yeah, I gave up because the team gave up
it was a good year though
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Is it too early
to wish the Rockets luck against those scurvy dogs from L.A.?
and i'm also tired of the Mac/PC commercials
they were cute and funny at first, but now are just annoying. MAC still sucks.
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: I heart Portland!!!
Roy and LMA need help
or else we are doomed! Where the hell is Blake, Outlaw, Rudy and Oden? Maybe its time for T-Rex.
I want to scream!!! and punch something.
i need a heavy bag in the garage.
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: I heart Portland!!!
This series just exposed everything about the Blazers
I’m glad it worked out the way it did. Next year, changes are coming and the Blazers will be a better team.
Life is not by chance. Basketball is life.
Down 18
We can do it. GO BLAZERS.
Can’t ask more from Roy and LMA. Role players, step up or die by my FISTSTSTSTS.
Ok, I check out of the thread, I’m bad luck. Love you all.

I just saw that, it's gorgeous
Almost as gorgeous as my wifey!
GO BLAZERS. SCORE MORE THAN THE ROCKETTES.
they had a 21-8 run....why can't we have a 28-10 run???
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: I heart Portland!!!
eff that. we are better. Just not playing as the team we have been all season!!!

The Kings have the best bench I’ve seen. There are easily 14 guys on this team good enough for every bench in the league. Now if we could only get some starters, I’d totally jizz in my pants.

I can easily slot Roy third, though I AM biased.

Andre Miller is so appealing because he relentless attacks the basket
Kind of old though
Life is not by chance. Basketball is life.
Old, bad defender, no long range game
And we don’t need a guard who posts up. We got Roy, LMA, Oden, etc.
He’ got a good mid range and post up game. Underrated for his career. Bad fit for us.
Hinrich is nice for defense
But he doesn’t solve any of our problems on offense.
Life is not by chance. Basketball is life.
Well, he's a better version of Blake
Can create more, quicker, etc.
And we don’t need to fix our offense, we’re amazing offensively and as Oden develops we’ll get even better. We need better defense and, if we can, a better secondary playmaker.
The offense is really mirage...play a team that boxes out and good D
The Blazers become an isolation jumpshooting team.
Life is not by chance. Basketball is life.
I think we're only scratching the surface of our offense
And we’re flat out dominant most nights offensively. That ain’t the issue. Defense is what’ll win us 60+ games and get us further in the playoffs.
No other team has a Battier and Artest and a center the refs protect. This is a bad matchup for us, our offense is still pretty good.
Well said.
Though I have concerns about the offense, but that may be alleviated by a few more clutch shooters (a vet or two maybe)
I would love for a secondary playmaker
A better one than Blake, but that is easier to get than a better perimeter defender of guards.
If we weren't playing the Rockets
We woudn’t worry about our offense. Even if we played the Lakers, Cavs, etc. Horrible team for us to play in the 1st round. Our offense is still really good, just a bad matchup.
The time for grinding it in to the paint is over
we need to be using our 3 shooters and try for some quick scores. no reason not to play for what could win.

more than the lakers honestly. scola is a flopping scrub, artest is a thug, and yao is an oaf. they’ve gotten in the blazers’ heads though so i do commend them on that.

Joel Przybilla is one of the best low-post defenders in the NBA, so anyone who had suggested ...
trading him earlier this season was in need of a mental evaluation. That’s just my opinion, however.
I've never understood the folks who want Joel traded
He’s one of our pillars. It would have to be a HUGE deal for him to leave.
I never saw anyone asking to trade Joel....I wouldve been all over it!

since blake would be backup, right?

you know what? we got 6 more games than last year. This team will be better next year.
we went into the toughest matchup we could’ve gotten in the postseason, and fought against incredible odds. The rockets are a sneaky, dirty veteran team and we took them to game six. It’s like Byron Scott said the other day," there aren’t any shortcuts." I wish we could’ve done better in this series but this will make the blazers hungrier next year. This is not the end, it’s only the beginning.
We also got 6 more playoff games then the last 6 years.

