OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD: November 2019

Theyve only played 4 playoff level teams and are 2-2 against them.

Go read Bleacher Report, they got you covered.

 

I think thats right, I thought it was 5, but their schedule has not been tough...

 

Not currently, because Phoenix isnt making the playoffs.

 

Some teams can’t even beat non playoffs teams lmao

 

Harden is so talented not only is he a perennial MVP candidate, he's also a perennial MOF winner. MOF is of course, Most Obnoxious Flopper, although MOF might be able to be plugged into other phrases

 

Jazz, Heat (I think they'll be a playoff team...), LAC, Mavericks, Nets. Though if you wanted to argue the nets aren't a playoff team I'd probably agree with you.

 

Mavericks + Nets equal 1 playoff team IMO.

 

They are 17-2. They, like every team play the schedule they are handed. They have the best record in the NBA.
Not sure what the 2nd line means, is this an attempted crack aimed my way?

 

But theyre not 17-2 without playing that schedule. Theyre overrated at the moment.

BR covers the Lakers more than the rest of the NBA.

 

I don’t really look at who has played who and when. They have played their schedule the league gave them, and have the best record in the league, point blank. We have played a ton of garbage teams and lost. That doesn’t hold much weight with me either. Some teams play teams missing their stars, some don’t....all that stuff just happens. We travel more than anybody, doesn’t matter. Part of the marathon that is the season.
In my opinion, you can only go off wins and losses......your record. That’s all I’m saying. Surprised there isn’t much talk about the team with the BEST record.

 

There's not much talk about the Lakers in S2 because everywhere else on the planet it's the only team anybody talks about....they don't need more ink....that and we pretty much hate the Lakers anyway ...they have you to represent and we allow it around here but one is enough!

 

You're the guy whos always saying "Is it just me or do we play a lot of teams with their best player out?"

Naturally, playing an easier schedule will lead to a better record compared to a harder schedule. Are you arguing that or not?

Also, this is a Blazer forum.

 

Me commenting on us playing against teams missing stars goes back 10 years mocking an old member......... and this is the AROUND THE NBA THREAD.

 

You expect Blazer fans to want to talk at length about the Lakers being 17-2 and youre surprised when they dont?

 

I think HCP is merely pointing out the hate that flows through us about the lakers.... In his own special way.

Cause hes our own special person.

 

I think he’s rubbing it in our faces that the Lakers are having a better year than the Blazers fo far.

 

Chief out indefinitely with a torn meniscus.....Orlando paid him just under 30 mil to sign there....we dodged a bullet. I wish Chief well and a speedy recovery
