that 1-6 road trip after 7 & 8 game losing streaks pretty much squandered any chance for Blazers playoffs. Plus... Cronin is the tankiest tanking manager i've ever seen in the NBA. I have no doubt Joe has fishing poles lined up for the good Blazers by the time March comes around.
LOL...so....you had to go back 30 years and point to a team that had a HOF-top-50 player while being 7 games under .500 with 43 games left in the season and compare that team to a Blazer team that is 18 games under .500 with 34 games left and say "see...it's happened before!" stop digging, the hole is deep enough
After 39 games, the Blazers this year were *19* games under .500. The last time they were only 7 games under .500 was after 19 games. And theyre 9 games behind the 10th team. Nothing wrong with being optimistic, but at least be realistic.
Just a few years ago, Miami Heat started 11-30 and finished 41-41. With D Waiters as their best player. Nurk Fever went 18-4. DominAyton going 25-9!
Also- yes, Pacers were 7 games under .500 but they climbed to 4 or 5 seed, I believe. We only need to get to 10 seed,
Not true. Blazers are currently only 8 games below the 10 seeded Jazz. Only 7 games behind in the loss column.
Kingspeed your crazy if you think the Blazers will make the play in -- not going to happen and I hope they do not cause they need more pieces ( draft picks Etc ) not play in / playoff games and that is a fact. Also in doing so would make that idiot GM of ours think he did the right thing when he screwed over Dame and lied to him instead of just being a man and saying it was time to move on.
