The problem with your Blazers is that they’re too reliant on the backcourt to bring it home

I like the bench pieces they got like Hood & Kanter but Kanter is the equivalent of Popeyes chicken on defense
Small backcourts just dont go far in the playoffs. Only time it happens is when the team is great on defense.

I really don’t think boogie is gonna play much in the playoffs. Maybe 15 minutes if that.
Depends on how smart Kerr is and you know it least Curry and or Iggy getting hurt like Cp3 and since Green not stretching folks.... Ya never know

Curry hurt every single playoff for the past few years (like Cp3) and Andre had the knee injury last year, he getting older. Saying they may be forced to use Boogie longer depending on the health of others.

i have a feeeling indiana or portland is going to ruin the playoffs this year.

If indiana gets the 3rd seed, the east will be ruined because boston and philly plays in the first round and toronto gets 2 easy rounds before the ECF finals.

If the blazers get the 3 seed in the west it means GSW would only have to face houston or OKC instead of facing houston in the second round as the 1-4 then facing OKC in the WCF.

So its of the upmost importance they both are the 4th seed or lower

Not Indiana or Portland fault that the teams with the "Names" underachieved if that scenario happens;

Also there is a lot of games left and right now the Thunder are 3rd, Houston 4th and Portland 5th only half a game separates them.

Same with Indiana, Philly, & Boston, only 2 games separate them.

I wouldn't be surprised if some strategy to avoid certain teams starts to happen when the playoffs get closer.
