The worst has arrived. Odds of a bad pick Still not good enough to even be 10th in the conference. Absolute purgatory.
I could understand that argument if the didn't end the season, after January, as one of the top 6 defensive teams. I could understand this pessimism if Toumani hadn't been as good as he is, or Deni hadn't had a historic run since March, or Shaedon didn't show a LOT of growth in the last 3 months, or that Clingan wasn't showing signs. You're telling me this team, with more growth and another lotto pick (even if it's not top 6) is incapable of improving and moving up into the playoffs next year?
I think this is where most fans here are divided. Group A is excited about the playoffs. They are happy their team makes the playoffs even when there is no chance of competing for a title Group B wants a fucking championship. They don’t give a fuck about just making the playoffs and view it as purgatory Both groups want the Blazers to win
Its only possible if the pieces we trade away for ant and grant are immediate contributors. Otherwise, no.
Not true at all. Some group A people root for losses for better playoff scenarios. The war is bigger than the battle
