Exclusive Official Around the NBA: November 2022

[blazerkor]

I wanted to be able to vote for two teams: us and the Jazz but when my hand was forced I went with the Jazz because I thought they were trying to lose and I knew we were going to be trying to win.

I do want to go on record saying that I predicted we would win 2 of our first 10 games. I had us either beating the Kings or Lakers and definitely beating the Rockets. Boy did I underestimate this team but us winning some games isn't as shocking as the Jazz doing the same thing when everyone thought they were in tank mode.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Spurs are for real. Keldon Johnson might make the All Star team.

I picked the Jazz. Not surprised with Blazers. Look up the predictions thread. I had us getting #1 seed. How about the 3-3 OKC team? They’re ahead of the Warriors, the biggest disappointment in the NBA.

Over/under 1 month before 2 of these 3 teams will be called trash?

Going back to Hawaii next week to run it back.

Dirty little varmint.

The Lakers better keep their picks, but I would love for them to trade em

Is Dennis Schroeder back yet? My bet is that team plays much better after he returns.

Can’t play worse.

Well, ya know.... I start to twitch if I go too long without kalua pork. And the joint down the street has bomb prime rib dinners every Thursday night!

But it's when we have weather like we've had here, and I look at my Ring camera on the house and see it's bright and sunny.....

 

[THE HCP]

Hold on, how does this work? So the Lakers beat the Nuggets, but they are both "trash" right ?

The Heat beat us, split with the Raptors, and lost to the Bulls, Celts, Kings and Warriors.

So the Heat must be great, the Raptors equal to them, and the other 4 teams must be super great! Or maybe it means the Blazers are trash? I get so confused!

Or it means the Heat weren't as good as they appeared to be against us.

 

[blazerfan11]

San Antonio should be on that list too. If you look at Utah's roster on paper it doesn't look bad.

All NBA teams that aren't the Blazers are trash.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

All NBA teams that aren't the Blazers are trash.

And players that don’t play for the Blazers stink!

 

[THE HCP]

But wait, what about tonight when the Jazz play the Grizz? Is the loser "trash"?

 

[THE HCP]

Or it means the Heat weren't as good as they appeared to be against us.

No, they're good. Because they stomped us and we are the best. That's how we do it right?

 

[THE HCP]

Or did WE lose to a "trash" team?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

The Heat beat us, split with the Raptors, and lost to the Bulls, Celts, Kings and Warriors.

The Heat only beat us because Dame got hurt mid game without any chance to adjust. We were only down 9 when Dame went down. The way we had been playing this season, we likely would have won.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

And players that don’t play for the Blazers stink!

Except for Curry who, you gotta admit, has game.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Now now… I happen to know I can find a post somewhere that was written by someone we both know that says “Curry is Trash”.

cant really argue with this one. If Dame doesn't get hurt, I give it 50/50 we pull that one out.

 

[Chris Craig]

No, they're good. Because they stomped us and we are the best. That's how we do it right?

We are the best...in the west and the second best overall. Will that sustain as the season goes on? We will see.

 

[MickZagger]

They’re dog water. But, I didn’t think they’d go 0-82.

 

[THE HCP]

We are the best....

You lost me right here.

“But…but we’re at the top of the standings”

Save it!

 

[Chris Craig]

We are at the top and that makes us the best for the time being. Again, will it stay that way? Who knows?

 

[THE HCP]

You’ve slipped man. Sliding into that JinxSpeed territory for some reason.
