I'm not saying you're discounting Lillard, but when you're comparing denver's best 4 players to CJ McCollum, and not taking how much better Lillard is than any player on their roster, that is a very flawed argument.

Plumlee is on team USA too. They don't have a top 7 rookie, but Vonleh has a ton of promise. McCollum is a former lottery pick who looked good in the playoffs IIRC. Connaughton will be a good role player if he sticks with hoops.

If Lillard gets hurt, then yes, they are the second worst team in the league. So we're basing votes on hypothetical injuries now to players without a major injury history? That's really how this works?

Portland is a young team with several players on the roster who could take a step forward this year in an increased role. Meanwhile Denver like I said, has no go to scorer, not great defensively, and has a coach that won't play to the style that fits the roster best. They're going nowhere
Solid argument here

Look, it's not like I'm saying Denver is that much better. I'm voting for them at 27 if Portland is voted 28. I just think Portland is going to be worse slightly than Denver.

That's some hot action. Take it bosox, $300
can you shut the fuck up, please?

You do this every fucking time. I'm not dropping $300 on a fucking meaningless bet. I don't even really bet ever, but when I do it's not for large sums on money. Betting is about the principles of being right, not for money.


I wouldn't want Nola to give me $300 if the Trailblazers end up with 25 wins and the Nuggets 27. It's just fucking stupid. I'd rather bet bragging points, bet dignity than money anyday. Especially when I have no ventured interest in the bet, whatsoever

But stop getting involved in things that have nothing to do with you. this is like the 2nd or 3rd time you've done this now

I know you were thinking something reasonable. But this is like the third time cheato has said for to me to put down $300-500 on a stupid bet that I have no reason to actually do

It's actually the 2nd time, and the first time involved me.
