    I am hoping for a deep deep playoff run this year. It's only a matter of time before Miami learns to play together and takes control of the NBA. Portland needs to win one within the next few years or it's only going to get tougher.

    What I hope for and what I think are two different things. Portland can win a championship if they pick up one of these all star point guards. We need to get either Paul, Parker, or Harris BEFORE the season starts. If we get him afterward, our play will change in the middle of the season. While we are a home court playoff team, we need that second all star to bring us over the Lakers so that we CAN make the finals. After that, it's going to be LeBron James that we have to beat. He is the one of Miamis big three that Portland has trouble with.

    At the very least we need to get out of the first round! Outside of the Bobcats and Grizzlies (Both expansion teams within the past 15 years) we are tied with the Knicks for the longest drought of not making it out of the 1st round.

    With the team we are assembling, we should make it to the WCF. I don't think we're quite ready just yet to hang with the Lakers, but this would be a great start and potential stepping stone to make it back to the NBA Finals!

    I'm expecting a more normal year as far as injuries and that to me means a top 4 seed going into the playoffs. Looking at it right now, I will be dissapointed with anything less that Western Conference finals. Maybe I'll re-evaluate that for myself later in the year. Could go either way.

    Not two months. It wasn''t a major injury, X rays came back positive. I know he played because we had no one who could replace him, and that was admirable, but it simply does not take that long. When he had a good game, he said my wrist felt good....

    Yeah I was one of them *blushes*. I was never a diehard fan of basketball until the 2011-2012 postseason. I could name every team, but I always forgot two. Kings and Blazers.

    Yeah, he was tripping with that Scottie Pippen reference. Nowhere as good as him, BUUUTTT, I think he can be, if he plays like a man. In Euroleague, you are taught more about finesse, and the fundamentals. He needs to put a little more muscle on, ...

    I think what Stotts is doing is superb. His plays are great. I remember the only play he ever called for Meyers Leonard, against the Bobcats. Great movement, got LMA a good mid range look, got Batum a decent three look and the got Meyers way down ...
