This team can get better

"Thought from the start Blazers would be good — picked them for the playoffs — but this has gotten crazy. Wait until they get McCollum back." - @SHowardCooper

That's the scary part. The team has only played 19 games and their are players that can get much better (t rob, Leonard, d wright and we haven't even seen CJ)

Lillard is also not playing that well right now, despite good overall numbers. When he gets hot again, watch out.

I forgot to add that -- Lillard is shooting under 40%, that should pick up.

It will. And that will be NUTS. It'll be a nice offset when Wes finally cools down. And even a cooled down Wes is beastly.

I was thinking the same thing in the first half. They did not play well at all. Lot of lazy passes and bad shots. But for the most part they always play with effort. That keeps them in games. Then they seem to turn it on late.

I am not worried about them playing better. Its when the other teams in the league ..... catch up!!

We haven't even blown a team out this year. Our biggest win this year was by 15.

How you figure? The entire western conference has been playing well. Are you talking about the eastern conference? I wished we played Houston tomorrow.

And yet we have the 5th largest margin of victory. I would say that has more to do with us playing the toughest schedule to date

We've gotten up big a few times, but our bench let the other team in the game. We'll blow some teams out though.

I agree. I think that it just another example of how we still have room to grow and get better.

I really like the balance and depth. Adding Lopez and Williams was brilliant and my vote goes to Neil for GM of the Year - bank it now.

I think we are one veteran big shy of a deep playoff run. If we keep playing like we have been, come trade deadline I think we should dump Meyers Lenard and find a veteran PF or Center for the playoffs.

LMA is playing out of his mind - and he is FINALLY playing serious. And he is truly leading this team!

IMO, we can get better by adding a veteran PF or Center.

Hawes.

CJ and Hawes off the bench would be awesome.
