I've watched the Blazers this season give up a 20 point swing too many times, as they did to the Lakers tonight. I really want them to win, but if a team can't maintain the defensive intensity & poised shooting to avoid a 20 point swing (10 up to 10 down in a relatively short time) maybe they don't have championship fiber.
