I don't know... I think the most important stat here was 13-8. That's a .619 winning percentage. Considering the Blazers were without Nicolas Batum...
That's not why I despise the NBA. I can't stand the variety of rules depending on who the player is. That said, I'll address your point - and...
I'm not sure that rebounding is a huge need for this team. The Blazers have a +2.1 rebounds/game differential compared with opponents. That's not as...
Game by game this series, Aldridge scored between 16 and 22 points in four out of six games. The other two, he scored 31 (I'll applaud that...
We could judge Aldridge on his actual numbers, but with the caveat that the sample size is small. I would argue that the sample size is sufficiently...
* = sample size too small for statistically significant evaluation of non-regular season.
How good does the 2nd best player on a championship team have to be? It depends on two things: how good the 1st best player is, and how good the...
I think the entire premise of this thread - that we now know that Aldridge can't be a good #2 option because he was had trouble in this playoff...
Hey let's face it - the Phoenix Suns are the better team. The two teams would be close if the Blazers had Brandon Roy, but in a seven-game series,...
Blazers 101 Suns 98
Without Roy, I just don't see the Blazers winning this series. Playoffs are all about matchups, and where do the Blazers have an advantage?...
I think Pritchard would have still made the trade for Camby if either Oden or Przybilla had been healthy. I think if only Greg had gone down,...
That's great, man. As for how to show your Blazer colors - I say wear a Blazer Pippen jersey, if you've got one (or can find one). Great way to...
Could be the best thing for the team. Now, there's no pressure. Everyone's going to write off the Blazers as having no chance without their best...
I think he was actually telling one of the assistant coaches. I don't think the refs listen to him any more.
Frankly, when I read the full quote, it doesn't bother me as much. "When we lose, I'm like, 'Man, I should've had the ball more,'" Roy said. "But...
The toughest part for me is that I had tickets to two of the NBA Finals games in Portland, if the Blazers had won. Argh.
You mean "new Travis" but I agree. Fun insight. But in answer to your question, no - or at least I hope not, because it would probably only come...
In order of preference: Dallas - far and away my #1 choice. Phoenix - would be great, but the chances are very remote it happens. As for the...
Great, Rudy... if I were Rudy, given the salary cuts that appear to be coming to the NBA, I'd be looking overseas anyway. But it's pretty stupid of...
