    The Nuggets are getting better as the series goes on. How can you not see that?

    LeBron is 35. He is old by NBA standards.

    Remember Phoenix just went undefeated in the bubble but didn't make the playoffs.
    The west is a very tough conference. But i would say OKC went down. Houston is struggling. The Clippers don't seem to be as good as advertised. Sac ain't getting much better. The Twolves are always supposed to be better but they never seem to do it. I just don't see the Jazz as all that great. When do we see a real drop off in Lebron? Will the Lakers even make it past the Nuggets? We all know GS is coming back but exactly how good will they be?
    Bottom Line is if the Blazers can get and stay healthy they will be a strong team. They needs a few adjustments which they can do. Add a solid wing player and a good back up PG and they will be in the mix.

    I kind of have to agree with this to a point. When do we start to see a drop off in his game? The problem is he is very very smart. They say the highest BBIQ in the game. He knows when to push and when not to. Even in the current series you can see him picking and choosing when to work hard and when not to.
    The one thing i agree with you on is it does seem to be more picking and less choosing to play hard.

    Just stop. You were using the term "OLD" in a negative light as if he is no longer affective.
    How do you type this stuff and go about your day?

    That's either a lack of confidence/disappointment from a past McDonalds All-American or false humility. Richard Jefferson was a jack of all trades and a master of none. He could score, which kept him on the floor, he was a decent defender, which kept him on the floor, he rebounded and passed sufficiently for his position which I'm sure kept him on the floor. Obviously the guy was a role player who was mostly a scorer when he was at his best but as far as staying on the floor... injuries limited that for him but when he was healthy he played and played a lot. Career average 29 minutes per game... not bad for a role player.

    Tyler Herro is what we all envision Anfernee Simons for the Blazers

    Herro may be the best player out of this draft if Zion doesn't get his health in order.

    I'm still not giving up on Ant yet. He definitely has all the physical skills to succeed. We saw what he was able to do early in the season. I think he just lost all confidence during the season.

    He is still very young. Only 1 year older than Herro.

    Miami will win the series and now maybe Bam is hurt. Lakers so lucky to win it all.
