If nuggets somehow go ahead of the clippers to third, they are likely playing the Lakers and with LeBron they will likely lose. Blazers if they also go ahead to 3rd face the same problem. Nuggets might also face the Mavs who also have a chance to be 6 seed with Lakers injuries and matchup with blazers better as they keep losing to the Mavs. Blazers cant stay in the 6 seed either as they likely play the clippers who they got stuffed by I think its best if both teams just decide to keep 4/5 seeds and tank games if they get too ahead. Nuggets did something like this last year to avoid the Mavs and jazz did it to avoid the rockets. Both matchup well with each other and anyone can win. What do you guys think?
Blazers are the most overrated team in the Top 8. Their defense is absolute shit and their offense is all on Dame. First round exit is coming soon regardless of the opponent.
Idk about you, but if my team had to play the Lakers I would rather play them in round 1 because they might not be fully healthy. Obviously, I don’t want to play the Lakers but your best chance to beat them will be in the first round.
Blazers would lose in 5, you have to play defense against the mvp
They have to as well. Whos guarding Dame? They have Nurk to guard Jokic atleast
Honestly I just want to avoid the Lakers, IDC about any other team so yeah, Blazers fans lets do this?
I dont agree with the first sentence. The Gordon trade seems to have supercharged the team and MPJ one year later looks like a star in the making. Not saying theyll win but I dont think its a forgone conclusion they would lose either.
The guy making this thread is the only guy I know on here by username, simply because his posts seem infamous to me. While I’m at it, I’m relatively new to this sub, is there any other infamous r/nba users here? Forgive me for getting off topic. But
