    As it stands, who can Portland beat convincingly?
    (Note that I do believe that any team can beat any team on any night. )
    Then who can't Portland likely beat as it stands?
    (Be serious here people. I do understand those of you who are very passionate about this team (and I am one of you) might say we can beat anyone, being honest. But for example, can we beat a Miami or an LAL?)

    I think Portland can be a top 4 team in the west.  They can definitly beat the likes of OKC, DAL, and others.  I also think we have the best chance to beat the Lakers out of everyone, but I still think it'd be a longshot in a 7 game series.  I don't think we can beat teams like Miami (of course), Boston, and Orlando.  But considering injuries it's a tough to say.

    We match up well against anyone, Mathews is a beefier version of Batum, we already know mathews can guard Carmello (someone who gave batum some problems last year) and Mathews could probably guard Lebron better than Batum, so I honestly think we can beat anyone in this league, if healthy, our size is going to be able to contend with the lakers and Magic, and is going to cause problems for Miami and other smaller teams. It all depends how much our perimeter defense increases and how healthy teams are next year.

    Maniac I imagine a lot of that has to do with cmeese he posts more than anyone else on here by a significant portion and when it is Batum trade talk he replies frequently, keeping Batum only gets a couple quips out of him.

  4. Trade/Free Agents Ideas

    Started by DoubleDz on 05/24/13 at 12:33 AM

    Nice Idea but I think the TWolves trade is very lobsided in our favor

    Derrick Williams and Budinger are proven players in the league. Claver and Freeland are not

    Hawes was playing nice this season and would be a good pick up imo ...

    I love the Grit and Grind, and I love the Spurs timeless play. I think if the Spurs get to the finals, they will beat the heat, but they won''t beat the Grizzlies easily, and the Grizz can''t beat the Heat. I know it''s weird.
