This was about as ugly as a W gets. Scoreless for 6 minutes in the 3rd and still win. It was a gift. NY is a really bad team. But for all they laid on the table for Portland to grab for the taking, the Blazers were polite and let NY go first.
OK, I'm a Charger fan so I have misgivings. I'm always expecting the worst and when the best happens I think it's mostly luck! And you look for disturbing patterns and trends. At times over the last two games I have had thoughts of, maybe they are coming out of this zone and reality looms. Like .500 is perfectly fine for the rest of the season. You get a taste, and you get greedy. I think this team has crossed a plateau of sorts, and will continue. Or is it like the new QB that kills it his rookie year and plummets to reality when all the defenses have him figured out during his sophmore year jinx? On paper, at the beginning of the season you could think this. But not now.
I heard some stuff on the local sports radio (1080 the fan) and already one guy says its done. This team is experiencing it's 1st shooting slump since this ride began. I think they have lost like 3 or 4 out of the last 20. Not bad for starting like 7 games below .500 this season.
Barring any injury to Roy, this team has the components to play solid ball and play above the break even mark and make the playoffs. I disagree with Big Suke or Gavin or whoever these honks be who give up. They make a point. I see what they are saying. Still they find a way to win.
Isiah Thomas...pack it in dude! Have you no shame? It must suck to be you. Except for all the $$. I would give you a pat on your behind but, eh, that's your job. You had this one is the bag. Go away!
Onto this Monday night. I'm psyched for the Nuggets game. So far 2 of the top 3 of the NWset Division. And they clash at the Garden and I'll be there in the luxurious 300 level in the $10.00 end zones. Still a gas up there too!
