I assume you meant Rozier, and that is beyond ridiculous. Brown still plays a similar amount of minutes. Essentially, your substituting Hayward for Ojeleye and Smart (to some extent) as well as other lesser players (since Boston has many guys with positional versatility, minutes can be attributed in any which way). Kyrie had better stats than Dame last year. Not saying he's better, but he's definitely Dame-level. You seriously don't think there's a big drop off between Kyrie feakin' Irving and Terry freakin' Rozier?! C'mon dude. And excuses don't win games. If Toronto collapses mentally against Cleveland, who's to say they'll be mentally prepared to handle Boston in the ECF?
76ers will make the Eastern conference finals. Celtics will beat the Warriors in the finals Blazers will finish with 53 wins and make the 2nd rnd Lakers will make the playoffs in 7th place with a tie breaker keeping them out of 8th Celtics will finish with a better record than the warriors and therefore have homecourt advantage in the finals Lebron will regret going to Los Angeles and publicly say Portland was his 2nd choice Meyers Leonard will have his best season as a Blazer
We will be 7+ Games under .500 by the all-star break and Dame & CJ will be broken up. If they aren’t, Neil will be fired. Not really unpopular I guess, besides the we suck part.
Well 15 teams had at least one win in the playoffs, Blazers had 0. . I think the Blazers are slightly above average.
I won't go that far. But I will share the unpopular opinion that Meyers will play ~15mpg as Nurk's backup, and will play well enough that teams will be inquiring about his availability at the trade deadline.
I have always loved and respected his game. Even if I disagree with some of his politics at times. I have a good deal of respect for him off the court as well. I don’t want the Lakers to win a game though.
Not to mention that Boston still has Rozier and Brown. How are they not much better when they have those two guys coming off the bench now?
What NBA player at this point doesn’t flop. Sure LBJ has, but the dude is flat out one of the best basketball players I have ever seen (maybe the best).
If 15 teams had at least one Playoff win, and we were not one of them, then that would make us below average.
Dame. LBJ IS a great player. I would just expand upon/edit slightly what u said in the other post; I would say he can play BUT I don't like any of his antics
Fair enough! I wouldn’t be surprised if one could find Dame maybe playing up the contact a bit. I wouldn’t call myself a LBJ fan, he’s just so freaking good and most of the time fun to watch.
