Lillard first in NBA history to have at least 6 threes in six straight games. Dame is playing out if his mind right now.
If Nurc and Collins come back healthy, I'd expect them to land somewhere in the 6-8 seed. Those two with the addition of Melo and Ariza is a respectable rotation.

I'm in Vegas right now and loved that Lillard performance. Came into town that evening and my buddy and I are at the sports book and it's a big Kobe fest in there, and as the tribute is going on it occurs to me that all of these people have money on the Lakers. Quickly check the line and see they were favored by -13 (!!) points. Never mix emotion and gambling... we quickly grabbed whatever money we had in our wallets and ran up to the counter and put it all on Portland +13. Got the bet in maybe 1 minute before tip-off. Haha, that worked out and a great way to start a Vegas weekend. Thanks Dame.

Lillard is a bad ass! I think a 6-8 seed if Lillard stays healthy is completely reasonable. I hate it when the Jazz go on their little mental slides. They aren’t talented enough to take games off on defense

Portland is capable of beating anyone on any given night with the way Lillard and CJ can go off. It is, however, much harder to do that 4 times out of 7. Not that I wouldn't be cheering for them over LA - I'm a big fan of PDX / Lillard in general.

Definitely a valid point and I felt that way going into the playoffs last year---I didn't expect them to take both OKC and Denver.
The thing is, our roster is arguably stronger on paper this year and I think they're just now starting to figure it out. Lillard is playing on another plane right now but even he couldn't do that if they didn't have other threats to keep opposing defenders occupied. Maybe it's my bubble, but I feel like people are sleeping on Whiteside. That dude has been putting up downright monster numbers all season. Yes, he's one dimensional on both ends of the floor but in the end, he basically owns the post as a garbage man, rebounder and rim protector. He's having one of the best seasons of his career and seems very stoked on the team, as he just bought a house in PDX.
It'll be very interesting to see how they rotate him and Nurc when he comes back. Whiteside is twice the defender and Nurc is twice the offense. Hood is okay--nothing spectacular there but having Collins back is material on defense. When he and Whiteside were playing together it pretty much shut down the rim--if we can do that now with Ariza on the wing, it becomes a bit more effective. And Melo has been playing his trademark ball--arguably better on offense than people expected and a wet piece of shit wipe on defense. But he's playing hard and definitely happy, so that's cool--I credit Dame for that more than Stotts. It's undoubtedly Dame's team and Melo knows he's just a cog.
Dame
CJ
Whiteside
Collins
Ariza
Melo
Hood
Nurc
+scrubs
= a pretty solid roster if they can all get healthy."All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring."

^^ Agreed. No 1 or 2 seed would want to have to play them in the first round, that's for sure.

I would not hinge any hopes on Nurc/Whiteside coexisting

I'm enjoying the development of GT Jr. The kid can play and his stats are on the rise. If he can keep the 3s going down it's going to allow the offense to keep rolling when the bench is in, something they have had trouble with in the past. Allowing Dame and CJ to take longer breaks would be a good thing as the season progresses. If Nurc and Collins make it back to their normal game I think they make it back to the WCF.
Can't say anything more about Dame that hasn't been said. Glad to have a guy like this as the face of the team. A true pro. If there are 24 seconds left in the game, down by 1, I wouldn't take anyone else in the league over Lillard to manage the situation.

They still have to make the playoffs and that's not a given. Blazers have been pretty bad at defense this year. I like Dame and CJ, but I'd bet they miss the playoffs. Lots of good teams sitting on the cusp of the playoffs in the West..... Really the #7 through #14 teams in the west are all pretty solid and fun to watch.

Capela traded, big 4 team trade (Rockets, Nugs, Hawks, TWolves). Like that the Nugs finally got rid of some of their depth and got a future asset.
