Steve Smith on Blazers: Good enough for NBA finals

Good read. He's right about the west. Completely up for grabs.

 

Houston still scares the shit out of me. Dwight is still the hardest person to guard in the league.

 

Can you post the article? The framing is all fucked up and I can't read it

 

Which is (weirdly enough) why we got Kaman, who has a reputation as a bit of a Howard stopper.

 

I get the feeling you wouldn't hear Clyde saying that.

 

Sweet thanks bro! I agree with him as well. I don't think there really would be upsets in the first round. So many teams are even strength and you just need a couple players to get hot in a series and it's all over.

Fuck Clyde and his Houston Homer Color Commentator Ass! That asshole made his mark in the league as a Blazer and cashed in for a title. He has no loyalty whatsoever. Man it disappoints me that I was so homer for him too.

 

Of course they are good enough. They just got to keep growing and start believing.

 

Yup.

Still love Clyde, and actually rooted for that Houston squad, but he's lack of love for Portland is bs.

 

Me too, but they were down to possibly the worst team in the history of the league on the last possession of the game.

 

That's a good article by Eggers.

 

Houston will implode.

 

When they start playing good teams, probably.

 

Steve Smith got an up close look at the chemistry of 1-15 during training camp. He knows what is up.

 

That and he is an unbiased person from what I've seen (Open Court). He seems to give every team a chance and looks past the marketing bullshit unlike people like Reggie Miller..

 

Me match up so well with Houston now that they got rid of asik. Batum can D ariza, there is nobody to guard LA (I think asik did the best job on him, you can't have Dwight that far from the rim or we will get 2nd chance points all day) and there is no way montejunas can guard Kaman.
