I think it's one of those things that you have to go through first before you can expect to have success. <br /><br />millertime: I agree, but reading some of the thoughts after the end of the season, it seemed to me that some people thought this team just got lucky 54 times.<br /><br />Randy: Disagree.<br /><br />Spanish Like Rudy: That's the spirit!Casey Holdahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10975397453477075486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708814052129381665.post-42714919993631865532009-05-06T09:20:00.000-07:002009-05-06T09:20:00.000-07:00Yes, I think we did grow, so I have to agree with ...Yes, I think we did grow, so I have to agree with Coach M . . . the bitter taste that the last game left will be the fire under our bellies and hopefully, they'll make sure to not fall into the same problem next year or later on as well. It's the growing pains . .(sorry I know, cliche), but I think it will help them tons in the future, its something you have to go through and we are only going to get better. Hey we won 2 games, we'll find out weaknesses overcome them, get those 2 other wins we need next year and then face another challenge and maybe just maybe overcome that one as well, in the same year. I don't know much about this kind of thing, but what can I do, just thinking positive for my team. Another cliche to finish off: aim for the stars, you'll land on the tree-top (still good result) but aim for the tree-top, you'll land on the ground (not so great result).

I feel that it is completely un bias of me to state that we currently have the best team in the NBA!Sure, we didnt get past the first round of the playoffs, but just wait until next year. The group of young men that form the team, have the want and the talent to become national champions. Right now we have a talented and young group of guys who want nothing more than to play ball! we need to keep who we have and what we have. We have a strong fan base, and a team that you can look up to. It all comes down to experience. If anyone knows more about the first round of the playoffs, its houston! This is nothing more than a valuable learning experience. Get ready for another exciting season from the team with the biggest drive and the most talent; The Portland TrailblazersSpanish_like_Rudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09297559613072967699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708814052129381665.post-18826383944420816582009-05-05T19:07:00.000-07:002009-05-05T19:07:00.000-07:00The trail blazers must find a new coach for the te...The trail blazers must find a new coach for the team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708814052129381665.post-11025609790038366182009-05-05T10:31:00.000-07:002009-05-05T10:31:00.000-07:00who doesnt think we have improved from game 1. we ...who doesnt think we have improved from game 1. we were better in game2. this team is special very special and young. we just gained experiece that most teams take years to accomidate. we did it with two rookies starting & were co dividion champs. not bad if you ask me. we have an upside that is almost mystical.IF everybody is healthy the blazers will be a better team the start of next season then they were at the end of this season. Losing the way they did to the rockets just made the blazers hungry all offseason long. This will drive them to the next level. Like steroids in their developement. They will not plateau and keep getting better every season till their peak. which is not for quiet some time.millertimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743734765872154600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708814052129381665.post-72560064767885821832009-05-05T06:03:00.000-07:002009-05-05T06:03:00.000-07:00Casey:

Maybe after last nights win The Rockets will go on a tear that will show everybody their greatness. I can hope :).<br /><br />hghghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04083526070820960659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708814052129381665.post-69158732760008157452009-05-05T05:48:00.000-07:002009-05-05T05:48:00.000-07:00Casey: hg here;

Not that we lost both games by a large amount, but the confusion and anxiety of what is happening and what to do.<br /><br />I remember in game 1 after pre-season, we thought we were a pretty good team and if we couldn't beat The Lakers at least we could compete with them.<br /><br />In the final game after the long season and winning two games in the play-offs, we once again felt confident that we could go to Houston and if not win at least compete.<br /><br />In both games we looked lost, and confused. Giving me the illusion that they felt they were good enough to beat Houston without bringing their A game.<br /><br />I know the way I felt was far from the truth. But the last game like the the first game, I didn't know what the truth was. I know they are a great team. I know they wanted to win with every once of strength in their bodies. What I don't know is why; <br /><br />I seen in several time throughout the season when they knew they were good enough to win but came out stinking up the joint. The first game and the last game were good examples of that. Why?<br /><br />hghghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04083526070820960659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708814052129381665.post-4900525947398197052009-05-05T02:08:00.000-07:002009-05-05T02:08:00.000-07:00I think maybe starting Rudy was a bad idea, especi...I think maybe starting Rudy was a bad idea, especially if they weren't going to let him shoot. I don't know what to think of game 6 and maybe I'm wrong about Rudy, but I liked Batum getting the start.BRoyFTWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422305146656613795noreply@blogger.com
