We are four full games ahead of the Lakers

[KingSpeed]

What? You said something that ended up not actually being what happened?

No....say it ain't so!

We WERE four games ahead of the Lakers. None of what I said was untrue. I wasn't predicting the future. I was enjoying the present which was wonderful. When the Blazers have a better record than the Lakers, you have to enjoy it. And I did. Those were the days.

And that IS what they said on the radio.

OKC is now tied with SAS for 1st in the West. I hope OKC keeps 1st. I think they are a far worse matchup for the Lakers then SAS would be (although both teams should beat the Fakers).

Pops is semi-"tanking" because he likes the match up with the Rockets much, much more.

Works for me. That would be a great series as well.

MEM is up by 1 with 1:50 left against the Lakers.

Now down by 1 with :36 left.

ARG, the Lakers beat MEM by two.

Sigh. When was the last time a Blazers team actually remotely mattered? Must've been the '99-'00 team. Even the Roy teams never won in the first round. Even when we had Roy AND Oden healthy. And HCA. Sucks to be us. And it's not going to get much better soon. At best we'll be like the Hawks of recent years.

It's amazing how watching your team get embarrassingly blown out about 6 games in a row can depress your spirits.

(Fun fact: guess what the high scorer on that '99-'00 team averaged?)

 

[Rastapopoulos]

We basically have the ROY in Damian Lillard. He is one part of the foundation that'll make our team a perpetual success. All smiles for that!

I wish I had what you're drinking.

I wish I had what you're drinking.

So, can I ask you an honest question: are you going to focus on countering people who you feel are too high on Lillard? I'm just trying to suss out your current focus, so I don't fly off the handle.

Just today. I'm in a sucky mood because I actually HAVE been watching the games.

But here, to make up for it:

Not since Bob Whitsitt.
