Despite records, I'd have the Blazers as a tougher opponent. Kings just don't play defense and the Blazers can.

That said, they're a little dinged up right now. No Grant, Ayton, or Timelord.

I'll be there.

The Blazers defense has been elite since Jan 1st, they are 6th in DRTG over that time period and playing .500 ball (17-17). This could be a tougher game than people expect, Clingan and Camara are going to be all-defense guys in the future, Camara may make it this year. Expect Clingan on Hart, and Camara on KAT.

We need a screenshot of every Knick jersey when the camera pans to the crowd. Then we can use deduction to identify and unmask Mr O.

Sure loss then. Whenever Thibs encounters a team that has even the slightest commitment to defense, he folds like a cheap tent. Unravels like a budget suit.

There was a post picture thread awhile back that I contributed to. The Cap pic exists :o It was right after my first kid was born too so I'm looking pretty good.

Iirc, this was it:

It's sad that this season has been capped because the coach is from the Mesozoic Era.

It’s Thibs’ stubbornness. Even though I’m not a big fan of Bridges, he’s arguably our 2nd best playmaker in the starting lineup but Thibs gave those duties to Hart and relegated Bridges to the corner. I was excited to see the big lineup of Brunson/Bridges/OG/KAT/Mitch bc it would’ve given more playmaking opportunities to Bridges.

Blazers are an emerging team...kinda like the Pistons right before they actually became good. Hopefully we don't look at them like they're the Wizards.
