Hope at last. THE SUFFERING IS OVER…GO KNICKS!!!
That recap… poetry
so when does wemby join the team?
Look at all the ex Blazers on contending teams right now. How can anyone put a team together that doesn't get injured? We have had the talent before, but getting lucky enough to be healthy enough, for long enough to win, is something no one can predict. I think the expectation is ridiculous.
did he just say brother damian lol
Dame and sharpe plus grant are only need to be save to turn to for next season
the toughest thing i think we need to figure out this offseason is waht do we really wanna do, betweeen dame and simons, dame is our pg right now, he is the leader of this team, but when its all said and done that is supposed to be simons stepping up and taking dames role when hes gone.
Dame can get his ring in a few years through Shaedon Sharpe. No improved Blazer team would beat Boston, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, GS, Phoenix or Denver for the next three years. Only Wemby can give them contention with the contenders.
1. LET GRANT WALK (having a power forward who can't rebound at all is such a detriment) and sign a 3 and D guy who is a great REBOUNDER.
2. Trade Simons etc. for OG Anunoby (get the superb defensive versatility on the starting 5 and have Thybulle off the bench).
3. Trade Nurkic etc for Myles Turner (Athletic big man who can space the floor and is an elite rim protector.
4. Start Sharpe, let him take over CJ McCollum's role in a trial by fire, he has the potential and disposition to be a 2-way player.
5. Put Billups on the hot seat – Give him 20 games at a time, if his coaching is still amateur and the team is struggling FIRE HIS ASS and replace him with someone who actually is a coach first, player second.
Suns vs Clips looks like best 1st round series to watch. What say you, Mike?
This is your score first Guard
The crazy thing about the west this year was even though things went bad for us we were still in the hunt for the 4 seed till late in the year. It's hard to evaluate this year for sure. Last year it was easy to say we sucked and need to make big changes. I like what Cronin was saying in regards to not making bad decisions but also not being focused just on guys ceilings and being scared to make a bad move. I feel like we are 1 star and a few really good role players from being a big competitor next year.
Thank god it’s over, but with the end of the season brings us closer to the end of this era 😢
A top 4 pick solves a lot of problems!! If we get 7th pick it will be traded.. the blazers biggest problems the bigs not good enough and no backup point guard skyler mays or Payton Pritchard can fill that role now get us a center that works with dame nurk doesn’t Eubanks watford should be emergency rotation players… by the way if we had traded for Sabonis how much better this blazers team would be?? nurk has been a disaster in Portland enes kanter was more reliable 😢 trading ant 🐜 is just moving deck chairs 🪑I will give nurk credit probably won us more games than Greg oden 😂 nurk talking about get us more vets 🤮 how about you stop 🛑 being such a pussy 🐈
Dame was piss not happy he wants a chance so my question when traded heart wish got better player in return
One word for the season. Gross
Best Tank job of all time Blazers, 10.5 % for Victor. If Sharp becomes a Starter, what happens to Simmons?
