Notice What would you grade the season in retrospect?

I gave it a B but only because there was no B- option or C+

 

I'd give them a B+ for the regular season, and a D- for the playoffs.

I generally think of them as separate seasons. Taken as a whole, it would depend on how one weights the two seasons. Clearly some here give 90% of the weight to the playoffs. If the 82 game regular season is weighted equally to the playoffs, I guess it would be a C. Bummer on blowing the final.

 

D

That seems to be one of the many things they lack..

 

D for me. Worse yet, I see nothing that indicates the management of this team even tries to do anything more than field a team just good enough to fill the Garden seats.

 

So many ways to take this...

 

Solid B for me. Some here seem to forget what a horrific defensive team we were the previous year.
In fact, many here (probably including me) thought it would be impossible for the team to improve this much on defense.
However, at the same time, our offense slipped, and of course there was the playoffs disaster (though we were missing
a starter).

There is room for optimism. If we can continue our excellent defense while regaining our superior
offense, we should again be a much improved team. Of course, this is not a given.

Solid B, cautiously optimistic.

 

Solid B. I thought they'd win less than 40. I don't think its a very talented team outside of 2 people, who play in the back court and are both small. They were terrible defensively the year before. So many average players, to win that many games was impressive. The Pelican series was a disaster but from start to finish, a B.

 

I'm so sick of this ridiculous hyperbole. No, they didn't play "most their games against teams with their best players out". That's just not factually correct.

And guess what, those injured players didn't just miss games against POR, they missed them against every other team in the Western Conference as well.

Disagree? Then prove me wrong. Name one injured "best player" who only missed games against Portland. Can't do it? Then drop this tired, lame ass "take". Just because you say something over and over and over ad nauseum doesn't make it true.

BNM

 

Great minds think alike?

 

lol, don't you know that we were the only team that played other teams with injured players during the season. I give the season a solid B even though the playoffs were disappointing. We were in a slump and Pelicans were hot at the time. Another factor nobody mentions is going into the playoffs our best player just had his first baby (a son at that) as well as having his brother shot at Clackamas Town Center. Nobody knows what his mindset was like going into the playoffs and could have lead to his struggles.

Shit, you're right it DOESN'T make it true FAMS!

 

Right, I was already both of those things.

BNM

 

It figures you would be satisfied... an excuse for everything... no accountability. Blazers were complete garbage... outside of 13 game streak they were essentially a .500 ball club... and that’s with playing most teams without their best players... not to mention the Blazers were DEAD LAST in entire NBA in assist and fast break points thanks to McLillard ISO ball... went 5-7 to close the season while fighting for playoff position, including losses to Mavs and Grizz who were trying to lose... then get swept by a shitty Pelicans team that we made look all world... and in a pathetic showing went down 15+ in 3 of 4 games... now rest of NBA has blueprints on how easy it is to guard McLillard ISO ball

 

Hey, wait a tic..... didn't you just post this EXACT thing in TEN other threads? I have a feeling you would sneak in how much you hate Neal and how we played every team missing their best player into a thread about the Magic searching for a coach or in the Hawaiian earthquake thread!

 

Lay off the childish personal attacks. It's not necessary.

#FakeNews, #AlternativeFacts

Again with the hyperbole. Prove it already or shut up about it. Every team in the West played against teams missing "their best players". Name ONE "best player" who only missed games against Portland. ONE that's all I ask. Did Butler ONLY miss games against POR? Did Gobert? Did Harden? Who exactly are all these "best players" that only missed games against Portland????

BNM

 

'C'

They made the Playoffs (like over half of the teams in the NBA do) but then were completely irrelevant. So I give them the lowest passing grade possible. At least they made them but.......ugh!

 

Curious what your prediction was at the beginning of the season?

 

Every thread around here turns into an... My opinion is right and yours is wrong.... getting boooooring......

It is okay to have a respect for the team and still think they had struggles and could have done better.

It is okay to believe the team did good this year, but still cant contend and needs to improve in order to do so.

Conversely, it is also okay to believe they stunk it up this year, but still have respect for the team.

The one theme I think we can all agree on... or most, is that this team still needs to improve one way or another in order to be relevant moving forward.

Edit: Gronk I quoted you not specifically, but generally IMO.

 

It's all he knows. Claims he values other opinions but every opportunity he gets he attacks those with differing opinions.

 

My Prediction was that the Blazers could be anywhere from 3-10 and I picked them third because I was a homer. I actually backed off of that around January though, because up until then the team just looked bleh.... Which is part of the C grade for me.
I think the thing about the playoff series was, how much they didn’t even look competitive... I know it’s harsh, but dang that playoff series made it look like they were fortunate to get the 3 seed and a long ways off from the better teams. I don’t detract from the 13 game win streak, but they had a 6 game home losing streak, some bad road trips, a bad stretch to end the season. The season as a whole was just so much bad and good I really think a C is what they were.
