Grantland's Zach Lowe profiles the Blazers

[blue9]

We just need to "stay connected" and "scrap".

he he.

It's crazy--an analysis of the Blazers that isn't just a massive sunshine-pump, and we "lemmings" aren't lambasting it? Instead, we're actually responding positively to it? What's going on here?!

Because this guy actually writes like he watched this team play. The others threw an article out from their ass and it was obvious that they rarely watched us.

I've basically said the major points in that article numerous times on this board. It doesn't take a Grantland writer to figure it out. Even the Batum stuff I've said, yet I'm just "negative".

Next season the Blazers will be a mediocre/below average defense and an offense that will score pts, with a lot of them coming from 3's. If they can improve in both areas a little bit they have a chance at a lower seed next year, kind of like the 2012-2013 Houston Rockets, the 8th seed last year.

That's your 2013-2014 Portland Trail Blazers.

Not quite...

Those are all false. this guy is a hack, obviously

Those were labeled "Fake Trade Scenarios". He probably got them from the idiocy illustrated on this Blazer board and a few others over the summer.

Very in depth article on the Blazers that I found on ESPN.
Did we discuss this and I missed it? It is from the 27th.

If you have not seen it, I think you will find it interesting.

No doubt. He deserves it for missing that whole thread for two days.
