Christmas is the one time of year when it is easiest to reflect and realize how blessed you really are. As Blazers fans we really have been blessed over the recent years. The Blazers haven’t had the post season success that we would all love to see, but they have been in the playoffs 8 of the last 10 years, including 5 straight playoff appearance. Along with the playoff appearances, The Blazers have only drug us through 2 sub-0.500 seasons in the past 10 years. Call it mediocrity if you wish, but if you get to watch more wins than losses in a season, that’s a blessing and that’s more than a lot of other fan bases can say about their respective franchises over the last 10 seasons.
