Colin Meloy knows better than you bozos: "I’m pretty content with the guys we got. I think our bench has gotten better from last year. But maybe a few more big guys on the bench, because we were scraping the bottom for a bit. I think we’re in good shape. What do I know? Terry Stotts is the master."
Sure...the same roster, with players who have improved significantly, run by a much better coach who is better able to put them in position to be successful. You have watched them and seen how much better they are than last year, right?
Yep I have. They are the second most watched team by me. I've also watched our team be significantly better, especially on the defensive end. Without Batum (we are accustomed to), Lopez, freeland and Aldridge. You've watched Portland and seen how much better than they are last year, right?
Nobody is disputing that the Blazers are better this year. But the improvement Golden State has shown has been much more marked.
If that happens, I'll do so gladly. I'll be even happier than you are about Meyers Leonard's improvement.
Well there would be no need for circles if you didn't use the past for the Spurs (years and years of winning titles, etc), then use current arguments (Golden State currently has the best record), then discount (Portland made it further last season) and then use (Golden State is better because they have a better record) today, while discounting (Portland today has a much better record than SAS). As you see, there is this thing called Pot meet kettle. You either stick with one way of argument and use it on all arguments. Almost like how you claim how much better our team would be with the low post presence of boogie, then discount Aldridge's posting up more, scoring more and turning the ball over less in another thread.
No, he can't decide if he should trade LaMarcus Aldridge for Kevin Love, or Damian Lillard for Mike Conley. BNM
I think it's an awesome statement about the Blazers and Rip City that that guy and me are fans of the same team.
Uhhhh what? With Kaman, Freeland, lma, Lopez, t rob and Leonard, trading for another big is the last thing we need. We need someone to push batum
I'm sorry, I mistakenly thought you could follow a string of thoughts - especially your own: This appears to be you saying that the Spurs get the benefit of the doubt given their 15ish years of dominance. We don't hold their regular season W/L record against them because they "have won it all and proven they can turn it on." "SAS will be a contender until proven otherwise." Do you not agree with your own statements? I thought it was hashed out that we can use SAS's past success to grant them leeway on their not-so-stellar W/L record. GS and POR (and everybody else in the league) don't get that treatment because nobody else has proven anything in the playoffs, which leads us to... To which I responded... And you responded... Bringing us back to you using the past of POR/LAC/OKC/GS as an indicator of the future. None of those teams (other than SAS) have "made it further than GS" in anything that matters. Last year doesn't mean jack for anyone other than SAS.
