OT Here's Our Schedule

Agreed. However Ariza is (was) our best perimeter defender.

True, but I think Trent & Little can both be brought in to add defensive pressure at the SF spot if needed.

Yes. From May 2012 to present, the Lakers haven’t won a single playoff game. Blazers have won 19 playoff games in that time.

Take a deep breath and REALLY think about it...... do you want to start comparing playoff success with our hated rivals to the south. Now THINK first before you type.

 

[THE HCP]

We've got everybody back except Hood and that's all I need to know. We can compete with anyone.

Ariza left. Who is going to play his minutes? This ought to be fantastic if you dare say Mario. Even Trent can't bring what he was bringing to be honest.

Probably Melo. So the question is really, how much better was an Ariza/Melo forward pairing than a Melo/Collins pairing will be? And how much better is Nurk than the guys who were backing up Melo/Whiteside (Swanigan, Hoard, Gabriel)?

Our additions are probably a tad better than our subtractions.

Tad? Im thinking, somewhat significantly. Its a fact. your wrong, btw!
