Zach and Nurk will give us a good boost especially on defense but will see how big. It will be up hill battle to even get that 8th seed. But it will be exciting though due to every game to get there will a playoff game.
 
I hope the players can play the same, but IDGAF. Im ready now. If they are for it, im for it.

Who is gonna be full on decked out in Blazers gear sitting on their couch for the first game back?
Id paint my body red and black if I didn't have a new couch coming and didn't want it to ruin it!


Sooo ready for my boys to get back on the court.

Collins is our X factor.

Oh BTW...

Zach jersey in...
Meyers jersey out...

I think if we can win early on enough to get that 8th seed, considering our rust and lack of cohesiveness considering some havent played with each other, we can do it. We will only get better as players get to know each other the deeper we go. We could be the scariest team because even WE don't know how good we might be. Teams will be tossing their scouting reports out the window and have to start over for the most part.

BELIEVEEEEEEE!
 
They're hungry and mean, they're the Blazers, they're alright.
 
I am so excited for him to come back. I think we all know what Nurkic can bring to the table and don’t get me wrong, I think we are all super excited for him to come back. But Collins is still a little unknown in a way. We do know he can play good defense, and that alone can be game changing. But I am more excited about his offense. And yes we may not see a whole lot other than jump shot. But if that jump shot can prove to be real and consistent then other teams better figure out quickly to not only stop Dame, CJ, Melo, the pick and roll with the big men, and shooters in the corner with Ariza and Trent, but also figure out how to force Collins to miss. Collins could very well be our secret weapon that no one will want to have to deal with. Collins is the X Factor!

Don't get me wrong I big fan of Zach as a player as I am with Trent. But we seem some possible schedule for us but we haven't seen the true schedule yet. Can get there and get that last playoff spot sure but it still going be a battle.

Without that battle, and coming out on top, im not sure we are contenders. But if we come out of the battle and get a spot, our confidence snd psyche will be sky high and we can only get better from there with more time to further the cohesion of the players.

All we have to do is not lose and we'll get in.

If we're thinking we can win a title the prospect shouldn't be too daunting...
 
picked up a rookie auto /10 of his the other month in anticipation of a return!

Collins’ development is probably the single most important component of this teams immediate future. If he can thrive at the four, the ceiling rises significantly. I have little doubt he can handle it defensively. My question is on the other end. He doesn’t have to be lamarcus Aldridge, but if he can just hit a jumper somewhat consistently, along with scoring around the basket, the offense would be set, and the pressure would be off Dame and CJ.
 
He should grow a moustache or beard to increase his gritty image. HE and Nurk will put us into the second round.

They use him different on the offense end then they do Melo. Melo gets at 14+ shots a game and Zach gets maybe 8 shots a game and 2or 3 of them comes off a offense rebound. If you give as many opportunities that they give Melo then Zach would average as much as Melo.
