Got lucky with a Spurs loss. Portland still needs to go into hostile territory against playoff teams and come away with a W. Then they must defend home court.
Man, these next three games are tough. Even with a healthy roster. I say hold out Dame til he's healthy. That sprain looked bad man.
Hezonja has some potential. Depending on where he lands in the offseason, he could build on a decent 2017-18 and maybe become a solid rotation player somewhere.
Yeah.I don't really fear the Spurs the way i have in the past. I know Aldridge and they just don't have that player that makes me wonder like they used to.
Right now they own a three game lead over both Utah and San Antonio with 4 games to play. They play the Jazz at home for the last game of the season. I kind of think that game will not make a difference by the time it gets here.
You only want to hold Lillard out because without him Portland has a higher chance of losing. Therefore your prediction won't look as bad.
Raptors fans all in panic mode and they know it’s the same Craptors all over again that they won’t beat the Cavs. They all know that Lowry is a fraud lol.
This just underscores how atrocious ET has been. Also, Nurk fills a great need in the lineup - but I'm uneasy committing to him for more than $15-18M per year. Before everyone starts harping on how bad Pat has been (which he has), just look at what AC has done this year in Brooklyn.... Pat has been an upgrade in talent.
And this one is for any of those that were hoping Melo to Portland was a real thing... He's worst in the league, by a large margin. (note - this chart eliminated the rookies, so that ET would show up on the page).
https://nbamath.com/tpa-model/ When looking at the players that rank high on this list (and low on this list), it seems to match up really well with what the eye test shows. That at least give me a decent comfort level on using the data.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that show how freaking valuable Nurk is on defense? He crushes everyone else on the team in DPS.
