    Went with 93, based on pure homerism to my generation. I never saw the 83 team played and although they were injured, none of the 93 team's key members were out for the season so they could play in this hypothetical match up.

    Went with the 82-83 team.  It was this team that really sparked my interest in following the Blazers.  I was at those play-off games when we beat Seattle!

    I've got to go with 82-83 on this one, not so much because that was the better team, but because at least they performed up to a reasonable expectation. They finished 10 games over .500 and still managed to make it to the second round after sweeping the Sonics in the first round. That's legit.

    On the other side of the coin, 92-93 really underperformed for the talent they had. 51-31 regular season record and you end up getting bounced by the Spurs in 5 games? That's weak.

    I went with 93. The only reason we lost to the Spurs in 5 was because we held the Glide out in hopes he would be ready for the WCSemis. I don't really think they underperformed. 51 wins in a tough western conference and doing so while having so many key players miss so much time due to injuries.

    Wow some serious high hopes for JJ there. 

    @Cailin Isn''t a little ironic that the Heat are on pace to win a second straight NBA title despite being the worst rebounding team statistically in the NBA this season.

    I would trade the pick, the team is in rebuild mode and I am not sure Burke is the guy I really want on my team. Since my team needs a PG a PF and maybe a SG depending on how they feel about Afflalo still.

    Considering that is the only aggressive thing he has ever done in his life, it is not likely he will do anything. Maybe if he did I might respect him more. But its alright enjoy your higher ticket prices to pay this joker 11 million a year.

    Right now, the most realistic is Asik. If Houston pursue D12, sign and trade JJ and a couple second round picks, maybe Joel Freeland or somebody for Asik.
