Portland is going to be a tough out in the playoffs.The only team I've seen them struggle with is the Suns
I wouldn't say that per se. They still have a lot of work too do. Obviously they're talented enough to style on low caliber teams, but the bulls shutting down LA, and commanding a vicious lead, until around the time
basically got hurt, shows how much of core asset he is too the offense. All teams really have to do is double up on LA, then the offense will be dissociated.
The biggest issue is still their Center Position. Robin Lopez is beasting out there, and trading for Asik would be pointless imo, because Lopez has shown that he can hold his own, and aint a punk. ( See last raptors game when
tried to punk him) But if Robin Lopez get injured it's a wrap for the blazers, because all their backup centers are pretty much
. It forces LA to give too much help defense to the other centers, which is what breh was frustrated of being in Portland. I hate watching them play when Freeland, Robinson, and Myers are in.
I've literally seen games where Freeland gets like 3 fouls or penalties within being subbed in for 2 minutes.
Robinson, is still struggling for the most part too to find his rhythm out there.
And Myers Leanard, is too weak.
