with SAS, OKC and Houston is assured as long as their scouts are competent.

Yeah we had 8 consecutive playoff appearances (longest streak in the league at the time) and one trip to the western conference finals. That's better than a lot of teams over the last decade.

Just taking a minute to gripe about the City jerseys. The Blazers have the best color scheme in the league in black/white/red. And instead you get that dark teal color that confuses me the first few minutes of every game - especially when we play a team in white or red. Then in big letters you have PDX, which is the airport. And then they replaced the pinwheel with a sash? Seriously?

The rip city jerseys were cool. But these are trash. They couldn't do some retro jersey?

Bummer. Pretty much the sign he's not league material.

Congrats to Dame winning the 3 point contest. Sadly the closest the Blazers will come to winning a 'chip during his era.

It seems so recent that Dame passed Drexler for the franchise scoring record. Just 28 games later, he’s 986 points ahead. :lol:

He’s scored more than 5% of Drexler’s total with Portland in 28 games.

This is the season the Blazers needed to be an A or an F… they’ve so far gone full C- / D+ territory… just sooo incredibly frustrating.

Wtf?

Looks like the Blazers signed Shaq Harrison and Skylar Mays to ten day contracts. Not sure why the team felt the need to add two more shooting guards. But whatever.

If you're interested in tracking NBA awards, here's a spreadsheet that's being updated with official ballots: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KMzwRcilLDej0BWl7eYE_OYC9Tx9olI_Ptn-nHjKfpQ/edit#gid=2094680016

Looks like Lillard is in the mix for an All-NBA 3rd Team selection, though it's still very early. I don't think there's any way he'll finish on the 1st Team, and the 2nd Team is probably a stretch given the way Portland tanked the season.

I am loving this Kings / Warriors series. I hope the Kings pull it out.
