Without the Joker and possibly Murry, which accounts for about 51 points per game, the Nuggets will not score their average of about 120 ppg. With that I predict:
BLAZERS 114
NUGGETS 109
This is a game the young ones should practice defensive skills. Double and pressure Alexander the whole game and it might actually be close! Still not a fan of tanking/sitting starters until your are mathematically eliminated. Been with the Blazers since 1970 and the last 2 years of tanking...
Tell ya what...next practice...Nurk, Grant, Sharp and Eubanks should spent the ENTIRE practice shooting free throws. We left 10 points at the line tonight and enough in the 4th alone that we had the victory wrapped up. Ridiculous that professionals shoot such a poor percentage from such a short...
Agree 100% - I have been right there with ya...fan since day 1 in 1970 pretty much and this last stretch by far (sitting Nurk) has been the most miserable, barely watchable unit ever. We were sitting at a play in spot - and if you want to give young guys experience, then get them to at least a...
I don't get most of your logic. You do know to trade CJ for anybody they are going to have to be superior player. If anyone thinks Anfernee is going to fill them shoes, your wrong. The only way a trade makes any sense id if we get a forward who can play outstanding "D" and pop in about 15 ppg...
Hello Forum,
I don't hang out here much for reasons of either disloyalty to the team or expecting a championship every single year. 29 teams every year go home without that ring and many a lot longer then us. People may not believe me but I have been a Blazer fan since year number one and my...
I prefer the old fashioned way. The white jerseys at home and the red or black on the road....and yes, I am old! I also don't mind the rip city jerseys, but that is about it.
peace out,

Look at this. The Blazers have this starting lineup:
Lillard
CJ
Whiteside
Ariza
Mello
You have to admit...that is pretty darn good...right? They have been doing well and a lot better without Bazemore or Mario or even Hood at the staring positions.
Now imagine IF...Nurk comes back and Collins...
I watch every single game and I can truly say Ant's shooting just looks way off...different then it has in the past. It almost seems like he is "chucking" it up instead of getting up good solid squared up shots. I know many people say he is going to be a star...but if something does not change...
I have been around since the Geoff Petrie days (yes...I am old)....I have seen Walton and I have seen the Drexler years. However, there has never in Blazer history that has defined greatness, leadership and being clutch like Mr. Damian Lillard. Not to mention his loyalty to the club and the city...
BTW...I can provide proof of Blazer loyalty probably before most of you were born......and I truly back what I say. Been thought it longer then most realize and I back what I say!
Do you not understand he has different players to adapt to? Listen...I do not want to get into a pissing match with you but come on man....Mario...really? Grant??? They are not Curry or Layman. This is a whole new season and Dame has to adapt. It takes time....and then even then it might not...
You see here Blazer community...it IS people like Blazer1977 who ruins and destroy the core value of what the game is really about. HE boils it down to one person instead of the team. How cruel is that? I can tell ya......LOL This is why I made the original post in the first place...for people...
Mr. Blazers 1977....I wonder what you were saying when dame hit a gaming winning shot over Paul George last season that advanced them to the 2nd round? Or a game winning shot against the Warriors...or the other dozen he has hit???? Seriously...what is your beef? Do you expect him to be a one man...
