Discussion in 'Portland Trail Blazers' started by Darkwebs, Mar 10, 2019.

?

Would you rather have the 6th/7th Seed than the 5th, since it means we won't face GS in the 2nd Rd?

Poll closed Mar 17, 2019.
  1. Yes

    2.6%
  2. Yes, but I still want POR to try to win as many games as they can towards the best seed possible

    36.8%
  3. No, but I wouldn't be too disappointed to get the 6th or 7th seed instead of the 5th.

    2.6%
  4. No, I'd rather have 5th seed, so POR can have possible HCA against the 6-8th seeds in later rounds

    10.5%
  5. No, if POR is in the bottom half of Playoff seeding, it doesn't make much of a difference where, 5-8

    23.7%
  6. No, bring on the Warriors! The Blazers got nothing to fear.

    Pretty much every NBA players has ups and downs. Lillard included.

    Yes, that's true. That's where the value of looking at standard deviation comes in. CJ's variances from the mean are, on average, much greater than Dame's.

    Not sure any of the details, but Wheels didn't make the trip with us.

    YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP! This is almost as memorable a post as the old, "Why can't I see this?"
    This dud is UNREAL! HA!!!!!! I'm literally laughing at his post.

    hope he's OK. I do like Travis (and I think he'll make the leap to a pro play by play eventually), but he's not Wheels.

    NOT saying he's not good, just it's like when Schonz left...it took a while to adjust.

    Wait, is the guys name Travis?

    Not sures why you are comparing Lillard to McCollum though. They don't even play the same position and provide different roles for the team Do you not think McCollum is a very important peice to the Blazers success this year?

    Be nice. I texted him and told him to unblock you so he could read CJ's posts.

    Interesting question. Why exactly would someone bring Dame up while in discussion about CJ's inconsistency?

    Now, to address the other part of your post:

    You'll notice I didn't compare their production to one another; I compared their production to themselves. I compared their consistency to one another. Do you posit that position has an impact on consistency?

    As to the last question, that's much too subjective for this discussion. I'm only looking at numbers; you (and others) are welcome to interpret them however you choose.

    No, I was hoping that you'd be cool and not try to fire shit up again.

    Sly trying to be a good doggie. But the former HCP really doesn't like dog bones. Probably chases cats though.

    There are 30 teams in the league.
    There are no more than 20 superstars in the league.

    If you can get a guy like CJ to be your #2 option then you are actually lucky.

    Otto Porter, Millsap, Gordon Hayward,Wiggins,Drummond,Whiteside,Dwight Howard,Harrison Barnes,Nic Batum,Carmelo etc make as much money as CJ does or more and i wouldn't touch any of them with Neil Olshey's designer shoe.

    Shooting guards have good nights and bad nights, it was never a rare occurrence to see D-wade or Kobe end a night with 8/20 shooting or something like that, but as you can see - it all evens out in their overall stats.

    This is the only thing I hate about this forum.....Sly, you and the other mods always give KingSpeed and a couple other preferential treatment! It makes me sick! Like they have special rules JUST for them, Just because he’s a movie star!

    Yeah Bev got sucked into a fouling CJ right away on a 3, I found that laugh out loud funny. Bev was pissed at himself, sort of comical. They tried to deal with CJs incendiary shooting but then Jake nailed one and that was all she wrote.

    @KingSpeed took me out to dinner last night, of course I'm going to give him preferential treatment.

    Are you trying to say you will not hump just about anyone?
