    If the Blazers tank I hope they do it right. I hope teams beat us so bad that Barrett actually has to call the games STRAIGHT. That would be interesting, here Barrett and Rice unable to "homer" the calls. Wow. What a change.

    The L*kers won 21 last year. Let's see how you break down the teams, and how you think we're going to be worse than that:

    PG: Dame v. Ronnie Price (20 Starts), Jeremy Lin (30 starts) and Jordan Clarkson (32 starts)
    SG: Henderson/CJ vs. K*be (35 starts), Wayne Ellington (36 starts), Clarkson (6), Jabari Brown-not-Parker (4) and Vander Blue (1) with Swaggy P Nick Young coming off the bench
    SF: Aminu v. Wesley Johnson (59) Carlos Boozer (22), Jordan Clarkson (1)
    PF: Ed Davis/Meyers Leonard v. Ryan "White Raven", (I swear I'm not making that up) Kelly (34), Ed Davis (24), Jordan Hill (20), Carlos Boozer (4)
    C: Plumlee/Leonard v. Jordan Hill (37) Tariq Black (27) , Robert Sacre (18)

    There is literally nowhere aside from K*be v. CJ where there is even a shot that the L*kers starters are as good as our starters this year. And they won 21 games. How do you expect we'll win less?

    +> I went through Catholic grammar schoool. The experience was fucked up. One nun who was a great knuckle torture expert actually looked like Ernest Borgnine. Of course, our parents did not complain like they could now. All of these events plus other disappointments turned me off and away from the Catholic church. God is relevent but the middlemen are in question.
    The church should have let natural social evolution occur and allow married people like other Christian religions

    The 2005-06 Blazers won just 21 games. You must be much younger than you seem. That team finished even worse, losing 28 of their last 31 games, than the KP coached team the previous season.

    Well, there ya go. I stand corrected, and the point still stands that the worst team that Boob's ever seen still won more than 20 games.

    Edit: To be fair, I was at sea most of that season, so I never saw them play.

    J. Hill > Plumlee
    Kobe > Henderson

    Johnson = Aminu
    Davis (Lakers best PF) = Davis

    Dame > Price

    2015 Lakers (21 wins) slightly > 2016 Blazers (projected 15-20 wins)

    Kobe played 35 games. The other 47 were Wayne Ellington and Jabari Brown and Vander Blue. Not > Henderson.

    Hill may be better than Plumlee, but none of the stats say that. Plumlee's younger, plays better D, higher PER, higher Reb%, higher shooting %'s, everything except FT%. He sucks there. But even if I said Hill was better, are you forgetting about Tariq Black and Robert Sacre starting 45 games?

    I'm also interested in why you think Wes Johnson is on the same level as Aminu. By almost any measure, Wes completely sucks and Aminu's better at everything on offense, rebounding, and everything on defense. Edit: Sorry, not everything on offense. Wesley's a better 3pt shooter. 35%-27%.

    AND THEY STILL WON 21 GAMES!

    Now Sly!!! Tisk Tisk!

    Ive nailed it. I know why your posts bother me so much. Because you are always so negative and down on the team but never provide any statistical analysis to back up your beliefs and comments.

    Please, for the love of God (and this forum), once in a while back up your opinions with substance... or try. It will help so much more in the understanding of your posts. At first I thought you were a troll. seriously. Someone on here posting one line negatives to stir drama. Ive come to know that you are a Blazer fan, but seriously. Once in a while you might find trying ti be positive will brighten your day. :)
