Foolish mistake by the blazers, they ought to tank and go for that Spurs in '97 situation, with Robinson injured, leading to Tim Duncan.

Why? They're already the youngest team in the league, have two of the hottest new players in Aldridge and Roy, and they get Oden next year.

They have first-round exit written all over them. Too inexperienced.

Doesn't really matter. Just getting to the playoffs would be a massive achievement this year.

Uh... so they can get 08's version of Duncan, of course. Wouldn't you like to see something like: Mayo/Rose/Gordon, Roy, Aldridge, Oden, all on the floor together?

The way Pritchard drafts, they'll probably trade up anyway or find a stud further down.

The city doesn't want to see the Blazers tank anymore. They want Rip City back.

They're looking good, but they would still lose in the playoffs to the Suns, Lakers, or Spurs.

Topic updated.

Update: They still won't go far. :-)

Don't hate. They're a good team, but they're just like Golden State. They'll look promising and fizzle out. The Spurs and Suns are just too good to let a team like that even make the conference finals.

So, you say this, then follow it all up with



I hate to break it to you, but those first 2 posts of yours are basically "hating." But that seems to be a trend here. The hypocrisy, too, though, so whatever.

It's not hating.

They could maybe beat Lakers, but could you see them winning a best-of-7 vs. Phoenix or San Antonio?

Yeah it is. You're talking shit for no reason other than you dislike the team or the person saying it. You're obviously no psychic, so, yeah. That's hating.

And i couldnt see the Warriors beating the Mavs, but it happened. Shit like that happens. Thats why people watch.

I like the team, and I don't mind the person saying it. >_>

Right...

13 in a row now, Blazers pushing for the top spot in the division, and Usurper has upgraded from sucking slightly shriveled dick to mostly shriveled dick.

All is well.

God I wish Oden were on that team, that would be a fun team to root for in the west.

Usurper is being absolutely reasonable when he questions the Blazers playoff chances. The west is a hard as nails division, and convention and experience win in the playoffs. Spurs have both, and Suns have one. Meanwhile, what's the average age of the Blazers? 16? Can anybody on that team even rent a car?

The Blazers don't have any playoff expectations. Just getting there is a huge accomplishment and overachieving this year, so beating the Suns or Spurs if and when they get there isn't really any of their concern.

Usurper's just being a hater because I'm a fan of them. You should be able to figure that one out.

Maybe. But the topics about their current streak, not the playoffs. No one said he was wrong, just that he was hating.

Thank you.

Okay, what about what i said? The topic's not about the playoffs, its about the streak. Hater.

It must be frustrating for you when trolling doesn't work.

Oh, dont try to turn shit around and avoid the question. That makes what, like the 10th time i've gotten you and you've resorted to changing topics or just avoiding what i say. Like the JW topic. And the Jena 6 topic. Besides, im not trolling. What i said actually has to do with the topic, as opposed to your hating.

No matter how much you proclaim it, you aint got shit on me. Nice try, though. Again.

Streak's over - go argue somewhere else.

Usurper is an ugly monkey.
