Sorry, PBF, but the season is still mighty young, and I am holding back some emotional bankroll for this young team's eventual fall back to earth. The playoffs is a good enough goal for me at this point.

Re: Pssst...
Falling back to earth doesn't mean we're a 30-win team (or worse), though. I mean, we're 18-12 -- last year, we didn't get our 18th win until Jan. 24.
When PBF says the nightmare is over, I think that means the worst is behind us, at the very least. And I would definitely echo that sentiment.

If we win 40% of our remaining games, we finish with 39 wins - hardly a
nightmare especially with Oden/Fernandez/pick coming next year.
If we win 50% of our remaining games, we're back into the playoffs.

Re: Pssst...
We have had some horrendous finishes to seasons the last few years, hopefully this year is different.

Re: Pssst...
In a 82 game season players start slowing down in the second half of the season, but with the Blazers balanced rotation I don't see our team tiring out. Then we win lots of games.

Yes the pain is over! We are back, I agree.

Exactly. In years past, we played 10 men because we had no idea what would work. This year, we're playing 10 men because we know *exactly* what we're doing. Nate's no longer desperate; he has pieces. Now he can be like a chef: a little Frye here, a little Sergio there, a little Jack near the end, a pinch of James Jones... and McRoberts to garnish!

I don't play well with others.
