I stopped reading at Derek Fisher’s “We had every reason not to win this game.”

I hate that guy so hard. I’m struggling to figure out three reasons why they wouldn’t win that game. Uh, one, no Kobe, but that doesn’t really count because we don’t have Roy. Blazers home court advantage is a sure advantage. Then….nothing. Once again, I hate you Derek Fisher.

Homer L*ker ESPN writers are sickening.

Nate could refute the argumentation of this article by pointing to Juwan Howard: “That is my starting center. He is 6’10” if you’re generous. Did I mention he turns 37 tomorrow? P.S.: I also miss my lone All-Star."

I mean it is from the ESPN LA site so it was always going to be a disgustingly unbalanced analysis. I actually gained some respect for Pau from his comments after the game. The video is on the Blazers truehoop site (can’t remember the name) and he is asked how having no Kobe and Bynum for a half affected them and how did they pull through and Pau basically ran through all our injuries (Roy, Outlaw, Oden, Przy) as if to say, what do we have to complain about? It was unexpectedly reasonable….

The title alone is stupid. Who makes excuses for a win?

can’t expect total neutrality. Take it with a grain of salt, folks.

sites like those such as ESPN Boston, dallas, etc, will tend to have more bias

when the Lakers are crap and Kobe is no longer playing……

Every time the blazers loose you can garuntee they get a maximum of one highlight, the laker blazer highlight was entirely laker offense. frankly I’ve stopped needing ESPN to validate my faith in the blazers, i know brandon will never let kobe walk out of that building with a win
