    ..... Thought that this wouldnt be a season of beat downs for our Blazers ? We have a few pieces, but thats all we have, a few pieces. Dame,JJ,L.A.,M.L.Nic,Wes. Six true ballers out of fifteen wont get it done. You have to have role players who in fact know their role and embrace it. Our inconsistent players have become even more inconsistent. The easiest points you can get in an NBA game is a free-throw, and we have managed to miss a great many of them in every loss. Im know statistician, but id be willing to wager that if we went and counted our missed free throws per game, we'd have won three of the last four games and definitely been in the game against Brooklyn. I want to give a shout out to two guys.... JJ for being a beast. And the other JJ jared Jeffries for taking a charge in every game he's played in for us thus far. Sometimes more than one. Nevertheless, the season is young, we still have time to look damned respectable before seasons end. Even the trade deadline approaching doesnt provide anything moves of significance without depleting our cap space. The best we can hope for is that this demoralizing season brings this team together. Of course thats going to take acquiring a few cats who go for the jugular every night, and a tremendous amount of testicular fortitude. But no matter what happens, im in it for the long haul. Blazer for life. Go Rip City !!!!!!!

    I was hoping we have a solid season this year and possibly sneak in the playoffs but, at the same time I knew it had to be a special season for that to happen, I with you and BDawg about Hickson this guy goes out there and leave it on the court every night and as much as we want the team to play like he does it won't happen because he's not the leader like I said this before your gonna go as far as you best player and if LA played with the heart that Hickson had it would send a message to the rest of the team that this is the standard of how we play every night we need to start building our foundation on hard work and effort instead of talent because talent may win you games but, hard work and effort keeps you in the game and I don't care where we finish all I care about is that this team leaves it on the court.

     

    We have to remember not to get too high on the highs and too low on the lows Go Blazers.

    I am a fan of Respect, Loyalty, Honor & Pride the same thing the Blazer & their true fans are made of RIP CITY STAND UP!

    If LA was healthy which I think he is, and played with the same energy and heart with Hickson we would be at the top of the League.

    Yeah I was one of them *blushes*. I was never a diehard fan of basketball until the 2011-2012 postseason. I could name every team, but I always forgot two. Kings and Blazers.

    Yeah, he was tripping with that Scottie Pippen reference. Nowhere as good as him, BUUUTTT, I think he can be, if he plays like a man. In Euroleague, you are taught more about finesse, and the fundamentals. He needs to put a little more muscle on, ...

    I think what Stotts is doing is superb. His plays are great. I remember the only play he ever called for Meyers Leonard, against the Bobcats. Great movement, got LMA a good mid range look, got Batum a decent three look and the got Meyers way down ...
