    Exactly. Because they’re not that good. Did we ever have a 6-22 stretch? No.

    We had more injuries but nonetheless, with Ingram/Lonzo/Hart core healthy, they went 6-22.

    But if their other guys go on a 13 game losing streak like they DID, how good is the team as a whole?

    Wear your Gabriel jersey and cheer your head off. We need you.

    Pelicans are too young and Grizzlies are spiraling down the drain. Our biggest competition down the stretch is SA and Sac.

    Ancient history. They were bad, now they're not. Now they're better than the Blazers. You can deny it all you want, but it's true.

    I disagree. If I had to bet on who gets the 8 seed, I would bet on Portland. Dame will come back and he is currently better than anyone on the Pelicans.

    Blazers are tied in the loss column with Kings, Spurs, Pelicans and all of them are 3 behind Grizzlies. Portland still doesn't have a real time-table for how long Dame will be out. I think of all those teams Portland has the least amount of good players playing right now. Yes, Dame is the best player for any of those teams but if they go like 2-5 or something without him, there is a good chance they basically can't lose any more after that to get in. It'll be interesting I guess. Hopefully they get a win tonight.

    They're somewhat better - until we add Dame - and definitely not once we add Nurk and Collins. I understand it's been a rough year, but that is reality. Dame was enough for us to win in LA - the Pelicans couldn't do that last week.

    Yes. I think we will win. Indiana has been incredibly inconsistent and I believe we destroyed them in Portland.

    Dame is also better than anyone on Utah or OKC, but those teams are better than the Blazers too.

    Sure...if Dame is putting up a nearly 50-point triple double, the Blazers are a good team. That's not something that can be expected regularly.

    Looking at starting lineups; I have them better at 4 positions and maybe a tossup at SF

    Stotts should've challenged that Whiteside foul. 6-0 run since.

    Looking at CJ on defense he has no foot speed and that a problem if you going to be able to guard in this league.
