    I believe it's what is referred to as addition by subtraction.

    Blazers will get one of SA/DEN then close it out vs Utah. Honestly, all we have to do to get the 3 seed is beat the Jazz. Utah has the Warriors in SLC the night before as well.

    With Baldwin being a little Brandon Roy, a little Andre Miller, and a little Pat Beverly, we should win the DEN game...maybe even the SAS game.

    I'm waiting to buy tickets. That game might be completely meaningless.

    I like what Baldwin has done in a small sample size, but putting him in the discussion of players like Roy, Miller and even Beverley at this stage is very premature. I hope he can live up to those standards but even if he doesn't can still become a solid role player.

    I think the best comparisons I can come up with for Baldwin are Eric Bledsoe and Avery Bradley in their early years in LA/Bos. Would be amazing if Baldwin can become our third guard mainstay off the bench next year.

    Warriors will beat Utah so our last game with them should be just like a practice game for both teams. We get the 3rd seed

    and I don't understand why this forum opened the doors to you. I was invited, were you? I was told one particular poster was dragging the average iq down and they needed new posters to bring it up. :beatinto:

    Please, MJ didn't have the physical gifts Wade has. They just aren't comparable.

    Comparing a player's skillset to another's isn't the same as saying said player is as good as who you're comparing them to. :dunno:
