Why does Portland always play against teams missing players?

Why does Portland always play against teams missing players?

So that way when they beat us in the playoffs it will be hurt more.

 

[Gronk Brady]

I feel if the Blazers can win this game Sunday, that they have turned the corner and shown real growth from last season... let’s hope it’s not the typical let down of the past... beating 2 elite teams like Bucks and Celtics at full health within a week would be fantastic!

 

[Strenuus]

Is Kyrie planning to be there Sunday? He isn't with the team to attend his grandfathers funeral.

Well this is a JINX post if there ever was one.

Yikes that lettering is even more orange than the tire track uniforms. Which are a dark orange, not red, BTW. WTF?

Looks red to me FAMS.

 

[BonesJones]

Not everything is red and orange.

The BIOFREEZE logo totally ruins it for me. It looks so out of place.

I mean look at the GE logo on the Celtics jersey:

Much less offensive. If we have to have corporate logos on NBA jerseys, can they at least not be hideous? Clearly Nike, the branding gods, have given the jersey designers the freedom to match colors with the rest of the jersey. Why can't BIOFREEZE do the same? Make that BIOFREEZE logo red with a gray border and it blends in much better

BNM

You should put some BIOFREEZE on that butthurt !

Is it as tingly as IcyHot?

The stage is set and the suite is full.

Should be a great game.

Why do all these teams get to play against Portland without their starting SF and no one wants to add that to the equation.

Read the subtext my friend.

@HCP - control your rookies.

(That's a joke - don't take it too seriously)

Celtics players has some mental toughness in them. If they get down by 20, you know they will come back. We need to lead by 30 in the last 2 minutes just to make sure.

It's not that it's taken out of the equation. It seems more like it is would be our lowest productive starter (by far) versus players like Harden, AD, Irving, etc. Not exactly an 'apples-to-apples' exchange.

Good teams take advantage of injured teams. Mediocre teams have letdowns against them. I don't think it's lucky for us because if we weren't good, we'd still find a way to lose some of them.

When we get the #1 seed, you can say well, we played injured teams so we're really more of a 6 or 7 seed, and besides we're only 10 games ahead of the 9 seed.

 

[TBpup]

The Blazers had the fortune of playing a lot of teams last year without stars/starters. The took advantage of that to get the #3 seed.....great. That didn't matter in the Playoffs, and that is what matters most.

So then why are we discussing it?

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

With fifteen people going to the Suite game I will finally be able to get in a word tonight.

Go Blazers!
