    18/5/2 is 26 minutes. Not a bad night for LaMelo. Preseason, but still.
    Also, notice he gives the “3 to the dome” like Melo after his 3s.

    Wow - I wouldn't bet on ANY of them. Kind of puts our whining in perspective:

    To do that they have to either be one of the top 4 teams in the West or beat one of them. I wouldn't bet much if I were you.

    That's when our whining WAS appropriate.

    I'm sure someone has posted the GM's poll already, but here it is.

    Dame wins one category. Lebron is in the top five for 3 different positions, same as Doncic.

    Who is the dumbass GM that answered LeBron to the question "If you were starting a franchise today and could sign any player in the NBA, who would it be?"
    You'd start your franchise with a 35 years old, really ? Not someone that might be MVP caliber for the next 10 years ?

    One GM also picked former MVP Kevin Durant to have a "breakout season"...

    Nah this says "Make the second round" not Win in the second round. You are assuming they cannot place higher than 5th seed. Too many variables this season.
    Bottom Line though. You are correct. I would not bet much at all.
    "6 Teams haven't made at least the 2nd round of the playoffs for the last decade: who has the best chance to break the curse?"

    there are 2 or 3 WTF responses, but by and large, hard to take exception with any of the results

    of note to Blazer fans:

    Also of note for the Blazers:

    No mention of Stotts (even in the 'also receiving votes' category). One might suggest that Stott's best coaching quality is his 'Manager/Motivator' of people - yet no mention....
