In the meantime, Houston has been inconsistent shit. Even tonight's victory was a struggle. It's been awhile since I've seen a team up 3-0 in the first round struggle so badly to close it out.

Denver was actually a dog to the Spurs at one point this series.

So yeah, if Porltand plays well, they can shock everyone and win the West.

Will they get past the Bucks? That might be a different story.

A futures bet on the Blazers to win the West might not be a bad idea right now.

As much as I’d love Portland to get there, I’d be absolutely shocked if the Rockets or GS don’t win it all. I think Houston may get GS. The Jazz get you out of your game better than anyone in the league, and they still made fairly easy work out of a tough opponent.
Portland will get dusted by Warriors or Rockets imo.

With respect to CJ, Nurkic was their second best player all year. Their bench is super hit or miss with their back up bigs being a green Zach Collins and a bad Meyers Leonard

Dame is ever better than people think imo - aside from CJ and Nurk (and kind of Aminu), the rest of the team is pretty trash.

Have never heard the gay rumors that Druff alluded to. I do remember gay rumors about Westbrook from way back.
