(The Blazers trade gives) them the most terrifying front courts in the entire league.

Umm....we have a front court?

If our front court got any smaller, it would be a back court.

pass out the sedatives

After a long grueling season, teams won’t be hoping to draw Portland in the first round.
Wedge Geralds 15, 8, 2, and 2, plus a load of intangibles, into the box scores, and older slower teams will have pill bottles stashed in their socks. I’d not be surprised to see a conference finals with Oklahoma and Portland. You can double team size a lot easier than speed.

Except it looks like we'll get them in the first round. :(

not likey considering they just gave up their third scoring option for a defensive center who is going to be out for a month

Dallas could wind up 3, Blazers could be 6

the teams are too closely packed to start playing 1st round matchup what if

I’d love to see the L*kers suffer a “little adversity” and then knock ‘em out in the first round, there would be nothing sweeter then to send P-Jack into retirement with a Blazer’s series win

I believe Mr Wallace is known as a Laker killer in parts of the country....

He must've been born with some Trailblazer in his blood.

If we get dallas

I’m sure we advance. We can defend 1-4 pretty well now…. And a very good interior help defense with canny

Who would of thought a few yrs ago that we would have lock down defenders in wes, batum, and Wallace… And LMA is one of the best PF defenders in the league….. Camby is not bad him self…. Rebounding should increase because of the misses that defense forces.

Yeah, but Camby and Wallace stay healthy. It's going to take a miracle.

thankfully we have the wonderful Blazer miracle worker fitness/training staff to assure they stay healthy.

Well, kinda funny

In a “laugh so you don’t start crying” kind of way.

The group of Matthews, Batum, crash, Aldridge and Camby is a pretty tenacious group

Constant pressure on defense and in the paint. I see Wallace at a lot of power forward by Camby and Aldridge. Blazers experiment of small ball has been pretty successful lately. With Aldridge, Crash and Matthews attacking the rim, Roy and Rudy will have a field day in the perimeter. Sure it’s small, but look in the west right now and who has a scoring big that you need to throw a lot of bodies at?

Lakers and Dallas(kind of)

by Biph on Feb 26, 2011 7:17 PM PST up reply actions

true, Bynum doesn't scare me. They aren't going to feed him enough anyways

Aldridge and Camby can keep Gasol somewhat in check and you can guard Dirk with Wallace and Batum for stretches. Just saying there isn’t any bigs out there in the west that wreck havoc in the paint like STAT and Dwight. You could argue Aldridge as the west’s most dangerous paint scorer in the half court
