Who is currently saying that?

It's been awhile as I remember several posters touting the TWolves when they hired Thibs and several claimed them to be the next up and coming team and surpassing the Blazers. Then they got Jimmy Butler and it started all over again only to finish behind us yet again. We have a fair amount of the grass is greened on the other side types in this forum.

Yep. Everyone in our division gets better and we stay the same, lol.
 
Because this is exactly the same team as last year. :rolleyes3:
Of course it's not exactly the same team, but the main constants are the same. While it isn't all his fault, I'd like to see Dame play better in the playoffs and the same goes for C.J. Can someone other from these two step it up in the playoffs? Kanter? Hood? Layman? Remains to be seen. I still have my doubts with Stotts, but I dunno....am I being unfair?
 
God the Timberwolves are straight ass.
Guess it won't be this year they make the playoffs.
Just like it wasn't the year previous, or the year previous or the year previous or the year previous.
Yet people on this forum keep predicting Portland to fall out of the playoffs and Minn being a lock to get in.
I think everyone stopped saying that once Butler blew that team up.
Also, had Butler been healthy last season it's pretty much a given they would have ended up higher than us in the standings.

If I had a dollar for every time I heard that.

Damn....can you imagine any other ethnicity using that language. The fire storm would be relentless. Just sayin'.....

Slave ships? Damn, he is not happy.
 
The Blazer practice scrimmage's have to be really interesting.
I love to see the rookies going against CJ/Hood/Turner/Curry

Holy fuck. That is so wrong and irresponsible. Some respected public figure needs to call him out on this.
 
So... I had thought I had heard something about the Clippers could eliminate the Lakers from playoff contention when they play.(didn't hear when the game is)

Is this true or was I hearing things?

I think were about 10 games before teams start getting mathematically eliminated but I havent looked recently.

Thank you for answering. I was at work and we can have the radio on but I am moving from place to place and there are other people around me working as well so sometimes I can't hear every segment.

Kinda' off-topic, but I have heard from two different people telling me that Skal is looking really good in practice. Listens and is working his ass off. He has been the forgotten addition to the team obviously. That was good to hear. My few interactions with him, he's a real good kid. What is his contract situation?

Who told you this? Mike Barrett?

You go, Skal Freeland!

He's on the third year of his rookie deal, so he's under contract for one more year, and then we'll presumably extend the qualifying offer and he'll be a restricted free agent summer of 2020.
