So you're just looking at the win/loss record? What if they were 3-1 , they'd be good?

I didn't say they were bad. I just said they weren't as good as the Blazers made them look last night.

Why aren't they that good? They were a bucket away from reaching the finals. Their losses this season have been to the last three franchises besides themselves to make the finals in the East. They very well may be precisely as good as they looked last night.

They lost some pieces from that team. They are good. Just not as good as they were made to look last night. The Blazers had the worst game they could have. It made the Heat look that much better. We didn't see the Blazers team from the first four games. There was no fight and no energy. It will be a different game next time the two meet in a few weeks.

If you want to believe they are that good and the Blazers that bad. Go ahead.

How so? I'm not saying they are trash or that they are even bad. I'm not saying anything unrealistic.

I said nothing about the Blazers being bad.
 
Flat out, the Blazers lost to a MORE talented team last night. That’s OK to admit. Just like we will win tomorrow against a LESS talented team.

I don’t agree they are more talented, but they are currently the better team.

I thought WE looked a little flat last night but sometimes a better team will make you look that way. At this point of the season it's really hard to say just how good either team is and if last night was indicative of a bad performance by us or the team coming down to their median performance level. It is a lot easier to know about the Heat who have a much more similar roster to the one we saw last season than we do.

You dont think Butler/Lowry/Bam is a better trio than what we have? I suppose its close but absolutely disputable that they are more talented.

Dame is better than all those guys, but if you add Herro and make it four, it might be Dame 1st then Butler-Bam-Lowry/Herro in 2-5. The only Blazer who might crack that four at this point is Grant. Seeing Ant and Herro on the same floor it looked like Herro is better right now. After that it's a contest between Hart and Martin in the glue-guy/swiss-army-knife roles

I'm including potential here obviously. Of those three only Bam has an upside still perhaps. Whereas Sharpe and Ant still have a **ton** of upside and even Hart is already playing IMO, his best ball ever. Our Bench has more upside etc. Miami is the better team, I don't think they have more talent and to me talent includes upside. Lowry could drop off at any time, and until he exploded against us he sure looked like he was rapidly regressing.

Don't drink the troll juice. ;). They have the players and defense to be a top four in the East again.

The Blazers have arguably as much talent as they do.

You think the Blazers are going to lose by twenty again against them in November?

Il have a better idea after our first road trip to assess. But no, I dont. Do i think we will win? I hope so but doubt it. Will we have Dame?

Its pretty close

I think you're selling some of the Miami players' upside a bit short. Herro is younger than Ant, and is better right now, IMO. Bam is 25, Strus is 26; Martin is 27, and they are all locked into long term deals, unlike Grant and Hart

I think we will be play alot better next time we play them. Yes. We will have Dame
 
Kings over Grizzlies at home tonight?

Kings have not lost by much. They’ve been in it against us, LAC, and GSW.
7pt loss to POR
2pt loss to LAC
5pt loss to GSW

Don’t sleep on the Kings a lot of nights like this, against the toughest/hottest teams. Could help us out by beating the Grizzlies.

Kings 0-3 -4.7 points
Grizzlies 3-1 -5.3 points
 
I want to see Yuta Watanabe get some playing time for the Nets some random night and drop like 30. Just not against us, unless Grant drops 40.

Get your shit straight if you are going to CONTINUOUSLY come at me. I said the #7 pick wouldn’t make an immediate impact. Would the #1 pick, sure why wouldn’t he?
Click to expand...
We didn’t know what pick we were going to get when you said that. You said no rookie would help. We’d have to trade it.

Ludicrous. You’re going on ignore. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Sharpe did have an immediate impact. Game 1 of the season on the road. He was 3-3 on 3-pointers , as many 3-pointers as any other Blazer made, scoring 12 points off the bench in a 7-point victory.
Sharpe was a +8 in that game, second only to Justise Winslow.
