It's simply because of the fans.
We just won against the two worst team in the league (Philadelphia, Phoenix) and fans are already overreacting calling out people on Dame like he brought us to the finals, calling him "the best Blazer ever" like Bill Walton or Clyde Drexler never existed. And that's only because sorry fans are sensitive to players who don't wanna come to Portland, so if one of them decide to sign with us (with a MASSIVE extension in terms of $$$$$) you people overreact as always trying to overhype that player only because he loves the city or the community.
Let's get this straight: as much as Lillard loves Portland that won't affect our chances to win a title.
And let's be more clear: Lillard take advantage of the love Portland fans give him. He is treated like LeBron James in Cleveland without isn't nearly as talented as he is.
Here in Portland he can do all he wants rapping and promoting shoes because he knows that with the help of Jason Quick and others writers payed by Olshey he can be exposed on defense by every other PG in the league and people will only remember the times he score 30 or 40 or he gives a speech with Quick ready with the smartphone to record it.
Olshey is so smart that knows all this BS and he takes advantage by selling smoke to fans who decide to believe him only because they have no chance: THE BLAZERS ARE THE ONLY SHOW IN TOWN AND SO THE FANS CONVINCE THEMSELVES THAT IS ALL GOOD, THEY CAN'T ACCEPT THE FACT THAT WE AREN'T NEARLY AS GOOD AS THE OTHER CONTENDERS.

It makes me crazy that fans are so naive that they buy all the BS that writers like Casey Holdhal sells them.
I mean, let's take by example the "Nurkic fever", only because of 5 games the fans are already calling him the next Sabonis and they are absolving Olshey after having one of the WORST OFFSEASONS EVER.

How fans can be so naive!?!? how!!?!? Don't you people realize that the management is trying to sell you the "big three" of Dame/CJ/Nurkic only because we are in the period of renewal tickets for next season?

Let's be more clear: the trade was a good move, but that trade won't change our future, rather it makes basketball purgatory a more likely reality. Nurkic is like Dame and CJ, they're good, but non THAT good that puts you in title contention.

I could go on and on but it's now clear to me that this franchise as much as i love her won't win again.
We will make the playoffs with the 8th seed, maybe we'll win 1/2 games against GS/SA and Olshey in the exit interviews will use this games to trying defend his job and say that our future is bright with 3 draft picks (none of them will be in the lottery).

People will believe him and the mediocrity will continue for at least 4 more years, as long as Lillard will stay. That's what Portland fans want: playoffs with Dame Dolla super hero without having a 1% chance of winning a title.

I'll be the only trying to imagine how good the Moda Center and how happy the fans would be with a real contending team with real superstars.
For players like Anthony Davis Portland could build a statue outside of the Moda Center.
Too bad we won't see any of them here because tanking would destroy the only attraction in town and fans are too hasty to wait 2 or 3 seasons of transition.
In the meantime we will see teams with potential superstars like Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Davis, Devin Booker, Joel Embiid, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic succeed in the near future.

PURE BS
 
Bump...

First two real tests of the season and we are getting blown out as usual but people were already overreacting when they saw that we were 1st in the standings after few games against scrappy teams mostly at home...

There's fucking no hope for this franchise, I still can't believe everybody has their seat after last year's playoffs, only in Portland...
 
To the OP. It has more to do with Portland not being able to sign a top FA. Championships are won by teams that have a top 1-4 player on their roster. We can't get that, other than the draft but we always seemed to get Oden'd.

What? We already played Milwaukee. You wanna talk about overreacting? Its saying some whiny crap like this.. How Portland has an above-.500 record against teams over .500 but have lost their only two "tests" of the season (one of which is a team they already beat) is dumb. You're never here when the team does bad, and only here to whine and complain when they do bad. What's even the point for you? Why even pay attention with that mindset?
