21-4 is the best record in the league.
best record but not the best team by the way lol
mmm how long is it going to take intill blazers start losing steam.....don't br surprised if the blazers start losing 10
games in a row
Just wait for the grinding months.
tschl
The Blazers are just last year's Knicks all over again, imho.... started out hot shooting the ball, but eventually cooled off and started sucking....
Not sure why people think Portland is a fluke. They have a great all-around PF, a high-scoring PG, good role players, and decent bench. Sounds like they copied the Spurs formula. Tip-o-the-cap to them.
And they don't have any particularly hate-worthy players, either.
Maybe it's just the fact that they sort of came from out of nowhere. Nobody really had them as the #1 team in the west this year. Well...maybe everybody was wrong.
Anyone who doesn't take the Blazers seriously is re ed. They are a lethal team, and Aldridge has been growing into a bonafide superstar. Him and Lillard compliment each other well, even though I think Lillard is a bit overrated. Explosive scorer, but highly inefficient.
If they stay healthy, they will be in the finals, but probably lose to the Heat.
Not only the best, they're also the "guest" team in the west (no matter what the the "guest" team means)
Very likeable team.Not sure why people think Portland is a fluke. They have a great all-around PF, a high-scoring PG, good role players, and decent bench. Sounds like they copied the Spurs formula. Tip-o-the-cap to them.

But best team in the NBA? No.
Best power forward? Yes
Good athletic wing defenders? Yes.
Best "young" PG? Maybe
Great coach? Maybe.
I dont think they area fluke, but they still have plenty to prove. On paper they have everything you would want in a contender to the Heat except maybe better center play. But Batum and Matthews are at least good defenders to throw at Lebron and Wade. LA would own Bosh ...
But they aint got Lebron. And Lebron usually murders Portland, going back to his Cav days ...
They'll be top 3 in the west come the end of regular season if they can stay healthy, but which team will you wanna see them mavs facing in the first round, among the likes of Spurs, Clippers, OKC and the "guest" team in the west? No matter how many games they'll win in the regular season, their ceiling will still be no higher than the 2nd round imho. Experience will make tremendous impacts on the playoffs and most of the players on this "guest" team have little to none experience in the playoffs, and to quote my Jacob, this team hasn't won a playoff series since Clinton was president. I think they're just like a poor man's 10-11 Thunder, tbh.
the blazers entire defensive strategy is to give up points in the paint in favor of taking away the three point shot. they aren't doing .
Will OP an hero when Blazer's are no longer guest team in the nba?
Let's see how they matchup in the West come playoffs:
Thunder - Could take them 6 games to dispatch the Blazers
Spurs - Could go 6 or even 7, wouldn't be surprised if they beat the Spurs.
Clippers - Will go 6 and i like the Blazers in this one.
Mavs - Blazers in 6.
