And he is energizing the offense AND defense. He brings a sense of security and expectation to the game by making random positive plays for his team when least expected. Also he is looking to become an unstoppable scoring machine for his team. The future looks bright with Collins in the mix
Every team has the same salary cap at $100M. Once a team goes over that amount, their flexibility to make moves begins to be reduced. The luxury tax begins at $119M. Once a team exceeds that value, the limitations to improve the team are even more strict. On top of that, there are significant penalties for being over the luxury tax threashold. The luxury tax penalties are exponential based on how fare above the luxury tax line and for how many years a team has been above the line.
lol thx now I know what a great victory that team had! Maybe Portland can win that too in my life time.
Blazers have the second longest winning streak among Western Conference playoff teams. Are we headed for a WCF showdown with Warriors?? Third playoff meeting in three years?
So did my bitch about the forum rub off on the team to play better? Maybe they read what I said and wanted to prove me right. A positive mental attitude goes a long way!
Blazers are a solid 5th seed in the west after beating the Spurs and Thunder back to back....this is looking a lot better
If the Blazers can sustain anything close to this top-five defense, I think they definitely have the potential to be a serious post-season threat. They'll need McCollum to recapture last year's form, but he and Lillard can carry an offense. Just not enough to overcome a terrible defense, as they had in previous years.
