Portland is so legit.

[Connor B]

I love this ****ing team. They have great chemistry, Aldridge is perennially underrated. Lillard is always good for 20/7/4 and could be an all-star if he shot better. I don't think this is a fluke, I see this team being a top 3 seed in the west easily and making a run at the WCF for sure.

[BlazerRed]

We've shown we're a good team, maybe a very good team, but we're not better than a fully healthy Warriors/Clippers/Thunder/Spurs. I still believe our ceiling is fifth. I think we'll finish up between 5-7.

Lillard! :bowdown:

All he needs to do is improve his shot. Hasn't been falling since the first couple weeks of the season.

[SacJB Shady]

they just beat curry and the dubs in oakland. Pretty elite if you ask me.

Wes has been incredible. Surely he can't keep up 50+ on threes the rest of the season though. It won't happen, but if he can keep at 45% that would be incredible and super useful to this team.

Also yes his Mo is incredible, I have no idea who he is. Found him on google images and I thought he was amusing.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Really like watching them play. Exciting team.

What do you think this team needs to move on to the next level?

The refs threw two of our best shooters out of the game when we were down double digits at the end of the third quarter. We then proceeded to beat the living hell out of the Warriors and shut them down completely. Yeah, legit status yet to be determined.:oldlol:

[chazzy]

What changed from last year?

[RoseCity07]

What changed from last year?

We added a legit 7 foot defensive minded center who doesn't care if he shoots. He blocks shots and rebounds. Then we signed Mo Williams and Dorell Wright. They fill out our bench perfectly backing up Wesley Matthews and Nic Batum.

We haven't even had a chance to see our other back up in Cj MCollum who is supposed to have one hell of a 3 point stroke. If Meyers Leonard ever develops into a decent player this team will be amazing.

[Joshumitsu]

I want to see how the Blazers fare against OKC, MIA, and IND.

Nonetheles, a 10 win streak is a 10 win streak. Impressive still.

Oh yeah, I forgot they didn't have Lopez last year. He looked pretty imposing in the paint on D, I remember the Blazers being really soft on the interior last year

[wfb]

Well done, Portland. I always have a soft spot for that team.

I think Portland are certainly on that Warriors/clips tier.. Blazers are legit and fun to watch.

[tomtucker]

Blazers vs. Heat :rockon:

[HarryCallahan]

They need a bench. Their top 6 is good, but after them they've got Dorrell Wright and Myers Leonard. Not deep enough for a playoff run. 1st round exit.

Yeah, we do need to improve the bench even more. T-Rob, Mo Williams, Dorrell Wright, Freeland really is a terrible bench.. but after last year it feels like a huge upgrade. Mo has been great, Freeland is doing alright, but T-Rob is super inconsistent and Wright is nothing special. Wait till McCollum gets back, hopefully he can make an impact. We really need a good backup big though.

I've been very impressed with Freeland. He was 100% scrub material last year. It is obvious he worked his ass off and became a tough defender over the summer.

[Funnyfuka]

great surprise coming from nowhere. Remind me of the drexler era.

Heat, OKC, Portland, GS, spurs, dallas, houston, clippers, indiana... looks like there are real contenders for once.

[TheReturn]

I'm getting on the bandwagon. Especially with the way this Bulls season is starting to look :(
