Portland way more talented than Jazz?

[carolinajazz]

They literally have everything- Experience, athletes, shooters, perimeter and low post defenders, creators, great coach, low post scorer.

...well, then, I guess there is a good reason they lost by 30 points last night to one of the worse teams in the league???

Im not about to jump on a Portland bandwagon any time soon, but Harris as a top 10 point guard? WOOOOOWWW. Makes me wonder if you really can name 10th point guards in the league without Google. I don't have the money to buy what your smokin on. Let me guess your one of those to rate Hayward a top 15 player right?

I said he ranks at 10 or slightly worse. Look at the list of PGs that were posted.

And if you had even read a single post of mine before now, you would definitely know that I don't think Hayward is top 15. Quit generalizing. It makes you look like a fool.

GMs have nothing to do with that LOL

They do. KOC has his duds but he also has his good picks. Looks like Howard will be a good pick up

Billups
Conley
Curry
Evans
Felton
Jennings
Jrue
Kidd
Lawson
Lowry
Nash
Nelson
Parker
Paul
Rondo
Rose
Wall
Westbrook
Williams

and probably Rubio, Knight, and Irving too.

I'm adding Watson to that list.

I'm adding Watson to that list.

Tyreke is a 2 guard. And Harris is probably better than conley, felton, jennings, holiday, kidd (at this point), lowry, and nelson, which would put him in the 10-15 range, like I stated... ...

Yeah, he has struggled to start this year. Give some more time.

Love how people overreact to 1 game in a frantic 66-game season.

....not overreacting.....but you made it sound like they have absolutely no weaknesses and might not lose another game this year!!!

I'm not going to annoint the blazers as a great team until I see where they end up near the end of the season. I have watched them play. It's a typical Porty team. Athletic, run and gun, but ultimately, average in the grand scheme of things. They'll make the playoffs, MAYBE win a first round series, although I woulnd't bet on it.

They'll be the so called "team that nobody wants to face in the first round"

They've been that for a long time.

In previous years, they haven't been run&gun they've been a grind-it-out, tough half-court team. They used their athleticism to defend, but not to push the ball or play uptempo. That's changed now that they have a real PG in Felton. I don't think they'll come out of the west because I don't think they have that go-to player that has the competitive greatness to compete with a Kobe or Durant, but I think they're clearly a top-3 team in the conference.
