OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread - February edition

How did we lose to this team at home? smh. Don't care if they had Hawes/Turner-- they still sucked ass.

 

That's not good news

 

Even bad teams occasionally play well. They also beat the Heat, the Bulls (back when they were decent) and the Rockets. When they beat us, it was their 4th consecutive win - all on the road against Western Conference teams. They definitely beat us at their peak. I believe only one other Eastern Conference team all season, the Heat (and they had five days off between wins 2 and 3 due to the All-Star break) has beaten 4 Western Conference teams in a row on the road.

I don't. He forced his way out of Denver to go to the Knicks. He deserves what he gets.

 

Agreed. You know they're winning the lottery. You just know it.

 

Need Danny Granger to pass up the Spurs for us...

 

42-17 at the end of the first in Houston vs Sactown. Harden has outscored the entire Sacramento team and has 22.

 

Wolves down to the Suns going into the 4th quarter. I read a tweat that 20 is the number combined Minnesota losses and Mavericks wins and the Wolves will be eliminated from the playoffs.

 

Jimmer is going to be bought out by the Kings. Should we be interested? He might look nice in Stotts system.

 

Shooting something like 49% from three and doesn't play much defense. Sounds perfect! In all seriousness, I think he can be productive off the bench if given consistent minutes.

 

I would love Jimmer on our team. He wouldn't play a lot but he could be valuable in the future.

 

I would love some Jimmer on the Blazers but I don't see a place. He would be fighting for Minutes with CJ and Barton and I dont' think he would beat both out at the moment.

 

Jimmer is as much of a PG as CJ. Meaning neither of them are.
Ay 6.'2" Jimmer is even shorter than CJ. I would rather have CJ and we can't afford both.

 

Are we going to go after any guys being bought out? Sheesh our team isn't THAT good.

 

And our bench isn't that bad.

 

Glen Davis, Danny Granger both would've been nice.

 

Right now it's pretty damn bad with so many injuries. Jimmer wouldn't help that though.

 

I misread your original post. Sorry. In fact, I was kind of agreeing with what I thought you said.

You were wondering why we haven't gone after ANY viable player. It does seem like we could have upgraded a spot here or there. It does take two to tango though.

Getting the feeling the Blazers are in fact standing pat until the off season.
