So How Long Before Portland Puts It All Together?

They will only get better. The plus side of this is management has a knack for finding talent.

Exactly.

Would you have made it if da Heat had won?

Yeah, I actually meant to make it last night during the first quarter, believe it or not.

The thing is, ere'body already knows about LA. He's a legit All-Star big in the West.

But I think Lillard and Batum got next. The key with them is CONSISTENCY, and they've both been that.

they need a bench and they need a big man next to Aldridge

These cats appear to be poised to have “next” with respect to emerging powerhouses in the NBA, especially since they got potential franchise players at key positions. They got youth (Aldridge is the senior statesman at 28 years old). Their depth needs a little work (and more importantly, more experience), but that’s about it.

This isn’t a reactionary thread to their win last night vs. the Heat…anybody who’s watched them this year can see that this is a talented young squad who could really make some noise in the coming years, and considering that other, traditional Western Conference powerhouses are getting older….

good call

See... even I can be a GM... Though, they still need another piece or two off the bench

Stotts isn't going to take the to the promise land

POR vs. GS is the 1st round matchup right now

I don't see POR getting past that TBH

 

[Regular_P]

I like their team, but they're really bad defensively. If they could somehow get Noah, they'd be legit. Lopez isn't gonna cut it as their starting center if they want to be a serious contender.
