Positive notes
1.- Blazers won´t play against the Warrios in these playoffs, and probably will not even play against them again until
2012/2013. Woohoooo!
2º.- Blazers played badly in a togetherly way. Nobody betrayed his teammates by playing good basketball.
3º.- Rollercoasting has its ups and downs. Should be up anyone of the next 8 ones.
4º.- Nate and his players are keeping things under control. Things as expectations.
5º.- Thanks to games like this one Dave won´t lose practice in his psychotherapeutic skills.
6º.- It´s great to see Blazers fans defending their players in bad times. It couldn´t
happen if they wouldn´t have lost games.
7º.- According to Ben´s report, the "Blazers had the largest" something in this game. I don´t
mind whatever it was. Go for all or for nothing.
8º.- Ben made a chart. Charts are great, aren´t they?
9º.- Did Brandon´s song selection "On My Level" set the tone? It would mean his
leadership is still there. You have to like that.
10º.- Nate didn´t execute .... his players! I still don´t know whether it is good or bad, so I will
optimistically consider it good.
12º.- As long as the Blazers keep losing games we can credit ourselves for being better
coaches than Nate. I have never lost a game, you know.
13º.- Nobody rained on the Blazers parade but themselves. That´s protecting your home
court.
Go ahead!

It´s on the road, so I had discounted it. That´s always a lost game since the first time a caveman draw a warrior chasing a deer.
beat them there last year

Good to see you still have a true positive note to add.

The blazers did a bang up job of playing rope-a-dope. They don’t want to show their upcoming playoff opponents anything.
i like it here, there, everywhere.
Yeah, what they did was enoug to confuse anyone.
The plan was so well excecuted that at the end they were confused too, which should be considered the icing on the top of the cake.
16) There was some fear that this team was "peaking" too early.
Either that was ridiculously true, or it wasn’t.

17) This may allow us to be more well-rested going into the playoffs
18) Babbitt and Armon looked solid in 3 minutes of play

If Babbit were a PG Khan would have drafted him before we could get him.

20) This was a great game for fans annoyed by the 3-goggles.
by SaveOden on Apr 6, 2011 11:44 AM PDT reply actions 2 recs
I've noticed a high correlation between the number of times the team does the three goggles and the number of three pointers made.
The correlation is so high as to be impossible to ignore. So clearly those fans that are annoyed by the 3-goggles are not stat-savvy.

On a night like last night
they should consider zero goggles.

if you miss three 3's in a row.
you literally have to put on buck william’s old goggles until you make another one.
21) loss prevented us from gaining ground on the nuggets
as to assure of us of a series against the mavs

22) the Blazers will be more well rested next season if they play SA or the Lakers
23) I will make more $ selling my playoff tickets for games against the Lakers
If I can't attend a game due to my work schedule..which is already set..
I may sell my tickets for what I pay. Especially if it’s to a Blazer fan!
unrec for 22 also!
Maintain the faith Blazer fans! If Golden State can win an 1 vs. 8 matchup with a 60 win Dallas team then we can oust the Spurs dammit!!! The night is darkest before the dawn! It ain’t over till it’s over! So on and so forth!

Also rec!!! Your post was well done and refreshing! It is a game and it is best to
look at the bright side of things!
Or as my brother said last night…we got the wristbands for the buffet…“at least the food was good” and it was….very very good!!!
24) great player chemistry!
all players apparently attended the dinner Camby hosted for the NCAA final game!
26) If our team defense kryptonite is
point guards taking 35-foot 3s 2 seconds into the shot clock,* we can rest assured that very few playoff teams will ever do that.
- for the sake of 26) I will assume that this constitutes our only defensive weakness, and I think we can all agree that this is demonstrably true.

Nate didn´t execute …. his players

27) We've eaten a few too many Chalupas this year anyway
We should really be dropping a few pounds before the playoffs. Except for Patty Mills, he needs to keep the gut for 3 point shooting balance.
28) If we really need a home court playoff win
they can just fly Dave in – the team plays winning ball with him in the house.
Jordan's not a bad guy.. he gave us Gerald Wallace.
29) We finally have another professional team to cheer for when the Blazers lose in the playoffs
Go Timbers

30) We can beat the Mavs in the first round, just keep that 6th seed
There’s always one upset in the first round. Give us Dirk and friends; we’ll make that series count. Remember when Dallas almost handed us an upset in 2004 when Damon and Z-Bo went off? Remember their choke job against the Warriors in 07 and when Wade and the refs screwed them in 06? The refs are always against Dallas in the playoffs. They have to slap Mark Cuban around every year come April, it’s in their contract. Give us Dallas and we’ll give you victory.
made em jump like Rod Strickland
great post by the way.
definitely cheered me up.
31) We hae a team the Baylor Players can fit into when they go pro
Roy Bashing~ "Blakes gone...Brandon is next alphabetically " ;-}
Baylor or Butler?
the Bulldogs shot like Blazers, last Monday night
