is this your first time on nba-age or something?

these arguments are so stupid. 7 game sample does not represent a team. Not to mention, if there's no nash, they'd use that cap space on someone else to replace it. It's not in a fucking vaccuum.
CP3 would have had that team win 43-45 games.
Jimmer needs to not worry at all about scoring this season. We have enough black holes. Just learn to dish it to everyone and keep your ass behind the 3-point line when you don't have the ball and hope for someone to pass it to you for an open shot. That's it. He's trying too hard to prove himself.
If you'll admit CP3 can't play like CP3 for a full regular season, Nash is probably about equal with him in the context of a full regular season. Come the post season, because CP3 can elevate his defense, he's better.
Nash is astoundingly consistently great, in the regular season. He's even still very very good in the post season. But his defensive flaws get fully exposed there.

Camby being 45 sways the average.
Either way, they're not better than the Lakers. You can even admit this.
For the new page:
Lakers-age, just so you know
PER is no less flawed when you use it to praise Kobe than when it's used to say things about players you don't like

You're fighting a lonely battle here.
What?
Aldridge: 26
Camby: 37
Felton: 27
Mathews: 25
Gerald: 29
Crawford: 31
Batum: 23
Those are the top players on Portland's roster. Batum is the youngest at 23 and he's been in the league for four years now and has a ton of international ball experience.
Like I said: you don't know shit.

He needs to stop letting Anthony Carter expose him on defense.

Aldridge should average 50 against the Lakers.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't play like "full CP3." Reduced CP3 is still better than Nash, Deron, etc.
He was the best PG in the game last season and the last few years sans the 45 game season.
Also, let's not pretend Cp3 had the shooters that Nash has to hit shots.
Who is using PER right now?

OK fine, I was wrong about their age. SORRY. Let's move on. Bottom line and all that matters: Is Portland better than the Lakers? Do you think they'd beat LA in a 7-game series? Answer that question truthfully.
There is only one team that would 'scare' me and that's OKC and I've explained that already.

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
The number one cause of depression is not reading Heavy's posts.
Yes.
Lakers just had Kobe, Bynum and Pau combine for 70 points and still lost by double digits. That's no coincidence.
If Portland has home-court? Forget it.

It was funny and sad that during the game against us, you could hear him constantly calling out shit to the team.....don't think they listened.
portland literally shat all over you like less than a week ago and they're too young (what?) and inexperienced (what?) to beat you?
you dont even have one guy on your roster who can defend westbrook or durant anymore (unless ronald somehow goes back in time to 2010) and they're only maybe a challenger?
you have a team that's as old as the spurs but they're too old to beat you?
denver literally was a blown layup from probably beating you on the road in you own house in overtime
and then they shat on you the next day when they were at home and they cant beat you?
heavy do you even like
think
for one fucking second
about the shit you write
like ever

Yeah, i'll be surprised if portland make it out of the first round, but age / experience won't be the reason why.

An old team is not winning the title this year, sorry. By the time the playoffs roll around, Bos, LAL, SAS, etc will be gassed.
Lakers are old outside of Bynum. yeah, if Kobe is healthy I trust him, but Pau, Ron, Barnes, etc will be out of gas by then.

No idea what kind of team Portland will be at the end of the season.
But if the playoffs started today and Portland faced LAL in the playoffs? Portland wins.

What? this post is all sorts of wrong. On just about all points.
I'll take Deron to run Point over CP3, something we've argued to the death every time. CP3 just isn't "the clear best pg". Never has been.
CP3 wasn't the best PG in the game last season.
And lets not make out that the suns had the defenders that the hornets did either. Both teams were (are) massively flawed, but found ways to win.
When all the black holes find out they won't be able to jack up their usual 20 shots per game, they stop caring.
Except Salmons. He never gave a single fuck his entire life.

Eh...I like LAL still. Of course, I'm biased. But I am not a buyer on Portland, yet. I think LAL loses to OKC for sure, though. By the end of the year, Portland and Denver perhaps, too.
Spurs getting torn by the injuries.
By every statistical measure, he was. For the most part, anyone who watched the games agree there too. I would say 95% of the people who don't think CP3 is the best PG happen to be Phx or Utah fans.
For obvious reasons.
edit: so you think Rose was the best PG last year? Or really Nash (lol)

I'd like some non-homer opinions on that. Gerald Wallace isn't going to score 31 every game in that series.
The fact that you're even putting the Spurs up there in the same echelon is insane. Same with Denver. Really? You honestly think Denver would have a chance in a 7-game series? The fact of the matter is that OKC and MAYBE Portland if they get home court would be the only roadblocks.
There is no schtick. I wouldn't waste all this time typing up posts in some elaborate troll. When I troll it's plainly obvious like "LeBron's terrible blah blah blah", sarcasm and making fun. I'm being serious.
Salmons has to lose his starting job at some point. Garcia or Greene would be a far more balanced lineup.
I don't trust the portland medical staff to have Crash alive at the end of the season. I really don't. And i don't trust their med staff to have all of that starting 5 healthy at the end of the season.
When was the last time portlands starting 5 at the start of the season, also played their first play off game as the starting 5? Would be interesting to know.
Its a solid starting 5, no doubt though. And they'll make the play offs. May even make the top 4.

I'm not sure if the Shump stuff is a joke but the guy looks pretty good so far.
GT coach is the worst there is.

Some jokes some serious. And the GT coach was terrible. Favors looked bad at GT because of the coaching. He was the number 1 pick before GT.

Take some time and actually break down the West:
I see OKC and Portland as legit challengers. Dallas is the wild card. They could easily end the regular season on a tear. The West is not what it once was. That's all I wanted to say.

did you literally not just watch two denver games where they were far more athletic than you and should have beaten you twice
do you literally not realise that fucking tony parker is literally more athletic than your entire team at this point
do you literally think we're not in a lockout shortened season by the end of which teams like the heat and thunder who can run up and down on everyones ass will be the only ones left standing
you are severely underrating how old your team is, how little your team defends, and how shallow your team's construction is
are you literally asking for a non homer opinion when you are acting like the biggest homer of all time atm
Easily.
I'm glad Smart decided to play both Greene and Garcia over Outlaw this game so far, which hopefully means he realizes what a useless piece of trash the guy is which will hopefully later lead to Salmons getting benched midway through the season.
PROGRESS, BABY!
It's going to backfire as soon as people will call him the ROY.
