This might be our year to go deep into the playoffs.

Yeah - they are looking real tough. However, this thread may not get a lot of play just because WA folks don't really want to hear about other successful NBA teams. The butt hurt still stings for a lot of folks up here.

I haven't seen a team like this in Rip City for a long time.
Maybe if they can beat the Okies, the Pugetropoli might crack a grin.


I'd be mad as hell if some Okie took my team.

It's hard not to like their selfless style of team play.
You don't see that very much in the NBA, reminds me of the Bill Walton days.
CJ McCollum is ready to see action soon, this guy might be better than Lillard.

Makes me think of Jack Ramsay, watching what's going on lately.

Jack's in failing health but has been in contact with Coach Stotts offering words of encouragement.

I'm stoked the Blazers are clicking!



I still am. I went to a lot of Sonics games with my dad as a kid and I just love basketball and I play the sport still to this day for exercise.

Losing the Sonics is still one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen in professional sports. I didn't know it could be so easy to snatch a team that was actually pretty damn good from a city like Seattle. That type of crap is what curses teams. I wouldn't be surprised if the Thunder never wins a championship.

The NBA boycott is still running strong at my house. David Stern & Clay Bennett and Co can pound sand as far as I'm concerned.

So if Boeing moves out of Seattle, and they get another NBA franchise, will they call them the Subsonics?

If Portland grows up can we still call it a wanna be San Francisco or Seattle or will it always be just an overgrown Tacoma?

Yep, fuk the NBA.....never again.

Should have built the new arena, it would have been cheaper in the long run.

Goddam, these Blazers are imposing their will on opponents late in the 4th quarter, on the friggin road.




Mike Brown was confused, concerned and confounded.

11-0 against the East, hottest team in the NBA.
