@WorldWideWob If you would have told me before the season: 42 wins, an All-Star, win a road play-in game for the 7-seed, then get gentlemanly swept by a very good Spurs team, I take it. But having sat through the blown leads of games 3 and 4 at Moda, it feels like there should have been more.
@GMottaTV I wasn’t expecting anything from them for attending a playoff game, but a tiny pennant for “fan appreciation day” against the Kings was extremely lame.
@ToreyJonesYT I think Splitter has done a great job given the circumstances, but they need someone with more dynamic options than running Deni downhill in crunch time.
Sports have this incredible power to bring people together. It doesn't matter who you are, how you pray, who you vote for or love — you can root for the same team. We need that more than ever today.
This is personal for my family — and I'm ready to get to work. We're going to build a team and an organization that makes Rip City proud.

The Portland Trail Blazers are .500 with 8 games left to play, and they have the 3rd easiest remaining strength of schedule in the NBA.
Their pre-season win total was set to 35.5. Their head coach was arrested by the FBI the morning after Game 1. This is a successful season.
@SleeperBlazers He just happened to have two of his best games of the season in the playoffs. Let’s not act like this was LaDanian Tomlinson. He had TWO 100-yard games in the regular season. The NBA Finals usually doesn’t get non-star MVPs because it’s a best of seven, not a winner-take-all.
