Weakest Blazers Roster ever?

[MARIS61]

Have we ever had a roster this weak? None come to mind, but feel free to offer your candidates.

2004 was worse.

 

[THE HCP]

Fuck no!!!!! The 04-05 season was BRUTAL! I remember games we started Bassy, Monia, Khyrapah,Ha...... Brutal!

 

[magnifier661]

Um yeah... I think the Zach, Dixon, jack, and pryzbilla was pretty bad

You all realize you're replying to a guy who thought Khyrapah was the next Pippen, right?

Lol

Yep. Aldridge is better now than Zach was then, and Batum's better than anyone else on that team. I bet this team would have seven or eight of the top 10 players between those two teams.

Ed O.

+ 1. Was just about to say the same.

He was.

Until he wasn't. He did pay SF for the Blazers and Bulls, was tall and light-skinned.

That team beat the Lakers. This team won't.

And ugly.

Your trolling is in overload right now. Vent some steam or you're likely to derail the train.

This team beat the lakers. What are you talking about?!

 

[THE HCP]

Last game of the season at home^

 

[MARIS61]

I never said that. I have never been very impressed with Pippen as a player, and less as a human being.

Nate said once that Viktor was the only player he'd ever coached who knew how to, and could, play all 5 positions correctly. He has thrived since leaving the NBA and is a starter for unbeaten CSKA Moscow in the Euroleague Playoffs. Also a player on the Russian National Team. He'd certainly be a starter on this roster.

THIS team, not yesterday's team.

Those guys are gone.

Those '04, '05 teams were just brutal talent-wise...

 

[THE HCP]

I watched 90 games in person that season! Let's just say it was a loooooooooooong season!

 

[magnifier661]

Those guys? Who? Wallace and camby? In case you didn't notice, Wallace averaged 8 per on the road. Camby was sliding fast. We play the lakers again, let's have this conversation when that happens. If we aren't losing by 20 by the second quarter, we are better right?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

90? Are you including 82 plus preseason?

Si Senor!

Maris, you're just too easy to smack around...

Laugh all you want but when I think of Pippen's early style of play and his awareness of the total game, only Viktor comes to mind.

This trade could end up a worse, but more predictable, one than Bowie/Jordan.

Owned. Now GTFO.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Si Senor!

Well... watching preseason games doesn't count. Because no matter the team and talent, watching preseason games sucks in general. So no bonus points for that. But the other 82.... mad props, FAMS!

Ha, yeah for half a second I thought HCP was trying to say they played more then 82 implying playoffs or something...

 

[Draco]

The thing I remember about those brutual patternash teams was how we'd be down by 20 early and often in almost every game. So few minuts of play in the second half were ever meaningful.

This current team has actually looked like that the last couple weeks, but I belive our roster is vastly more talented even without Gerald. I'm interested to see how the remainder of this season plays out. Yes losing out could give us a better draft pick, but I don't think we can be bad enough to get in the top 5. I'd rather see the team try to put together some wins, heck we're only a few games out of the playoffs and scrub teams can overachive for a few weeks so anything is possible. I'll root for wins but if we lose at least we can take consolidation in better lotto spots!
