Losing is not an OPTION...

But You cannot avoid that in every game...

Look guys I LOVE Blazers as im one of the followers of this team (though im avid fan of Boston, and Spurs too).

There's a lot of things needed to become a championship caliber team. Blazers are already have some of it. But ill put some important points on how and why Blazers is not yet (But i hope that it will be Blazer and Celtics on Finals as i hate FAKERS).

1. CHampionship Caliber Team must have Toughnes (Physical game & mental Game)
2. Dont show Your Frustration, just continue playing
3. Look at all past Champions, what type of player they have:
Detroit - Original Badboys (isiah,Mahorn,Long,Rodman,Laimbeer) Tough-Dirty
Spurs - Bowen & Horry (tough & dirty
LA LAKERS (Shaq-Horry-Fox-A.C. Green)
Boston - KG-Perkins-Powe-Paul
Chicago- Rodman and more

I dont say you need to be dirty just to win a Championship, but if you will watch the games from 1980's and early 90's you will see how tough basketball it was. You see how Larry Bird got wacked from the air by Detroit Badboys and no Technical just a plain Foul. It extend up to Chicago, that MJ survive from NY Knicks, Detroit toughness and also Charles Barkley with Phoenix.

Last night what i've seen was completely frustration from Blazers Face Mostly with Brandon (he shouldnt show that, he should lead the team even they are in Bad situation). Blazers are still young, and yesterday all the weakneses has exposed.
Im not dishin Fernandez for 1 or 3 games, but if your shot aint fallin then try to do on other way including DEFENSE. Ray Allen never got a good hands but they shift to other things rather than to be upset. What we've seen last night we could just say that ROOKIE MISTAKES, and Blazers can Fix that on the next games. I Love to see Portland vs Boston in the Finals as they deserve each other on Win than Lakers, but for the Blazers to do that, they need to start playing as ONE, Tough and SOLID. Coaching And Staff should encourage thier Young players than sitting on the Bench like they lose already (beginning of 4th quarter). Even when they got some Run on Late, I never see any encouragement from the Players and Coach and STAff..

Go Blazers, as Boston Go!!! I wish you reach Finals and Face us..

You're missing one huge thing that is needed for a championship

Experience!

I’m not going to look it up, but every guy you listed above had more experience when they won a championship, than just about every guy on the Blazer’s roster. Roy and Aldridge have 2.25 years experience in the NBA, the starting center has one year of college and 0.25 years experience in the NBA. How many years experience did Garnett, Pierce, and Allen have before they won a championship?

Thanks for giving that up..

Most important that i forgot (my bad).
Young team is fun to watch, as they are explosive most of the time on the court.
Even Lakers having some difficult times because of young roster[s].

Veteran’s are those mentally tough on the games, that young players needed to be on thier side. Anyway that is good that in this early period on the season it happened, Blazers have lot of time to decide to acquire some veterans. Blazers are going great, last night downfall is just normal in NBA and other Sports (expect the unexpected).

Have Fun and more winning to come!!
