CBS Sports NBA Writer Brad Botkin joined the Brian Noe Show. He isn't surprised by the Blazers being in a 3-1 hole against the Lakers because the Lakers are the better team. He and Brian discussed the local fanbase's negativity towards Terry Stotts, and Botkin summed it up by suggesting people's expectations are too high for this team currently constructed. The Blazers are a really good team, but they lack the talent (& health) needed to compete with the true championship contenders.
