Can Portland make the playoffs?
And if they do, what are your thoughts on Lillard? Seems like a lot of people shit on him last year but he's having a career year so far and CJ McCollum's emergence makes them the best backcourt in the NBA right now.

Re: Can Portland make the playoffs?
I actually didn't think they would be bad despite losing 4 starters. They made enough moves to be a decent team and off course make Lillard the focal point. Lillard is definitely a Top 5 PG if he can lead them back to the playoffs.
But the best acquisitions were the big replacements. Ed Davis, Mason Plumlee, and Noah Vonleh (whenever he can get playing time) are good role players who can rebound, block shots, and make the shots that are given to them at high fg%.

Thought they'd be a 35 win team because I totally forgot about McCullum's potential.
I still think they're miss the playoffs. Will fight for 8th-6th seed until All-Star, then dropout of the race the last month of the season.

Re: Can Portland make the playoffs?
Lillard is a top 20 player on a bad night. This team however just won't have the firepower to get into the top 8 in a very deep west.

Re: Can Portland make the playoffs?
just looked at their roster. After Lillard and CJ, it's just awful with a bunch of players who can't play more than 25 minutes a game. Aminu is their 3rd best player? LOL
Lillard and McCullum will be burned out by March, guaranteed.

Yeah I wasn't that impressed. A bunch of role players other than the two guards.

Memphis SCRUBS just freed 1 playoff spot in the west so its probable.

Re: Can Portland make the playoffs?
I like their big guys, too...Plumlee/Leonard are solid.
Their backcourt is damn good.
Bright future.

I don't think NO is going make it again either.

Re: Can Portland make the playoffs?
They have a good as chance as any young team. With NO and Memphis struggling they have a good shot. Dallas is a little shaky as well.
