Playoffs '09-future (I think we'll be O.K.)

by OCBlazerFan1 on May 16, 2008 1:29 PM PDT

I was thinking about the future of our team and the playoffs. I think we will do okay. We did much better vs. up and coming teams then we did vs. the decliners. Here is the data.

DECLINERS

SanAntonio: L 97-106, L 79-100, L 65-72. 0%

Houston: L 80-89, L 79-89, L 86-95. 0%

Dallas: L 80-90, W 91-82, L 76-96, W 108-105. 50%

Denver: L 93-110, W 116-105, W 99-96, L 103-105 (OT). 50%

Phoenix: L 92-97, 98-111, 91-100. 0%

We have had some problems with veteran playoff teams. Signs of a young team. We will be a year wiser next year.

Up-And-Coming Teams

Utah: W 97-89, W 99-91, L 101-111, W 103-89 . 75%

Hornets: L 93-113, W 93-90, W 88-76, L 81-96. 50%

L*kers: L 83-96, W 119-111, L 112-103, W 112-103. 50%

Golden State: W 105-95, W 109-91, L 104-110, L 95-111. 50%

We have not lost the regular season series (this year) to any of these up and comers (who we will be battling in the future.)

We are a young team, and some of these wins were in that amazing stretch, and I realize that the playoffs are a whole different story. However, we will be better next year (LMA & Roy will be in season three & a lot of guys have their "real" breakout season at year three). We will have Oden and Godzilla in the middle swatting layups like flies. And who knows how Rudy will pan out, or if we get an upgrade at the PG. The future looks good my friends. Real good!

Wow

I just realized this didn’t get a single comment. Maybe you should have asked a question at the end, because you didn’t write anything worth arguing over.

Yah

Nobody wants to talk about how good we already are. They only want to talk about how we need to change. That is why I love the OT comments and diaries. Our future is golden. There is no point in arguing about other team’s point guards in May everyday.

Myeah

I think if he would have simply asked, “What are your goals for the off season?” Everyone would give an answer about what they want the Blazers to do in the off season. I would answer something like, “Get to 100 posts and 7,000 comments by season’s opener.” Because I’m kind of a smart-donkey. I totally could have made this into one diary.
