Portland to possibly win nba championship

[tblues2005]

I don't think they have enough experience to win it. They need another year or two to be a complete contender.

[LRKontroll]

no bigs, no win at all...

The recent story of the nba shows that to win anything you need a big center and and good pf.

LeMarcus is really good and Camby is too old to do more than defend.

[Speedy88]

The Blazers have everything except for a go-to-guy. Both them and Denver suffer from not having that guy who can take the big shot. It used to be Brandon Roy, but he is no longer an all-star caliber player since his knee surgeries. We all know who is taking the big shot when the game is tied down the stretch for the Mavs, Lakers, Thunder, Bulls, etc. But who takes it for Portland, Andre Miller? I just don't think Portland has that go-to-guy who can get you a big bucket when you need it. Other than that, they have all the intangibles of a championship team (experience, defense, big men, etc.).

great day for all

[Otters27]

what are the odds? I also like the nuggets

[Scruff Mcgruff]

I don't think they are winning the championship but I'm going to bet big on them to beat Dallas in the first round if that's who their opponent will be.

[Scruff Mcgruff]

Aldridge, Gerald Wallace and a good defensive player in Matthews combined with the Mavs softness/inability to win in the post-season. Give me the Blazers all day. They will lose to Spurs in 2nd if my prediction in the 1st round comes to be though

[san2c]

lol @ they will not lose at home. such ridiculous statements made by people day in and day out I can't tell if yall are serious or just trolling.

[kobstopa]

Well, check this simulation out, oh shit even the Knicks made it to 2nd round in the east

[jjgold]

They will be a tough out although like 6 out of the 8 will be also

[ttwarrior1]

lakers do not want to play portland. Portland wants to play lakers also,,

Lakers lose tonight to sac they play portland

[BravesandMagic]

portland have the most complete team in the NBA than any other team. They are big, athletic, hustle. if they play the lakers, it will be a toss up. Lakers cannot run with the Blazers.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

They'd be +1200 and more to win it all which would definitely be worth a shot.

[BravesandMagic]

Let me guess, you're a Laker fan?

[mighty maron]

LaMacrus Aldridge, nicolas batum, marcus camby, rudy fernandez, wesley mathews
andre miller, brandon roy, gerald wallace

Camby was out, roy was out, now they are back and added gerald wallace.

In the playoffs they will not lose at home and only need to win one road game in each series.

I know its a long shot but they shouldn't be looked over.

YOu could argue that aldridge, camby, miller, mathews,batum is one of the best lineups. Gerald wallace and batum as a 6th and 7 man, Wow.

Not saying there gonna win it, but i wouldn't look over them. They just beat miami and orlando on the road

You just have to wonder what their record would be if camby, roy missed no time and they had gerald wallace all year

Take portland tonight over charlotte in a blowout

You would make a fine case study on why vaccinations should be banned. You must have gotten an extra dose of mercury in your initial or booster shot. I have to give you some credit though...to overcome such a case of mongoloidism to learn how to type and from two syllable words is impressive. We will work on color recognition tomorrow. in the mean time, leave any sports analysis to someone who can form a logical thought

[yisman]

I have futures bets on Portland and OKC and was not happy to see warrior mushing my pick.

[CashItIn]

not a chance sorry

[beyond]

They gonna wi next gamep

[Roxxyfish]

JJ Gold possibly become the next US president

[ttwarrior1]

cough cough

[CanuckG]

don't get too excited after tying a series. This team isn't going to be winning any championships anytime soon

[ttwarrior1]

not too excited, im actually a mavs fan more than anything. Portland not getting credit, one player away from winning it all next year for sure

[BettingWizard]

portland will never win a title. literally.

how can you when you pass on both Jordan and Durant?

[powerhouse]

Portland is so a stretch !!

[sweethook]

ya right

[LT Profits]

Portland will still lose this series even after today's miracle, Mavs have still covered all four games and they won't lose at home.

Regardless, Lakers are winning the West (sorry yisman).

yep.

[ttwarrior1]

lakers, now thats funny

[Balco10]

What a melt down by Dallas! Plus Roy has his edge back. I say Portland win this series, but will not beat LA or the Thunder.

[LT Profits]

lakers, now thats funny

It is funny picking the best team in the West to win the West?

[LT Profits]

Na, Dallas will still win series, I doubt they will lose at home

[wrongturn]

Not so sure about Dallas after blowing such a big lead. Plus Roy is playing like all-star again.

[leon]

By the way,congrats to referees last hight.They were the sixth player of portlands.

[beach nut]

They might get past the Mavs but they will not make the Finals this year.
