    So I’ve seen we are the 3rd youngest, but heard we are second and last night somebody said we are youngest. Make it make sense.

    This is going to be a tough one, OKC's defense is amazing. They are also so effin' quick to convert turnovers into points.

    Gotta really admire how good they look as a basketball team, they just play pretty, tough-nosed basketball.

    I think the Blazers are a year or two away from being able to withstand the kind of defensive pressure they are going to face there.

    The Blazers are the second youngest team by .052 years.

    The Thunder are the youngest team.

    The Spurs are third.

    This is must-win. We’re only 1 game out of HCA in the first round and the West is tough.

    Average age of the starting lineup matters much more than the 15th man on the roster. I never understood why people weigh the age of players at the end of the bench who doesn't play at all the same as a starter playing 40 minutes.

    If there were a stat for weight age of minute player by a team I would be interested in that.

    20 year old Bronny playing a couple minutes this season shouldn't count the same as his 40 year old dad playing 35mpg.

    This is one of those games I'm 100% ok with us going all out to win. OKC is likely the best team in the league.

    Interested to see how our defense looks.

    from BBREF:

    upload_2024-10-31_21-12-23.png

    I think these numbers are generally in flux as players get waived and signed

    besides that, I'm thinking this is not a significant gauge. Like ST implied, if a team has a couple of 19 year olds on the back end of their roster that never play, that skews the team's average age number

    Portland's average age is around 24, but 100 minutes a game are going to 3 players that are 30.6; 26.3; and 25.4. The average age of Portland's starters last night was 26.1. The average age of OKC's starters is 23.7

    which demonstrates that teams can be very young and still be very good. Like OKC; or Orlando, or Houston; or Memphis. Portland is not like those teams

    Probably a better reference than the one I used.

    This is a must lose. Falling to 2-4 will put us in prime lotto territory.

    Mrs. Ironman always sleeps on the right side so I'm usually on the wrong side.
