To all those that keep wishing for a playoff berth: Gotta admire your spirit, but if you actually think that this team can win a 5 or 7 game series with the lakers or blazers, then your tragically delusioned. Accept it...it ain't gonna happen. Better to get a decent draft choice than a butt kicking in the first round. We've had enough of those in the past few years and what did that get us?
As soon as your finished questioning my loyalty, maybe you'll understand that pro ball is a business and that long term planning is necessary for success. Then you can tell me just how limping into the playoffs and getting booted out in the first round by a clearly superior team comes to play in your long range scenario.
