Game Thread GAME# 11: BUCKS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 6, 2018 - TUESDAY, 7:00 (PST), NBCSNW

So 29 out of 30 NBA teams are not for real?

Just cancel the fucking league then.

 

They can say that about every team in the west..... except for one.

Edit: Yeah what BBert said. He beat me by a few seconds....

 

They said we’re not a top tier in the West team.

 

Did they say who they thought was? Because although I am not sold on the Blazers just yet, I am not sold on anyone else either. (Besides GS)

 

By the way, we’re the only team in the league that is Top 3 in both Ortg and Drtg. If you’re wondering, GS is 10th in Drtg.

 

Tip for all the young guys: Take the over on the Blazers every single year; retire at 50.

You're welcome.

 

LOL nice.

 

BNM

 

Tell me about it. We were down 3 with 15 seconds a couple weeks ago and I got fouled while inbounding the ball (I tried to throw long and the dude completely whacked my arm) They freaked out when I said that's a technical.

 

Lol oh ok. So will every other team except one. Do you they mean first round exit? I think that depends on matchup. Take last year for example. If we play the Thunder, do we still get swept? It would’ve been more likely that we sweep them.

If we play the pelicans again, I see the same issues, but I don’t think we’d get swept. But they’re the only team outside of golden state I don’t feel confident in facing. Maybe Utah if they get their shit together.

 

Every post I read on other other boards or here from podcasts is, "They made the third seed last year and got swept. And they'll get swept again."
You'd think no team in NBA history didn't live up to postseason expectations and got better the next year.

I would almost have to admit that Bones was right and WE ARE being disrespected. But don't worry I will never let him see that..... OH SHIT. AM I TYPING?!!

 

Took the 'Over' on a trip to Vegas a couple of months ago. They just need to go 34-37 the rest of the way.

 

AND?

 

The ducking Starters!?! That’s explains everything.

 

So they probably will have a hard time guarding us? Just a thought?

 

We just got to get out of the first round. Regular season success doesn’t mean anything really. Shit last year we were the 3rd seed and even won 13 in a row. So I can see why others might not sweat the successful season we are having so far..

 

1, Nurk
2. Aminu
3. McCollum
4. Zach

2017 RPM: Aminu +2.0, Nurk +1.8, C.J. -0.3, Zack -3.7
2016 RPM: Aminu +1.3, C.J. +1.1
2015 RPM: Aminu +1.7, C.J. +2.2
2014 RPM: Aminu +2.7, C.J. +1.4

Aminu is by far the most underrated Blazer. Aminu is better than last year's Nurk, but Nurk looks much improved offensively this year.

Zach may well surpass them all. But he did suck last year in spite of looking smooth at times. That's not a knock, he was 19 years old.

 

I didn't mind at first either. But look at Houston. They suck ass right now but people still say the organization is one of the best hands down. They get the benefit of the doubt despite making some bad moves this off season. There are still criticized within reason. Yet we have a first round loss and that DEFINES us, going forward. Is there nothing we can do during the regular season shows we are for real, what is our tape measure.... BEATING GOLDEN STATE? I just don't like being minimized like that.

 

Our tape measure is to get out the 1st round
