Game Thread 2022-23 Game #3 - BLAZERS @ LAKERS - OCTOBER 23, 2022 - SUNDAY - 12:30 PM (PDT) ROOT

C'mon losers, Dame is DONE. Forty-one points in each of the last two games? FOOL'S GOLD.

We'd be lucky to get a 2nd rounder for him. Just to get him off the roster would be worth it. <<running away quickly>>

 

I'm really happy to be on the wrong side of this discussion.
However. I'm going to stick with my prediction of 41-41 at this point and am going to stay with what i felt would be a great start at 10-10. This team could very easily be 0-3 right now as well and we all know it.
Yes i have thoroughly enjoyed the start of the season.

 

wow, just reviewed the box score and saw Hart has 16 rebounds! what a fukkin stud

 

Russ Westbrook with the Lakers feels like the Blazers with Raymond Felton.

 

Okay but we can both agree that the season isn't/wasn't over, right? You really had a problem with me saying that.

 

Holy crap.

 

Sure. Season is still a long ways from over.
And can we both agree you won't post a prediction? I mean that was what most of that conversation was about right?
It's pretty easy to be right when you won't even put a prediction in writing. Mine is there for all to read.

 

Wheels will always be a legend. Also, how many years before I'm not 'This new dude' anymore

 

until the next guy comes in

you must realize, i used to sneak a radio under my sheets to listen to wheels/rice cuz i couldn't watch all the non-KGW games when my folks were yelling at me to sleep. i grew up on that stuff.

 

Fair enough. I'll never question anyone's love for Wheels. He's one of a kind

 

It's not about being right or wrong. The conversation was you giving me crap for saying the season isn't over before it started. People like you weren't even giving this team a chance. Then when I responded about how ridiculous that was, you pivoted to obsessing over my "prediction" while saying you knew everything you needed to know because I didn't respond instantly.

I don't follow your orders. And if you know me you know I'm completely unafraid to state my predictions, but now I don't need to put them in writing.

 

Thank you so much! I'm glad we can make you proud because the show truly is a product of the forum!

 

How realistic do you think Vanderbilt to the Blazers is? A Nurk/Vando/Watford C rotation would be crazy imo for not a whole lot going out. Maybe we could get away with 2 2nds? Or maybe Keon and a 2nd?

 

Ainge will hold out for a 1st I think. At the very least would have to be Keon+2nd(s) but I'm not sure Utah would care for Keon.

 

From your responses i can see why you are miserable here?

The Blazers have come out strong and it's obvious they are playing better than many expected at this point. Happy for the team.
I'm sticking to my prediction (for many obvious reasons). I also still see that you don't feel you want to post yours. Nobody ordered you to do anything?
Hope you enjoy the season.

 

On second thought maybe we can just talk hoops.
I have my prediction in place because I have a feeling. I know I know not very scientific.
I just feel Nurk will eventually miss time. That will hurt this team tremendously. It’s even more evident beings Nurk is playing some of the best ball I’ve seen him play in years.
I also feel if any other prices get injured it could really hurt this team as with any team.
Then there is the idea that they are fairly new and have not been fully scouted at this point.
My fail on this might be that they are doing things to win that don’t scout. Hustle and scrap are not so effected by scouting.
They still suffer from a lack of size. This could hurt in the long run?
So many positives though. Seems like Billups and Lillard are making a winner right now.
