I appreciate that. I agree that the Blazers all of a sudden have a top 10 player in the league in LaMarcus Aldridge, in his prime. I'm not...
The turnovers are a recent phenomenon, and I think they require attention in practice. Teams are starting to watch film of the Blazers and have...
I was with you, up to this point. While I agree that it was an "important" lesson to learn, I agree more with BBert, that for the lesson to really...
I'm surprised more teams don't accomplish this. Not to be too "glass half-empty," but isn't "beating every team in the league" the equivalent of just...
Obviously, Lillard was huge in this one. Robin Lopez played a heckuva game, too, against his old team. I'd give props on this night, though to...
Pardon me, looks like I'm the dense one. I was assuming that the Divisional column was meant to be the first round odds. Of course, the chances of...
Interesting that the Blazers are basically a lock to make the playoffs, but have less than a 1-in-3 chance to make it out of the first round....
Re: Blazers/Piston Predictions Blazers 110 Detroit 102
I was about to start a thread not too different from this. Mostly, I am so impressed with the way the Blazers and Pacers are bucking the Miami...
Love that. Especially this: "You got two days off before Boston on Tuesday. Don't take it for granted. Can I suggest, GAME FILM? Seriously,...
The Blazers are 17-4 as of this afternoon. 21 games is just over 1/4 of the way through the regular season (25.6% of the way, to be exact). If...
It's too early in the season. As far as the casual sports fan goes, it's still football season. Some of that will change in January, after the bowl...
Exactly. The '99 team couldn't stay together the way it was. Three starter-worthy players at shooting guard in Rider, Jackson, and Bonzi? Not going...
I was somewhat skeptical of that comparison, and I'm not sure it entirely fits now, either. But now I feel that way because the current team as it's...

Aldridge & Lillard are averaging right around 37 minutes a game, according to nba.com. It's the 12th and 13th most minutes in the league - meaning...
Most importantly, the team as a whole is 8-2. Going .800 over the first ten games of the regular season is pretty awesome for a team that completely...
My sentiments exactly. To underscore your point: the Suns' starters outscored the Blazers' starters 57-55, which means the Blazers bench had to...
I hope he can be more of a team player than Ruben Patterson was. Patterson was the original "black hole" on offense. Balls went in, they never came...
Lillard can get into "good scoring position" quite easily - thanks to his range extending out about four feet past the three-point line. What I...
