Is this what fans were waiting for?

It is as far as I'm concerned. I all but lost interest in following basketball until this year. A young core of guys who believe in team ball and showing some character! I'll back that.

I said several years ago that if the Blazers would bring in a bunch of good people that will bust their asses on the court, i'd come back to the team, and I have. I still have yet to make a game, but I have watched several on TV, and plan to make it to a few games...

yeah me too. I just can't bring myself to back the kind of characters that the team was putting on the floor. Winning only means something if it is accomplished with some kind of character. Still a lot of creeps in the league, but at least I won't be finding excuses to cheer for them.

That's pro sports in a nutshell. A lot of people have just given up in the search for talent with class and character and look for talent alone and feed them the "Just win, baby" attitude from the time the guys are in High School until they retire....

But it's a real bonus when you have a high caliber, blue collar work ethic set of guys around.
