The Spurs aren’t upsetting anything. Just how good do some of y’all think Kawhi will be after missing the majority of the season?
Before the end of Game 5 and 6 (yuck) Harden was cooking the Spurs with Kawhi. Harden has never had a problem playing against the Spurs. CP3 is also a Spurs Killer because of the midrange. The Rockets have gotten better since then.
I’ll admit, I never expected the Blazers to be this good...I had them as a barely above .500 7th or 8th seed heading into the season...I never thought they’d be 3rd in the West they’ve been on a tear lately they’re 7th in defensive efficiency which is another thing I didn’t think would happen before the season started
Man, Lebron had max 3 games of the media saying they were going back to the Finals after the trades. We are back to saying Lebron has no help.
yeah, a backcourt of Dame and CJ should be hemorrhaging points, but the Blazers have managed to become a pretty good defensive team they’ve pretty much always been a good offensive team, but bad defensive team since Lillard’s been there, but this year it’s the opposite...good defensively (7th), and average offensively (14th)
Their defense has been the surprising aspect mainly due to their young guys, however the 3rd seed hasn’t been too much of a surprise with the fall of Spurs and Thunder, who were project much higher.
it’s a surprise to me because at no point heading into the season did I think Portland could be 16 games over .500 or reel off 11 straight wins and counting if they win tonight
Evan Turner hit Lebron on the arm which made him readjust the shot but he still should've made it. Refs missed that one.
Grizz 19 game losing streak... I wonder if Parsons is still getting booed at home, his production certainly deserves it...
We have a Full Season with Nurkic who is a great rim protector (except when LeBron dunks in him), also Rookie Zach Collins is great in Defense and Ed Davis also, that means the Blazers have 48 min a Good rim protector on the court. And also Coach Stotts changed the Defense System this Season, the Blazers defend the 3point line and the paint very well and allow opponent to shot long 2s, and it really works. Terry Stotts is a great Coach not only in offensive end