If only Houston didn't choke their last game of the season
One game really matters.
We’d face a hobble Spurs team, feel happy, and avoid the Rockets altogether.
Oh well. Thems the playoffs.
But, it shows how easily we could be enjoying playoff success, except for one game.
Or if the Blazers would use their home court in the 1 game.
And Oden, once again, is a rookie, so non-stop fast break basketball is like fast-forwarding a song while he's trying to learn the lyrics.
If you keep beating up the trash teams...
…eventually you get beaten up by a strong team. Or win the title.
Winning a series wouldn't have helped us?
I wanna beat another team at their best, but I’d also like to win a series. If Houston wins the SW, we don’t play them and this 1st round wouldn’t be such a downer.
Just saying, one game can really make a difference in the perception of our team. If we played the Hornets, Spurs, etc, we’d be happy as clams.
A bad matchup is a bad matchup.
Yeah, it's totally fine
This season was always about education. It’s still frustrating since we coulda won game 3 or 4, but this was a big learning experience.
I just wish the lessons could continue for one more series.
DAMN MATCHUPS! :-)
yep
we got the worst matchup possible in the first round. i would rather have played any team other than the L*kers in round 1. We would easily have beaten NO, SA, or Utah. I think we take Denver or Dallas too.
Houston and us were evenly matched. Experience was the difference (game 1, game 4, game 6)
How did you guys win that?

Life has a way of making what seems like the worst possible scenario turning out for the best
Losing like this is a great learning experience. Now we know our guys will not be happy with themselves, at all.
I expect a great, great season next year from all of our guys, and especially Oden.
dude well said
Houston has no problems playing against Dallas or Denver. and i’d rather see u guys upset the Lakers.
i too would Cheer them when they came home!
I’m not disappointed in this team as a whole, just in this game.

Greg Oden needs to have a more featured role in the Portland Trail Blazers offense come next season.
Unfortuantely, though, the Trail Blazers are coached by an individual who’s always been adverse to having a pivotman be one of the main focal points on offense. Next season, Nate McMillan will be finishing off his five-year, $30 million contract that he signed during the summer of 2005. If things haven’t improved in 12 months, then I hope Kevin Pritchard has Jeff Van Gundy’s # programmed into his cell phone.
He's mentioned wanting us to go to Oden more
I’ll be shocked speachless if Oden isn’t a key part of our offense. Nate hasn’t had a pivot man like Oden, ever.
Aldridge isn't a focal point of the Blazers' offense?
The Blazers haven’t worked with Aldridge on his low post game the last two years?
And Jeff Van Gundy? Really?
LaMarcus Aldridge isn't a pivotman, okay.
Yes, Jeff Van Gundy is a better head coach than Nate McMillan.
Besides, if we tried to give Oden a more featured role
A) Our offense would be worse
B) Oden wasn’t able to stay on the floor at all this year
As a result, the coaching staff should spend more time developing his game on offense ...
this summer. Look, a ballclub doesn’t win a championship trophy with a defensively soft, high-post manning power forward — who, by the way, rely mainly on their face-up game offensively — as its second option. On the contrary, it takes an efficient back-to-the-basket scorer who can get the job done down on the low block. Without a shadow of a doubt, Greg Oden — instead of the overrated LaMarcus Aldridge — is the man for that job.
Regardless of how we view LaMarcus Aldridge, it's a given that Greg Oden needs ...
to be unleashed next season. While I may consider Aldridge to be the second-coming of Charles Smith, others may envision him as the perfect third wheel beside Oden and Brandon Roy. It’s to each their own, though.
LaMarcus performed pretty well in the postseason
you have to give him that.

Yao Ming: "Over time, [Oden] can even go beyond the Magic’s Howard."
Pelton: "Always love Hinrich’s D. Nobody on the Blazers (or most teams) gets into people like he does."
fair enough.
It's time for one last offseason, one last time to prune the roster. It was a great ride to 54 wins, and our playoff loss exposed the deficiencies we must address. In KP I trust.
draft dejuan blair
I agree. This team needs to be more post-centric come next year. If we're not going to go into the paint with the ball
then what is the point in having anyone besides pryz? Oden will not develop as a scorer until he is used regularly on the offense.

If the Trail Blazers don't improve upon this season next year, then Nate McMillan should get the ...
axe in the summer of 2010. Anything less than at least one playoff series victory during the 2009-2010 season will be a disappointment in my book. I have high standards, though, so maybe that’s just me.

No wonder.
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie

We learn a lot more from this series
than if we stomped NO or something then lost in the second
at least this way we know what we need to do.
yes for sure
the guys have realised the difference between the regular season and the playoffs, you cannot take possessions off in the playoffs, nor can you play at less than 110%
keep it clean guys
i thought they did well considering their age and their playoff experience, and hopefully with another off season of growth we can do better next year.
It's been a great ride this year boys.
we’ll get em next year. i’m out. so long.
