If Nurk is out half the season, that win total looks about right

So they didn't just make the WCF without him? Sure, they will miss him a lot but they could still be a good team. A 45 win team doesn't beat OKC and Denver this year.

Guys really stepped up, Kanter especially. That’s why with he, Hood and Curry most likely gone, I think we win around 45 games.

Over is easy money then if you're guessing 45.

58-win season coming.

Next season we start Meyers at Center (as in WCF Game 4) and Zach at Forward featuring the high post, enhanced PNRs and PNPs, improved passing and ball movement, 15 swish3s per game scoring, and have a 54-28 season record on the way to the 2020 NBA Championship!

why not 74-8? Meyers will help us break one more record

Highest scoring duos in single playoff history...

LeBron & Wade (2012) - 1,222 PTS
Kawhi & Pascal (2019) - 1,187 PTS
Jordan & Pippen (1992) - 1,187 PTS
Olajuwon & Drexler (1995) - 1,175 PTS
Shaw & Kobe (2000) - 1,172 PTS

Please tell me #5 should be Shaq, not Shaw? I don't remember Brian Shaw being a big time scorer...

And then AD and his agent forced his way to LA, so it's fucked again!

Past history indicates that we are fine with a 54 win season (a new Blazer record) which will be at least a 3 or 4 seed in the Western Conference Playoffs, on the way to winning the 2020 NBA Championship!

Past history shows it's better to be 1 or 2 seed than 3 or 4.

Yes, getting the 1 or 2 seed is even better, and may be in reach. I agree. But it may take more than 60 wins, which would be fun. Let's look for an optimized record on the way to Championship!

Toronto city officials are expecting 2-million people to line the streets for the parade from Exhibition Place to Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto tomorrow.

Small market...

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Small market...

Yeah this weird, Toronto won for the small market crowd is so offbase, Toronto is not a small market...

 

[illmatic99]

Ah shit. They said they had nearly 4 million people there. I had a bad feeling security wasn't ready for this.

Past history shows the team with the better players wins in a best-of-7 series.

Toronto would be more likely to visit their prime minister.

I will never like Warriors, but they took full page ad in Toronto paper congratulating Raptors. That was nice.

I don't like the Warriors either, but KD and Klay showed a lot of guts playing with their injuries. I respect that.
