  1. Def not a top 3 team. Spurs are way better.

    Fully healthy, OKC is way better. Portland is fortunate to be getting 2 games at home early in the season when OKC is without Williams and Holmgren and is still trying to figure out how to hold things together until they get healthy. Philly and Boston are also better.

    That’s 4 teams better than Portland.

    Then we have to wait until the tier 2 teams (good/possible contenders but flawed enough to the point that putting them in the tier 1 contender category is very debatable) get their cracks at Portland.

    So far, Portland is 1-1 vs the Lakers in this category. 1-0 vs Denver, although Denver appears to be continuing their incremental slow decline as Nugs fans appear to be growing tired of the Joker era there, and they may end up proving to have been reduced to a tier 3 team at this point (decent/competitive, high end tier 3 teams ceiling’s are the 6 seeds while the rest will be reduced to the play in).

    The rest of Portland’s wins have been against lottery teams, with the exception of their fortunately timed for the aforementioned reasons matchup last night against OKC and their subsequent first W of the season against a tier 1 team.

    They aren’t top 4, and once the dust settles a little more (Portland is tested against more tier 2 teams) so we can see the pecking orders more clearly in each tier, my guess is Portland will wind up with a ceiling of being bottom end tier 2 and a floor of being mid tier 3 (8th-10th in the WC standings)

  2. Portland lost to LA and SA those were a back to back after a long ass road trip put some context in it. The Lakers play style is not sustainable for playoffs. The blazers would wreck em in 5 they’re built for the playoffs

  3. Portland has half their roster out with injuries right now. Wait until they get Sharpe and Ja back. Already gave the Lakers the belt once in LA, would love to see them in a playoff series. The refs don’t award Luka and Reaves constant flopping/flailing/crying nearly as much in the playoffs.

    Spurs are easily the best team out west, but Blazers can give any other team a run for their money and have a chance to win in a 7 game series. They definitely should make a move for extra depth in the front court though.
