    Even though okc has had the lead most the game, you could tell it was only a matter of time until they lost. Fuck Oklahoma.

    Yep, we need that cranky old post man. It's been a Blazer tradition to have one... except this season...

    I miss Kaman

    And I don't even mean a Kaman type. I mean a bruiser for when Nurk sits.

    Ezeli would've been perfect, sadly.

    Tyson Chandler would be a nice addition.

    We got nothing even remotely like them without Nurk.

    Then again, we do have a coach who let Meyers shoot 0-6 from 3 in a real NBA game and continues to let him shoot threes. Nene probably wouldn't even play. (God I hope that isn't true)

    Because the west was weaker this year. The Jazz were not a 51-win team. The Clippers were hurt all year. The Thunder are a one-man show. The Grizzlies? Meh.

    The Spurs aren't even that good. We beat them twice to end the season with one of those games playing scrubs. The goal next year has to be a top 3 seed.

    I agree this is possible. Even with the way we have played against the warriors, I think we would be up 2-1 against everyone in the west besides maybe the spurs. But who knows...

    The real goal should be to stay healthy and see what happens regardless of seed.

    Portland is not built for playoff success. Poor defense, poor shot selection. Poor depth.

    Probably but we also have three draft picks to use to improve the team.

    The real goal is to keep the trio of Dame/CJ/Nurk together as we had a great record when all three were healthy together.

    Yep. Do 3 mid to late picks help us next year, the year after, 2-3 years? Do we trade them for a top rotation player? Doesn't help our depth.

    Will be interesting this offseason
