I'm sure the OKC coaches and fans are going to be really sorry to get him back healthy again.

He's better than Fisher, that's for sure. I wonder how slowly they'll bring him along until he's 100%.

And who gives a fuck about OKC fans? They're as sharp as a sack of wet mice.
 
We were two bounces of the ball away from beating OKC and Indiana...this forum would have a totally different feel if that would have happened....gotta stay level-headed

And would have won with a healthy LMA. Clearly he was not 100% - and yet we walk off if he just hits that last shot. Breathe.

The forum is made up of a bunch of individuals. While some of us (like me) are nuts and hold conflicting opinions at the same time, most of the bi-polar feel is that some posters only post after a loss, and some only post after a win. The wild swings are mostly just people who have one opinion the whole time feeling the urge to yell louder.
