Before you slit your wrists, think of the Mighty Celtics

Yes, that was a horrible road trip.  The guys should have gone 0-3.  There's something seriously wrong with the team at the moment--probably multiple things.  But if you'll recall, the Mighty Celtics recently went thru a stretch when they couldn't beat a YMCA team.

Star-divide

The Blazers have talented players, and they have a good coach. All are capable of recognizing that things aren't working and making adjustments.  As hard as tonight's game was to watch (I wanted to scream at times), we Blazer fans need to have a little faith.  It's a long season, and even the top teams experience rough spots.  Whatever is broken at the present time will probably be fixed before long. 

So put away that razor blade; back off that ledge.  Focus on other interests for a little while.  This too shall pass.  The Blazer team we know and love--the one that whips teams like the Thunder--will be back soon.

This was the worst I have ever felt watching a Blazer game

This was worse than the opening day Laker game. We just got embarrassed.

Truthfully, I haven’t seen the 4th quarter yet – got off at 01:00AM.

I’m going to watch the 4th, then slit my faithful dogs wrist. I hope that doesn’t constitute a violation of this post.

I’m putting some numbers together for a post. As good as the Blazers record is, they have some ugly numbers also. I have some time off in 10-12 days and should have time to post then, stay tuned for the ghastly details. OK – maybe not that bad, but no one here will like them.

actually

I felt much worse after the Orlando game Turkey Gravy busted a 3 in our face with a half a millisecond left on the clock…

I was gonna write the same post but I was gonna title it "this too shall pass"

Please, for the love of all that is holy, please stop using the following: "Book it.", "FTW", "Epic" & "Fail".

...no seriously--stop.

Hey, I'm not saying I didn't have that razor blade ready myself

That game was a travesty. But I’m sure the Celtics fans felt the same when every one and their uncle was beating them—even some team from the NW woods playing without their all-star. But last I looked, the Celtics were back to bullying the rest of the league (except for the Lakers, that is).

Often, things have to truly fall apart before they can be repaired. If nothing else, the all-star break should provide the opportunity to fix what ails our Blazers.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
