"We can beat any team in a seven game series..."

He's actually supposed to say nothing on the subject IMO in this sensitive trading time frame. If he wants to offer KP his opinions in private by all means, but button it up and leg KP be the GM.

 

Well, Roy is kidding himself by saying we can beat any team in the West esepcially without centers. It is great he is trying to provide a positive vibe, but this team, as is this season, cannot beat the Lakers, Nuggets, most likely the Jazz, and I still would take the Mavericks over us especially now they apparently have Caron and Haywood.

Edit: The Spurs could be tough too. Although, we have rocked them the last 5 games or something. We could beat them in a series, but we could also lose IMO.

 

Portland could potentially beat the Spurs in a 7 game series.

They wouldn't have a prayer against any of the other teams in the west.

More and more teams are realizing that Portland has next to no defense in the paint and are expoiting that over and over again. In a 7 game series the other team would make adjustments to get into the paint more and more. In the meantime there isn't a single thing Portland could really do to stop them.

The Blazers won't get swept but they sure as hell are beating any of the top teams in the west 4 times out of 7 games.

 

You are so right, absolutely correct in your astute conclusion that boredom would prevail were we all to be in absolute agreement. In fact I was about to post the exact same thing, word for word. It's uncanny how much we think alike, you must be clairvoyant. Great minds think alike...
