I'm not sure about that. If we won, I would be happy, and think we got somewhat lucky. Clippers played fantastic defense and their front line dominated us. Even if we won I would have been concerned for the future of this team competing. Blazers looked like a first and out team last night.
They seem better on defense and maybe worse on offense? ... Other than that, there's just not enough data. Give it another month.
I don't think there is any question. Before acquiring Nurkic, we were prime for a top 10 pick and deservedly so. We're so much more balanced now and probably a 6th to 8th seed type team. I think we're in the same boat as the Clippers and Bucks at the moment, which makes those losses so deflating, because if we had thumped them, I'd feel more hopeful we're closer to the 3rd to 5th seed tier. Not yet, apparently. Right now, I think we're similar, performance wise, to the last year with Aldridge on the team.
The Clippers game was the first I watched in monthes and it was exceptional. Need to get more fire under our asses to actually win more but I enjoyed it very much
