The 1st round so far...
- The Philly/Miami series might be the best out of all of them so far.
- The Spurs had no chance against the Warriors w/o Khawi (feel bad for Pop losing his wife)
- Portland has to be the worse #3 seed ever in the playoffs
- Cavs is looking real bad but I'm sure no one is surprised. If Indiana wins both games at home series is over with.
- The Blazers, Spurs, Timberwolves, & Bucks are all jokes so far especially 3 or the 4 mentioned.

this isnt a fair assessment of Portland b/c they only had 1 more win than the pelicans in the regular season. Teams seeded 3-8 in the West were/are probably evenly matched overall as evidenced by records, but this also doesnt give enough credit to the pelicans.

Yeah that's why I said 3 out of the 4 looks really bad not necessarily meaning the Spurs per say because we really know what the situation is with them. LA is not really a first option on that team, Pau Gasol is older, Tony Parker is washed and the rest of the group is just real young dudes.

Blazers overachieved. They need to blow the team up.
That summer when they spent dumb money on Evan Turner messes them up.
They should listen to offers for lilliard as they'll get more in return for him than McCollum

Man Portland imo is just getting washed and this just with one superstar on the squad. They ain't even at full strength with Boogie being out for the year. Portland is getting served by AD & Holiday. Tbh Dame Lillard's talent is being wasted in Portland. Shit if it could be done I would like to see him come and play for the Pistons. As long as the Warriors, Rockets, & Spurs sit on top of the West Blazers ain't going nowhere.
Spurs are done
Pop old as fuck
Parker, ginobli, pau just about done
Rudy on the back end coming off injury
Aldridge on the back end but he got about 4 years left
Murray, bertans, Anderson, whoever else they got not making no noise
Kawhi might not come back or be the same
It's over but still will be good enough for top 6 but they not contending

Kemba or jabari coming in the offseason but I'm getting ahead of myself let's beat the Sixers in 7 first

What?
I mean the only best year I can remember him having in Portland is the year he hit that game winning shot against Houston to beat them in 4-5 games when Dwight Howard was there. Other than that, he's done nothing of significance a lot of that I do believe to being overlooked because of where he plays. This is the same franchise that lost a whole starting 5 to free agency years ago.

Willhustle is right about Lillards talent being wasted. But ya'll just wanna get lols.
He's proven to be a clutch shooter. He got the same skill set as steph curry. But that backcourt is too small. No playmakers on the wings. There big men can't make plays. So in the playoffs they are really limited
