    “Don’t be shocked if Portland is in the mix for a postseason berth this season”

    We got them wide berthing hips bb

    No better time to get scoot some post season experience. Though it would be nice to draft another all star caliber forward.

    Blazers bucks NBA finals let’s goooo. /s

    Yes yes more people paid to write doing Blazers fanfic yes

    We’re the 14th to 15th worst team in the West, lol

    Edit: You guys are crazy. What teams in the West do you actually think the Blazers are better than? The Jazz? No. Rockets? No. T-Wolves? No. Mavs? No. Pelicans? No. Thunder? No. Lakers? No. Warriors? No. Clippers? No. Suns? No. Kings? No. Grizzles? No. Nuggets? No. Spurs? Probably yes.

    Like c’mon now, stop being homers, this team is gonna be bad 🤣 There’s a reason Vegas is giving us the 2nd lowest over/under win total in the league (tied with Detroit and San Antonio) 🤣

    PG: Malcolm Brogdon, Scoot Henderson

    SG: Anfernee Simons, Shaedon Sharpe

    SF: Jerami Grant, Matisse Thybulle

    PF: Robert Williams, Kris Murray/Jabari Walker

    C: Deandre Ayton, Robert Williams

    I know the 24 draft doesnt have a Bron or Wemby ( or maybe even scoot) but there are some seriously nice potential pieces in the lotto we could chase.

    Curious to see what route we take.

    The only thing that’s going to suck after that is the enviable post after post asking, “if Portland kept Dane do you think they win it all?? Think about it, they were able to go to the playoffs without him so with him they would win. Think of him and Ant together! It would be a sick duo!”

    I feel better about the Blazers now than I did back in July, but I am still gonna wait for them to prove they are gonna be good.

    I’m going to be very disappointed if Scoot isn’t starting day 1.

    It’s not surprising. We have fucking Scoot.

    And we picked up a ton of assets.

    Ayton, Williams and our core alone will get us in the playoffs.

    Fuck, only 4 teams don’t even make it anymore it’s a joke

    I think the Utah comparison is fair- no one expected them to be any good. Our reliance on very young draftees is likely the difference. That said, if Scoot plays beyond his years it won’t take much for us to beat our current power ranking.

    Okay I’ve watched enough highlight videos. We’re winning 37 games this year.*

    * we’ll be on track to win 37 games at the deadline, then deal Grant and Brogdon and win 31 games.

  15. Drizzt3919

    Based off my nba2k24 stats so far we will be 82-0

    The Jazz blueprint requires a real coach. Billups was a bumbling idiot getting advice from Lillard on how to do his job.

  17. MookieV

    I hope they’re *very* competitive while they lose 50+ games lmao. Win win

  18. Mygaffer

    They shouldn’t want to win a lot of games this year.
