    I think our team would take a few of the teams ranked above them, like Phoenix..

    I like our team. I'd put us in the top 5. The Lakers are sick though. Holy shit.

    Brings up an interesting question. Who are the top 5 in Blazers history?

    Mine are ...

    PG Lillard
    SG Roy
    SF/SG Drexler
    PF Lucas
    C Walton

    6th man: R. Wallace

    So many left off this list including Sabonis, Petrie, Vandeweghe, Aldridge, Porter, Kersey.

    What's your top 5?

    I wish they had gone with a conventional starting 5, since there was no SF on the Blazers roster, and imho, Walton should've started over Sabonis.

    If you went with position the player ACTUALLY played, and not "5 best", it makes a difference.

    Our top 5 won The Championship, and would sweep the 5 listed here.

    Really close to yours

    Dame
    Roy
    Drexler
    Sheed
    Walton
    (that's a squad)

    6-man CJ (I know this is a little premature but who was more of an injection of instant offense more than CJ?)

    With a bench mob of Sabonis, Porter, Lucas, Vandeweghe, Kersey, and Pippen.

    WT seriously Fuck? Oscar Robertson isn't on the Bucks????? Credibility gone. He's even wearing a Bucks jersey in the Kings photo. SM fucking Head.

    The no player on two teams thing is stupid. I can see no logical reason for it. If you were one of the all time best players on a team, you were one of the all time best players on that team. And if they are going to do that, they should still have put Lew Alcindor on the Bucks and Kareem on the Lakers ;)

    Fun read.

    My biggest "what?" was the Jazz ahead of the Blazers. Our Blazers' teams basically played, and beat, the Utah Jazz team featured in this article. And that wasn't even our best Blazers team beating them.
