This team without Murray should tell us a lot about where we're at. If we have Dame and Nurk and beat these guys then we can compete with the bottom rung playoff teams. If we can't beat these guys then we probably won't even make it out of the play-ins if we find ourselves in them.

The truth is that I always want our team to win, so I'll be rooting for them. So, Go Blazers!
 
I wanna see more of that Nas/RHJ pairing. Idk what the numbers were but they made a big impact last night. If Stotts just reverts back to his regular rotation when everyone is healthy tonight imma be heated
 
...was yesterday the vaccination game? Need some crucial intel for betting purposes :devilwink:
 
That starting five comparison screams Blazers win - but at this point I expect nothing good.

denver will pick us apart with their passing and getting good looks

on the other hand, were gonna show them what iso bball is
 
The Thuggets have been playing well without Murray, which surprises me. It will be a good test, but if we have Dame and Nurk we stand a good chance.
 
I just noticed how ugly the nuggets are lolol yikes
 
One on the floor wearing red as well.

Carmelo Anthony.
nuggets gave #15 to jokic, so much for carmelos number getting retired there

i dont think theres love between nuggets and carmelo

Better keep an ice pack handy

What I do know is that every minute he's on the floor he's helping the Nuggets win.

I don't think the Nuggets would trade their starting 3 for ours, their starting 4 for ours, and certainly not our starting 5 for ours. If Murray were healthy, they wouldn't trade their starting 2 for ours either.

That’s not the way it works. Winning a big game in the regular season doesn’t mean you’ll win a big game in the playoffs. Ask the Brooklyn Nets how well they did in playoffs after sweeping champion Heat 4-0 in regular season. All that matters in regular season is that you win as many as you can. There’s no difference between a win over Pistons or a win over the Jazz. Absolutely none.

Thats not how it works either.

You lose a majority of games against good teams (which we have, there is no argument) you suck.

Just face the fact this team sucks against teams they'll face in the playoffs. Don't bring up prior years... I only care about this year's team.

There, now the truth is out there. You're welcome.

Yeah well that’s just like your opinion man

Spurs used to have bad records vs good teams during the championship seasons. They just beat all the bad teams and had below average record vs good teams. Then they beat the teams they had to in playoffs. This is a fact.

If you can’t accept we beat an OKC team that went 4-0 against us , then how can you know how this deeper team will do in this year’s playoffs? Neither of us know for sure but I’m making a point based on history. History matters, esp when predicting future which is all you’re doing.
 
And you’re spoiled , Stren. The Kings suck. The Blazers are a very good team. Facts.
