    Blazers 1-0, Lakers 0-2. Perfect, so far.

    Yep. And last year, you said we should be trading the pick we tanked for because a rookie can't help Dame. What if we had won the lottery? Are you saying Banchero couldn't help Dame this year? It's amazing. You just have so much to learn.

    Yep. This is an excellent class. Keegan Murray hasn't played yet and Chet won't play til next season. We chose the right year to tank.

    A quality opponent??? The Nets are one of the worst teams in the league! Of course the Pels were going to roll over them.

    I was wrong! The Clippers DO have the best bench in the NBA!

    They need to trade LeBron and AD. Get picks. Rebuild. LeBron can go to Cleveland and AD can come to Portland.

    That would be a horrible decision. The Lakers are bad and when LeBron breaks down, they are going to be worse. Their only hope to improve is to use those picks to draft elite young talent. Trading them for Turner and Hield? Yikes. That won't be enough to win the title and their future would be shot. They'd go 10 years without making the playoffs.

    Clippers were completely healthy in 2020 and choked away a 3-1 lead in the second round. At their core, the Clippers have no leader on the floor. Kawhi is great but Lowry was the leader on the Raptors. For this reason, I don't see how a healthy Clippers team beats Golden State. They certainly can't beat the Bucks!

    I'm not sure what made me happier?
    The Blazers winning or the Lakers losing their second in a row with Westbrook shooting 0-11?

    right now, there is an 8-way tie for first in the 15 team western conference. I wonder if that has ever happened before....probably?

    I saw that last night and wondered how hard Westbrook was trying not to look annoyed every time Beverly spoke. At some point, he is going to lose it if Beverly tries to instruct him on how to play D.
