    The Rockets are a borderline professional team. If the Spurs had beaten the Pelicans on the final night of the season, we would've swept the Rockets all four games by double figures.

    It's clear you don't know what trolling is...Oh WAIT! I seem to remember you going to ridiculous extremes, harassing PapaG in an obvious attempt to do nothing other than mock and enrage him. To this day I'm sure it's your most cherished accomplishment. It's really all I know about you as I don't remember any of your other posts, although I read just about everything on this board.

    Kingspeed is a loyal, longtime Blazers fan, and a very knowledgeable one at that. On top of that he has a sense of humor, and all of the emotions required in order to have a sense of humor. I enjoy his posts whether jubilantly optimistic or unnervingly immovable in opinion. I know many others here do also. Many, many times, in the long run he has been proven right.

    ...Choke Harden strikes again, just in time for the most important game of his season/career! The dude has been choking since his ASU days (and probably even earlier, but never knew of him until he was in the "Pac10").

    Can Lebron beat the Warriors? They look unstoppable.

    Probably not. But if one player can change any outcome regardless of people around him it's LeBron. This will be his 5th straight final... Idk if this has been done since Bill Russell was in the league.

    It all comes down to what Kyrie shows up, can Thompson dominate the offensive boards and will JR Smith catch fire for a 7 game streak.

    Jason Terry got that Texas super juice back. That's what happened. Some players just play better for certain teams.

    Blake was okay in the regular season. He did pretty much what he was brought in to do.
    If your just talking playoffs yea he sucked, my god was he terrible, but our whole team save CJ and Leonard really underperformed.

    Terry is averaging 1.5 assists a game over the last 10 and he is playing 24 minutes a game. With Portland he would be averaging about 12 minutes max. I don't understand the love for this guy. But I guess if you miss Mo then running an offense is not exactly a prerequisite for your PGs. Which is fine, nothing wrong with scoring Pgs. Although against GS he is averaging 28 minutes per game and shooting 30% from the field while scoring 6 PPG.

    I don't miss Mo. I don't miss Mo at all. I don't miss Mo even a little bit.

    I missed him in the playoffs but not once in the regular season and I mostly missed him in the playoffs because NO ONE could hit shit the first 3 games and Blake looked like hot garbage. If we had had an semblance of an offense I wouldn't have wanted him at all.
    I try not to be hard on Blake because he was brought in to run the second unit and a bit of the first and by the time the playoffs hit our supposed great depth became not so great with two of the top 6 guys not playing and if our depth had stayed good then Blake would have been great but since it wasn't I wanted a chucker in there, basically someone like CJ became the last few games.
