    The Blazers throughout the seasons have traditionally been a second half team or at least had a lot of second half players. BRoy comes to mind, he always played his best at the endgame and now LIllard is showing similar tendencies. Will we be a 2nd half team as far as the season goes? First game is a home game we should win. I'm hoping for a better endgame to the season. Stotts said in preseason we'd be better in April than November. April's not far away now. a couple of bench players are starting to show promise.

    Reasons why we have been that in the past are because we have usually had a solid team as a whole and usually we have always been in the playoff race. We are very close to the eight seed which could drive this team to go on a tear but unfortunately our bench is... well you all know. Hopefully our five starters can maintain this great play or our bench steps up or we acquire a bench. Always hoping for the best.

    I am sure we will be better in April but it is all relative since most of the league will be as well. Ideally I want to see us compete then end up with the 12th pick in the draft taking Victor Oladipo. From there we can add a piece or two via free agency and make a legit run at the playoffs next year.

    Yeah It would be a good deal for them but who Olshey isnt reading this haha. If we can do this trade to start our off season we would be in great shape.

    Rip a cap hold is a number given to free agents. Basically the cap hold is added to the teams salaries at the start of free agency. So for example a team has 10 million in cap space but has 15 million in cap holds they are technically over the sal...

    You could trade the pick for someone like Sanders or someone young and a little more developed and hope Noel does not surpass them.

    Noel was playing at around 220 so I doubt the added weight will slow him down too much the guy just needs to continue his rehab and hit the weight room and he will be fine.

    As long as he stops pulling the ball down in the post I will be happy nothing more annoying than watching that happen several times a game

    Dont see how we can get a starting defensive center. I will be very impressed if Olshey can find one

    Paul Allen might sell the Blazers but the Blazers will never leave Rip City.
