Any Hart/Nurk updates? This team doesnt need any more injuries.

Fucking ESPN..... Dame drops 60 and he's not even in their top stories.

You have to scroll way the fuck down.

The entire NBA community constantly disrespects us, we’re not even important enough for them to hate us, we’re completely irrelevant to them.

Dame has played his entire life with a huge chip on his shoulder, Portland is the perfect city for him. The sooner everyone in the organisation adopts his attitude, from players, to non playing staff, to fans, the better.

Not as big a deal as it used to be. Luka had 60/21/10 in a game this season. Mitchell had 71.

Tbf Mitchell's 71 would have been a HUGE deal had the Hamlin thing not happened the same night around the same time.

We do. I think you get Toronto on board now for a trade of Ant, Nurk and as many firsts as it needs to be for Siakam. Then you trade Hart and/or Justise for a new starting C. I know that Orlando wants to unload Bamba. I think we could just sign Trey Burke to be our backup PG.

We need to sell out now to get a team in place that can contend. We do that by getting Dame another all star level player and at the same time starting Shae for the rest of the season getting him as much experience as possible by the playoffs.

I would do that easily

He's one of only three guys in league history with 4 or more 60 point games. That's crazy to be one of three on an all time list like that. With Wilt and Kobe!

Thats an amazing stat to have.. impressive
 
We could win 3 and NO could lose 3 but it wouldn’t mean we’d be 4th. Understand, Strenuus?

no, the Blazers would not be in 4th unless a lot of other teams lost 3. But Portland would be ahead of N.O. because of the tie-breaker

Reminder: 7 teams between us and 4th. We have to pass all of them. Not the same as being 5th and 2.5 out of 4th.

Yep. long season. Nothing to be worried about at all. So many games left. Thanks for confirming what I said. :)

I heard all the other teams in the West are trash. Can't recall the source.

Minnesota is kinda the mmmmaybe decent team? They get KAT back and trade D'Angelo Brussel sprouts, they could be legit

You mean would NOT be in 4th right?

At one point Phoenix was #1. And we caught them at one point but we were at 10th and they were at 11th.

also- these teams are playing each other so there are guaranteed wins for the teams in front of us. Phoenix and Dallas play each other tomorrow but we need them both to lose.

We don't need them both to lose tomorrow. Such a long season. Everything is still really close. Enjoy the LONG season!

Usually need a top 3 seed to win a title. Nothing to worry about? You see us passing 10 teams all of the sudden in April. Of course, if all you care about is getting into the play-in, then yes, there’s nothing to worry about. We’re in the mix.
 
Very happy there's so many games left! So close, we don't absolutely need teams to lose yet if they play each other! We're in such a good spot there's no reason to complain!

Wooooo!!!!

We’ve flown 7 games past the halfway point (Utah is 10 past) and we’re 12th. But Dallas/Phoenix is an example of what we’re up against going forward. These teams play each other. NOW is the time for a long win streak that gets us to at least 6th and creates a cushion. Can’t wait til April or even March to do that. If two OTHER teams pull away now, we are cooked. And we’re in a long stretch of home games. Sorry but they are must-win. Can’t make up a hole two months from now. We’ll be relying on others helping us instead of us helping ourselves.

Of course not. I bought it for myself. I’ve never made an NBA futures bet in Vegas before.

Only 34 more games left. And only 23 wins. We have to go 30-4 the rest of the way to match the Warriors last season. So if we lose 4 games in February, are you saying, it’s fine because we’re going to win out? What about establishing habits? You can’t win a title without establishing winning habits over the course of a whole season.

The Warriors and even the Lakers have winning experience. We do not.
 
Utah threw a double team on Dame in the 4th. It was like now ??!, really Utah? dude has 50 and then you double team him
