good point. and they seem to be letting the wb/adams pnr happen. its working per say, as adams is finishing those floaters he loves. but i guess more than anything pg13 has to play better for them to win anyway
Turner and Harkless have given them good minutes this season though. And even then, can they still afford to keep Aminu, Hood, or Curry? Plus Kanter seems like a goner since some team will inevitably offer him a huge contract that the Blazers can't match. Portland seems likely to take a big step back next season talentwise. I thought the Rockets had it tough trying to figure out how to hang onto House, Faried, and Rivers(or even two of the three), but that's a cakewalk compared to the Blazers' situation.
This gives out the vibe of a 7 game series....... HC advantage will be big. OKC prolly biting their asses for not trying harder in the regular season.
I think Portland takes game 2 as well. Russ is going to come out ulta aggressive and probably try to take over more than he should. You know how Russ does....he starts shooting too much without including his teammates and, ultimately, he shoots OKC to a loss. When CJ and Dame are on a roll, they have more firepower than Russ and George as scorers. Dame looks determined this year. He's not losing in the first round after the embarrassment of last year.
It's not my fault that I don't care for Russ. He's one of the most unlikable players in the league, in my opinion. Such an emotional baby.
I hate okc more than anybody not named GS. It’s consistent year after year and I think it stems from the brick out west
