lamarcus best 4 in the NBA? 
Yes. but be careful typing that in here, people will come and tell you that Blake is better
this would be true if blake wasnt a point guard

The biggest change I see in PG's game is his consistent level of aggressiveness thus far.

Last year he would have terrific moments, but also moments where he would only shoot 7 times, or only score 6 points. There's plenty of players who have elite nights in the league, but what makes you elite is the consistent level of eliteness that a superstar player brings.

PG is becoming like other superstars in this league. They have no chill when it comes to aggressiveness. PG is now bringing it every night. You can pencil him in for almost 25 a night, and that's what you look for in perennial all stars, and superstars. It's not them being elite, it's them being elite every night.
 
I haven't seen any of their games so I gotta ask...how are the Blazers going from a 33 win team last year to one of the top teams in the league this year?
 
i mentioned this in my post earlier. you cant do anything but certify him as the second best player in league if he gets one before kd.
heck, his team put more of a fight vs the heat than okc

Yeah but by that metric KD is still better. KD was awesome against the Heat in the Finals while coming out of the west, while PG was just good in the eastern conference finals.

they had no depth last year. their starting 5 is legit

They got a legit center to play along side Aldridge, Lillard has gotten better and they significantly upgraded their bench with Mo Williams, Dorrell Wright and a couple other guys.

Plus, when they Blazers are good, they have one of the best home court advantages in the league.
 
It's getting REAL thick out here in Portland right now. I fully expect we want Heat chants by end of the week. :lol:

Amazing start to their year tho, hopefully it will sustain them after their McGrady in April.
 
Still can't believe more teams didn't go after Lopez..


Blazers got steals in Lopez and Robinson.. For what centers are making and what Lopez does, I'd love to have him on my team.. And Robinson, you're taking a flyer on a top 5 pick who didn't really get a fair chance with the kings or rockets

Last year the Blazers had, statistically, one of the worst bench's in league history. They completely overhauled it in the off season. And I knew the bat signal was up and CP would swoop in here with his blazer bashing. Listen man, you might be able to get Greg Odens autograph now that he's more humble and playing for the Heat

Are the blazers still last in the league at points in the paint? They are going to have a tough time making a playoff run if that's their style
 
As someone who has never seen Cousins or Drummond play but owns them in multiple leagues, who is the better player? I just know they put up huge numbers for mediocre teams
