OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: MARCH 2023

And are still better than us

 

Yeah I really am shocked. They have talent. You would absolutely think they could win some games? Perplexing?

 

apparently, you believe I'm saying the Blazers don't suck. They do and I've said that plenty. But the Clippers and Pels suck too. The Blazers are 4 games under .500; Pels are 2 games under .500; Clips are at .500. You seem to think that gradients of suckitude make a difference. They don't by the way

none of the teams appear to have a reasonable formula for success and all three may be locked into mediocrity for different reasons. If there is any 'better' situation among the three, it may be Portland

 

The thing with the Clippers is, if they were all healthy, could make a run. The Blazers if healthy still aren't very good.

 

they have had a lot of roster & rotation churn as Ballmer keeps channeling Whitsitt. That probably hasn't helped. They are on a 5 game losing streak and in the west that's the difference between the 4th seed and the 8th seed....and Zubac has missed 4 of the 5 games. Their defense is decent or at least average, but their offense is below average and they have a negative differential. That's never good and it's usually a bad indicator for the near future. And I'd wonder, judging by stats and what I've seen, if both Kawhi and PG13 have faded a bit because of accumulated injuries

they could easily surprise somebody in the playoffs, but right now they are in the play-in as 8th seed and that's a dangerous position to be in as they found out last year

 

Not a good look for Ja.

 

considering his recent history, it's a terrible look that really brings into question his judgement and character

 

Guy is an idiot. Keeps on doing stupid shit.

beats up a 17 year old, his posse shines laser sights on Pacers staff, his mom gets in an argument at the mall with a finish line employee and he threatens to beat up mall security and now this.

All comes to light in the past couple months.

 

Grizzlies suspending Morant while they investigate the gun situation. Good on them.

 

Grizzlies deserve all of the bad press they are getting. If they don't take care of business, they could become the new Jailblazers.

 

Sounds like he came from a good home, too, but he’s surrounded himself with the wrong people.

It’s easy to forget how many people try to attach themselves to these players. Cousins, second cousins, high school friends, uncles, etc. Half of the battle is having the right ‘team’ that is giving you good advice, so to speak.

 

So glad the face of our franchise is Dame instead of a fool like Ja.

 

Stuck on the tarmac on our “off-day”

 

Yeah I always felt like ZBo was a good guy who surrounded himself with shady folks.

But I think even he was smart enough not to post a video of himself flashing a gun on social media.
