This team is hard to watch

I found myself watching more Knick (Lin-sanity) than Blazer games this weekend. o0

Who knew that the Blazers needed a ballhog PG who turns the ball over at a high rate to make people watch?

Lin - 31.5 USG% so far this season. That's insane for a PG. Nash is usually around 23%.

5-0 without any other options to pass the rock to. I'm sure he'll share the ball more when Carmelo and Amare come back.

To get back to the point: it's always easier to watch other teams, because it doesn't matter if they lose. But Lin (and Rubio) are fun to watch, so why not have fun rather than heartache.

What I would like: if somebody could just take all of those comeback runs that the Blazers have one of each game and put them all together. It's the only thing that stops me giving up on this team altogether - the fact that, at certain points in just about every game, the team just LOCKS DOWN and goes on a run.

(Of course, by that point they're down by double-digits, so they have to. And they never hold on to the lead, if indeed they get it...)

So you watch a 13-15 team yet complain about a 15-13 team? I fail to see your logic.

That 13-15 team is missing it's two best players and is being led to 5 consecutive victories by the first chinese-american basketball player in the NBA. The 15-13 team lacks effort, (good) coaching, and (good) management. One of those teams is more exciting to watch right now. (Hint: It's the team with the Asian)

Please, that team with its two best players was 8-13. Further, this winning streak has come against the likes of Minnesota, Washington and New Jersey. This much hyped point guard is going to come back down to earth and soon - in fact his last game was a sign his run is already ending.

And if you want to talk about lacking good coaching and management, NY is your poster child.
