Agreed. I'm not sure why Samuel had to be aggressive about it; I was just countering that 5-2 was as likely as 2-5, and neither occured anyway.

I didn't mean to be aggressive about it, BlazerCaravan. Take a look at the numbers.

Even with Zach Randolph playing out of his mind, Portland is having difficulty scoring points for 48 minutes. They're one of the lowest rebounding teams in the league and are 29th in assists.

I understand that 'you win some, you lose some', and Portland was indeed in the Dallas game. But they came back from being down 27 points in that NOK game. If Portland plays that game 100 times, I bet that at least 80% of the time Portland loses. Same with the Minnesota game. It's not a 50/50 break like you're making it out to be.

Am I saying that Portland isn't a good team, isn't getting better, isn't impressing the hell out of me? No.

But Portland has had a lot break their way to get to 4-3. I'm hearing the word 'playoffs' mentioned these days, and it'd be unfair to hope for that.

well, we are for real. but the next few games wont show it.


we have mad players out w/ injuries...so its not a representation of what this team really is. but if we pull of a few wins it will REALLY show we got some scrap.

It may be more of a test for the fans than for the players!

double post. sorry

I feel the same. i think we have been playing over our head and that has caused some fans to raise the expectation for this team, possibly unfairly. i absolutely love the way the team is playing, and the play of zach, jack, outlaw, and roy has given me a lot of hope for the future. Aldridge is also a guy i have high hope for. i won't be disappointed if we start to lose a lot of games, as long as our young guys stay healthy and continue to progress.
