Meh.
Would you please stop kicking the Blazers when their down?
Posted by Justin | February 27, 2008 7:03 AM
I was astonished that the new point guard from Denver, that's just looking for a chance, was DNP Coaches Decision!

You're opinion of Javie is spot on. I think the word snuck through my filter because of the spelling.

Is there any reason why we can't know why Sergio isn't playing?

I found myself watching Tennessee-Vanderbilt instead of the Blazers last night. I don't see how the Lakers could get Paul Gasol. It doesn't seem right on a hoops justice level. And with Yao Ming coming up hurt with the always career-threatening stress fracture of the foot, I wondered if the magic of the NBA season could be ending. But then the Obama call to Oden cheered me up - especially when he said he wasn't feeling Greg's new mohawk. That's funny. I think the plan now is to follow college hoops for awhile. Saturday's Tennessee-Memphis game was electric. And I still hold out hopes for a great NBA playoffs. At least the Blazers got us through the All-Star break. They were a legit Cinderella team for a couple of months, but lately they've just been playing like they have glass slippers on.

Well that kinda limits things, eh?
Face it, the "up time" this season was a fluke. The Blazers are back to normal.
Posted by Jon | February 27, 2008 7:40 AM
It's all very simple. The Blazers are tired and bored - they're tired of playing hard each game and bored with each other. They have the talent to make it into the playoffs, as they showed by their stellar play in December, but they lack the motivation. They get paid the same huge salary for each game no matter what the outcome. They need someone besides the now-injured Brandon Roy to light a fire under their arses. The Blazers are doggin' it.

With the demise of Blazer Cable, I was initially bummed we in the hinterlands could not watch the cinderella story unfold. Oh well. Now we follow the two local freshmen phenoms - Love from LO and Singler from Medford. UCLA and Duke receive a fair amount of air time and both are winning programs with both freshmen starting. I no longer miss pro hoops. Check out ESPN tonight at 6:00PM for Duke Georgia Tech. Go Singler.

Oh ye of little faith.
It's time to inject Beranrd Hinault's three rules of bike racing (and life) into this discussion.
*Believe in yourself
*Never panic
*Don't be upset by the moment
Posted by Pat Malach | February 27, 2008 11:13 AM
Pat, your three rules sound like Hillary's credo at the moment. Go Hillary!
Posted by Moses Ross | February 27, 2008 11:16 AM
Moses, you think Hillary isn't panicking?
Clearly she's not a fan of late-70s, early 80s European bike racing. Another hole in her "experience" mantra.
Posted by Pat Malach | February 27, 2008 11:50 AM
Jack is becoming a total head case with all of the un-forced turn overs. It's a frustrating and painful thing to watch.
Posted by Usual Kevin | February 27, 2008 1:57 PM
I was at the Celtics game on Sunday and they looked good during the first half, but then Roy went down with the ankle injury and the Celtics decided to actually play like they were supposed to.
I see a lot of potential but the team is still raw. I don't think it's time to throw in the towel and mix up the roster just yet.

The third youngest team in NBA history is about to finish around 0.500 (in a brutal conference) for the season, throughout which they were missing the centerpiece of their franchise. This is a team built around player development, not winning games now. In a couple years, with a couple scrappy vets, things will be very different.
The winning streak didn't mean we're a dynasty and the losing streak doesn't mean our future is overrated.
