What West teams are we definitely better than?

A tale of two teams.

…and last night against the Queens, we saw the best of Nurkic.

package Nurkic with CJ and let’s move ahead

While Sacramento seems to stink against everyone else, they sure have the Blazers #.

Starting 1-11 on the road should disqualify you from the playoffs.

....but....but...but we are 9-1 at home. Let's just wait 20 games to see. Well, maybe let's wait 30 games to see. How about by the all-star break.

Truth is, we have waited 6 years. Two smallish, hero-ball, poor defensive guards don't work well together....for the TEAM. End of story.

Which teams are we definitely better than...at home?

Which teams are we definitely better than...on the road?

Very different lists. The second list is the null set.

The solution is political. Blazers need to get their guys onto the schedule-making committee so that they can have all the games at home.

doesn't every plane go down as many times as it goes up?

If nobody's right then everybody's wrong......

Or get some gerrymandering experts involved in redrawing city lines creatively so that every game takes place in "Portland."

Outside the box thought: Can we get an NBA franchise in Portland, Maine for the Blazers to play games against? Ideally, in division, so they play 2 "road" games in Portland (Maine).

Remember when the Spurs used to go on huge long road trips when the rodeo came to town? We just have to have rodeos visit every NBA city except Portland.

I believe they still do that.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I believe they still do that.

I guess nobody cares any more because they're not good.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Not the Wolves, apparently. They've finally got a coach who can get them to play up to their talent.

 

[Cugel]

None. Portland would not sweep anyone on a best of 7. Doubtful in the east as well.

 

[TBpup]

Per the OP, most of them.

If the question is for draft lottery purposes, I think it's going to be really hard no matter what we do to duck under OKC and NOLA... Houston on the other hand is coming on strong and San Antonio is only a half game behind us and also has a winning record in their last ten.

In all seriousness if Dame isn't right we're fucked and we're probably a play in team unless both, he is back to normal and we make a good move or two to get this roster right.
