Again, context and situations. If a young tram makes the playoffs one year but the next is riddled with injuries, then it is more unlikely that experience pays dividends that next season.
I also think you are cherry picking pdx. How about kther teams in the league?
Next few games. Clippers again. Denver and SA all coming up.
Really need to play like this every game moving forward. Build a comfortability with this faster game. Ride it right into the play in and then playoffs.
I might actually agree with you on this. I think we have seen his best. I think the league is catching on to his frt train style of ball and he is going to be getting alot of offensive fouls over the next year. I think he is a 3rd or fourth option on a championship team. Not 1st or 2nd.
As good...
Im just gonna go ahead and trust the plethora of basketball players/coaches and experts who have repeatedly said there is nothing like playoff experience over stats that can be skewed to fit either narrative.
I am sure if we scour the details of each season pointed out, we will find the reasons...
Very important game to win. This one game could tell us alot about our team. We have played down to opponents and played up to contenders. This team is just like us, fighting for a longer life. Will we step up or have another let down? This will be a test of will more than anything else.
For me, yes because those are playoff teams better than us. It’s not that we had a chance to beat Dallas. It was that we actually gave them a chance to win and then let them.
