Clippers are far better.

Everyones been blowing out utah.

I bet the Blazers couldn't.

[tlongII]

Anybody see the travel by LeBron that wasn't called last night? I don't know how the refs can sleep at night when they don't call that shit.

They are up there for sure. Them, Clippers and Bucks are favorites to win it, followed by Raptors, Sixers, Nuggets and Celtics being a move or further development of their young guys away from contending. Cannot look past an LA team against Bucks for the Finals though, barring injuries.

 

[THE HCP]

Since the Lakers are our opponent next game, are we allowed to talk about them now?

I think most people had the Lakers as the best team in the regular season, because the Clippers didn't have PG to start the year and plan to rest Kawhi like 2 games out of 3 until the playoffs. They have gelled pretty quickly, though - normally it takes LeBron a bit longer to get used to his celebrity sidekick du jour.

I'm not so sure about that. I swore there were people on here in the predictions thread that thought WE would finish higher than the Lakers.

just as long as you say suck as the first word after saying Lakers

Very well having been highly compensated for pushing the leagues agenda.

Lakers suck the will to live out of all Blazers fans.....

The refs sure didn't.

it didn't gain the Lakers any advantage so there's that

on the other hand, not only was it beyond blatant, it made it look like Lebron was having a senior moment. If it makes it to Shaqtin a fool, would it be because of Lebron or the three blind mice?

That was some high class hilarity.

The only person allowed to praise the Lakers is me. Not you. And I hate them. So, it won't happen.

See? It's logical.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

The Rockets........I swear this man, this fucking team.

It doesn't matter, since the Clippers are winning it all, right? That is what you said....

No

Now even THE HCP knows THIS is bad......

 

[DDolla]

They really need another PF

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Lets give em Tolliver for Randle!
Yes I know that doesnt work in the cap...

 

[hoopsjock]

I wouldn't do that trade. Randle is not a good player if you want to win games.

 

[blazerfan11]

Now even THE HCP knows THIS is bad......

The numbers were 7 - 27 (0 - 6 on 3-point attempts) for 19 points vs the Raptors and 7 - 30 (1 - 6 on 3 point attempts) also for 19 points vs the Spurs. Mind boggling.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I wouldn't do that trade. Randle is not a good player if you want to win games.

Just because he’s never been on a good team doesnt mean he couldnt figure out how to fit in on a team thats winning.

 

[hoopsjock]

Just because he’s never been on a good team doesnt mean he couldnt figure out how to fit in on a team thats winning.

I believe that his style of play directly leads to his teams not being able to win. He'd be an awful fit on this roster.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

He’d be by far their best option on the bench though, if Tolliver for Randle could happen (I know it cant), they’d finally have someone on the bench who could score.

and do you want to pay him another 19 mil next yr? Didn't think so
