    Also, even if Jordan's first hiatus was for his gambling issues, it was still a hiatus.

    No, they became good because Durant, Westbrook and Harden grew together... It's the same thing Curry, Thompson and Green are doing.

    Believe whatever you want to believe but they weren't going anywhere without Perkins.

    On that note I'll say GS was screwed because last postseason they didn't have Bogut in the lineup.

    Fascinating how Kingspeeds rationalization contradicts itself depending on who he is talking about. With one team what matters is what happened 3 years ago, with another it is about what they are like today. It's almost as if he is a time traveler who is confused about what day it is.

    Welcome to the year 2015 Kingspeed, we don't know what is going to happen in this years playoffs...only time will tell us that.

    MJ said he was burned out and wanted to try another sport. Maybe those highlight dunks did, in fact take a toll. If there were ever two players in NBA history who had get out of foul trouble free passes, it was MJ and Shaq. Their marketing power kept them on the court and allowed them to actually scream at refs and not get T'd up. It was a different era.

    Still had a long career. Read why I posted it to riverman's "highlight reel dunk players have short careers"

    No kidding. Different criteria for different people at different times to fit different agendas. It becomes unreadable after a certain time.

    This is a Blazer forum, people don't have to be factual or realistic. I agree with Kingspeed, fuck other teams, the Blazers are the best!

    And shame on some of you for not agreeing.

    Portland Trail Blazers will win it all barring an injury to Will Barton.

    That was their best move this season. Mozgov is a legit 7 footer that defends the paint. They don't need a superstar, just a good role player that will do the things Love sucks at

    I'll say this KS...the Cavs are crushing the Clips on TNT right now. The best I've seen them play.
