    538 is trash and is safe to ignore on basically everything.

    I think I must have looked at stats for the team before the last game. I didn't realize we were hitting at that clip I just looked at the guy’s whose number I pulled. You are clearly correct.

    If they keep saying Portland will lose eventually they will be right. Just might not be until next year.

    This would be true if the model is judged for the team in a vacuum, but it does not, it looks at the entire league. So, some teams that were supposed to be good are still supposed to be good given the small sample size, but some teams that were predicted to be even worse than Portland also won a lot more than expected, which in turn, makes Portland's chances move a bit.

    Have to wonder how things will go if we see Nurk in early foul trouble against a big who is going off. We’re bound to see it at some point.

    Bam is legit. Somewhat under the radar. Butler gets more attention and focus.

    Their 3 point shooters can be lethal too. Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro.

    Miami , Shmiami. Heat, Shmeat. That's all I've got to say.

    A mobile, athletic '5' that can stretch the floor. Could cause Nurk some problems which will create rotational problems, and the Blazers haven't been very good at that as of yet.

    Still, who is going to step up tonight that will chill the Heat?

    I expect to see a bit more zone tonight than in the first 4 games.

    Bam certainly doesn't stretch the floor with his shooting. He hasn't made a 3 since 2020 and has made only 7 in his career. He does have great handles though and he could get Nurk in foul trouble with dribble-drives

    Those are all trash teams. I don’t care what they do to each other. Blazers on a higher level.

    Bam is overrated. Butler too inconsistent. When he scores 41, it’s noteworthy. When Dame scores 41, it’s just another day at the office.
