    On NBA ESPN it says we have a 90 % chance of making the playoffs so thats good but what are the odds that we make the finals? I say probably 5 to 10%? What do you think needs to happen in order to prolong our season? What chance do we have of getting to the Finals?

    well if you are any good at math ( unlike me) you could count up the teams that make the playoffs, which is 16 and then you see how much of that you account for , which is 1. and then you figure
    there is a 1 in 16 chance of making it.....i think i could be wrong by forgetting the other finals team.....


    Other than that, relying on teams to play at lower caliber is just unrealistic, but then again how realistic is it for this team to step up their caliber maybe x2......

    the way this team can prolong their season is if they play one game at a time. play defense on every play and lower the frequency of empty trips down the floor, meaning score on every drive, get some amount of points. 
    but watch out for the cliche police, defense wins championships, and portland needs to step theirs up BIG TIME!!!@!!!@#!$#@^%@%^%#$^&Y$%&%$!!!!!~

    Matthews shot a best 37% in college. Oladipo just shot 44% to assume he will not be a good 3 point shooter is  presumptuous.

    Curvychloe - Well Said - This is why I was hoping so much for Balmer/Hansen to get the Sonics. Even though Paul Allen wanted to deal to happen, Paul Allen is looking at it as I could make $500M and sell it to my buddy and then his buddy coul...

    First off Damian- Jack will make a lot more than 4 million next year. At minimum he will get a couple MLE offers starting at 5.15 million. Tony Allen will also get many MLE offers so to sign either will take at least 6 million probably closer to 8...

    Rookies are fine a team should be able to carry 5 of them easily. The problem with us last year was we had no depth in front of the rookies. Lillard and Leonard as lottery picks should have gotten lots of playing time, which they did. However, Bar...
