Next Years Standings in West

[Gronk Brady]

Teams firmly ahead of Blazers:
Warriors
Rockets
Pelicans
Jazz
Lakers

Teams Probably ahead of Blazers:
T-Wolves
OKC

Same Level:
Spurs
Nuggets
Mavs

It might be time to rebuild... get as much young talent from Dame and CJ as possible for the Zach Collins era... there is just no realistic path forward and other team will only keep getting better over the next couple years while Blazers stayv the same or get worse

 

[TBpup]

Portland is still ahead of the Mavs....but the point is still valid especially for the teams in front of them. A healthy Butler probably has the TWolves ahead of the Blazers. Not sure if OKC is better or not just because....Westbrook.

Still, I don't see them getting HCA this coming season without a lot more injury help like last year.

Bro, I know the roster isn't finalized, but have you seen our bench?????

 

[Labinot41]

It's definetly Time to blow it up. Everything else is meaningless. We are a 1st round Exit Team, IF we make the Playoffs at all

 

[Chris Craig]

Yes, the Lakers bench is not impressive

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Yes, the Lakers bench is not impressive

Is the Blazers bench impressive?

Time for you to move on to your own forum.

Is the Blazers bench impressive?

No, but @HCP doesn't get to say our team anymore. Not after today

I have a Blazers tattoo and you don't, I can do what I want FAMS!

 

[BlayZa]

phoenix could be interesting next season as well.

Cause they got Ariza?

No....and neither has anyone else watching an NBA game recently.

Can't wait for ABC/ESPN to shove the Lakers and Celtics in our faces as much as scheduling will allow.

HCP is the hood ornament of S2. He leads us, though he has no sense of direction.

 

[Lanny]

Rook...How do I put this nicely. Shut the fuck up. HCP is the hood ornament of S2. He leads us, though he has no sense of direction.

Tykendo is a good poster. Please don't demean him in that way.

 

[James lamphear]

I will wait on the final rosters for my prediction.

 

[BlayZa]

Cause they got Ariza?

Ayton moreso, but yeah, i think that will help, but they seem like they grossly underperformed last season, and they are mostly young guys that are growing together. tbh i like seeing those type of teams happen. it may not, but they should do noticeably better than last season.

Ayton, Booker, Ariza, Bridges, Payton, Zhaire Smith, Josh Jackson - should be fun to watch

 

[LayneStaley]

As I’ve been saying for months, blow this mess up. Let’s grab a couple lottery picks before we get some of the pukes off the books. Why wait?

 

[THE HCP]

Tykendo is a good poster.

LINK?

 

[Lanny]

LINK?

Don't need a link for common knowledge.

Also, you have my word. I've known him for a long time. I'd trust him to return my wallet should it ever fall out of my pocket, same goes for Marzy and Sly not to mention Hobbes and HomerLovesKoolaid. Also include hoopsjock and several others on that list.

 

[CupWizier]

Cause they got Ariza?

lol, Ariza is Harkless old. If given a choice now, I'd stick with Harkless over Ariza as his game is fading quick and he won't have the supporting cast he had at Houston.

 

[KingSpeed]

We went through this last summer. Everybody bemoaned Denver, Minnesota, and OKC had passed us and we still won the division.

Holy injuries! And by two games! Not comforting!

The Jazz and Pelicans have done nothing to put them firmly ahead of us in the standings for the upcoming season. OKC and the Wolves are behind us like they were last season. I'm not saying that we couldn't use a couple moves (one of which would move CJ for a better fit with Dame) to maximize this roster but I think this sky is falling thread is pathetic

 

[TBpup]

If Gobert and Butler are healthy, the Jazz and the Wolves finish ahead of the Blazers last year.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

If Gobert and Butler are healthy, the Jazz and the Wives finish ahead of the Blazers last year.

Oh come on, the Jazz maybe but not their wives.

 

[TBpup]

On NBA.com earlier this morning, 4 of the first 5 stories were on the Lakers. They are going to be insufferable this year.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

13 of this year's All-NBA 15 are now in the West
There are no active MVP winners in the East

 

[andalusian]

Oh come on, the Jazz maybe but not their wives.

The real wives of Salt Lake City. The good news, the producers can procure the participants from one household.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

We are gonna finish 8-10.

With one of the most expensive rosters in the league.

No hope.
