    That's just not true. Well, they both have basketball players, but that's about where the similarities end.

    I see similarities too.........minus the MVP and greatest passing center ever to play. (Yes he was even a better passer than Sabonis)

    What I really wanted to say was
    But that's not true. There have never been better Jewish Blazer players than on this current team.

    I'd say he got that entirely backward. They score well and can defend when they need to.

    Can see what you mean, but I think he knows what he's talking about. The team defends good overall. Mathews/Batum/Wright have the ability to guard SF's and SG's, two high scoring positions pretty well. Then there's LMA who is a great man defender and Lopez who defends the paint fairly solid.

    LMA has been a go-to reliable scorer, and has opened up the floor for the 3pt shot that we often need. Then there's Lillard, the kid is absolutely clutch, no matter how well he's playing in a game it seems like he can always get us a bucket in the 4th quarter when needed most. IMO, the consistent scoring down the stretch is what has made this team so much better than last year.

    Oh shit BRoy is gonna hound Ramsey, saying he doesn't know what he's talking about!

    Sometimes watching the game goes well beyond the stats. The eye test from one of the greatest coaches in Blazer history thinks they defend well. I'm in good company!

    Without a terrific passing big man, the "similarity" isn't very similar.

    Oh sure, NOW you guys like Jack Ramsay, but the second he says something negative about the team, he'll be a hack!
