Y'all butt hurt dereck rose and blake wanna be in Detroit if they don't think they situation hopeless or the fans or GM gtfo and let us go throw out process
Jamal Murray
I like how you said Portland beat season with a losing record when they were dealing with injuries the whole year
Andy should have put "The Entire Knicks roster" at #1. Their purgatory will continue until Dolan sells the team. Maybe 20+ years
Brother this so called modern nba, should be call Broken NBA with all this súper team creations at the front of this we have Lebron The man who can’t win without several stars and super star (AD) in his team so with teams like this others team cannot compete so the NBA is about just 4 or 5 teams nobody is watching and team with just one start coz they know they can compete with a team full of star and good players back in 2000s the nba was so fun and competitive to watch but is just trash. Now players needs to team up with other star in order to win
Shout out to DeMar for defending his family from a robber
When was this?
imagine trying to break into kylie jenner’s house and accidentally breaking into a 6’6 nba player’s house on accident 😭
This comment reminds of that video of jr smith beating someone's ass 😂
@@brandonw6139 today
Well he Wasn’t technically a robber. It was trying to rob him. It was a dude who went to the wrong house. He got there by accident lol
Damn Andre Drummond is in such a bad situation that he’s not even in this video
All the Cavs, are in a bad situation right now, yes clearly they have some young, good player, but their future, at least for now is not so bright.
No he’s just not good enough for this video
@@mattmmixes a walking double double isn’t good enough?
@@Jetanium Drummond on 20 milion a year contract would be one of deadliest additions for any contender, but he isn't worth a max and everybody knows that.He is best rebounder in NBA and that's it, nothing more...
@@Jetanium if you only value two stats than sure but if you look at overall production it’s pretty clear he’s not
I feel bad for Blake and Demar, want to be loyal, and then loyalty clap them back, so sad, and now they are stuck in very bad situation, so sad
And people still blame stars for leaving bad teams... Franchises won't think twice before trading a "loyal" star if they need to.
@@calamorta this is the most hypocritical thing about the nba community. People get mad when players leave but if the team trades them then nobody is mad
It's true. But organizations shoot themselves in the foot when they do this. Why do you think Kawhi went to the Clippers an a 3 year deal with a player option in year 3? Because he knows Ballmer will trade if things don't go right. He'd rather be in control
Blake had his chance. Clippers let up a 3-1 lead in the playoffs. THey were West favorites like 2 years in a row
The thing is someone like Demar or Andre Drummond were able to opt out from their contracts as they had a player option. They could've gone to another team for a bit less money and win.
Andy: “Beasley was an absolute steal...”
Larsa Pippen: “Agreed!”
Rip Scottie
@@timhardawayjr.3532 RIP scottie jr
Bruhhhh also Anthony Edwards is not in the trio
🏆
@@timhardawayjr.3532 Scottie down bad
I'm here from the future and Demar is revitalizing his career with the Bulls
Beal had his chance to walk away, but he wanted big money. He put himself into this situation
I mean they gave Beal another chance by dealing Wall for Westbrook. Westbrook and Beal is very interesting to be honest
Have a point bro one thing should of stood out to him is when wall was traded.
@@adriandantedanosos4146 nah westbrook is the type of player impossible to be a contending team unless he gets paid waaaay less and be a third option or sixth man
@Richard Davis You just hate westbrook
@@adriandantedanosos4146 nah it is true that he is selfish... That is probably the main reason he is not a good player to win a championship

@@Shortballa11 as raptor fan i have no problem with that lol if we kept him we wouldn’t get pass the 2nd round let’s be honest
@@jaytee8096 truth. the mans always been a star but it takes superstars to truly go far
They couldn't win WITH him because of the choking. When your best player chokes you can't win. Siakim choked in the bubble and that's why they didn't make the Finals.
Blazers have just been unlucky with injuries. With a full roster like they have created this offseason they are a real threat.
Agree. They are always the most slept on team on the west, and I think they have the potential to make all the way to the conf finals.
Yea I agree. Andy here doesn’t really know what he’s talking about in this case
they are as middle of the pack of a West team as it gets. That Nurkic injury last year hurt them a lot. But fully healthy they aint top 3 in the West.
Y’all say this every year your not winning with a backcourt like dame and cj. Gotta trade cj and get dame a wing star. Only way blazers can win the west and chip
@@hahahahaflyer who would you trade CJ for?
*Blake: goes to the Nets*
*DeMar: goes to the Bulls*
*Westbrook: goes to the Lakers*
*Beal: stays and has a wildcard team on his hands*
*Zach: stays and now has a legit contending team*
*KAT: stays and now has a more competent team*
*Dame:* 😔😔
Blake Griffin had lstatistically one of his best seasons ever on the Pistons
but injuries tho. The best ability is availability
That would tend to happen when you go to a way less talented team don't y'all think...
@@LaidBack-- But he was injury prone with the Clippers too. Plus he's over 30. That's a recipe for disaster
@@TTJJCC he's always been injury prone... even in his prime. I'm missing your point here.
@@LaidBack-- Judging by your last comment it sounded like you're saying he wasn't injury prone before he got to the Pistons. If I misinterpreted that, my bad. But I'm saying Blake is over 30, injury prone and past his prime. I think most Piston fans would love to get rid of his contract
I'm a bulls fans so I'm biased but I can tell that there hasn't been this much excitement around this bulls roster and team since the last time they made the playoffs. Now that they finally got a new front office, and being in the weaker east, I feel like they still have some time for us to see. Zach Lavine is one of the few guys who can create his own shot anywhere on offense
I agree we now have a new front office and a new head coach, i think we have a bright future and maybe we will make the playoff this year
happy about the front office but we know Lavine cant be our number 1. Our draft picks arent paying off and we lose in free agency every year. Hard to be optimistic at least for another 2 years.
The east is literally stronger now
@@patrickmatthews8191 yep Hawks and Nets got stronger
Zach Lavine needs to request for a trade tbh. I think it’s time
Now that Tony, Manu, Duncan are gone, San Antonio feels like a wasteland for star players. I forgot Aldridge and Gay were on that squad
@Bite Me most bubble teams were coasting. All they got are solid role players and washed up former stars
@Bite Me Murray was on his way up before that ACL injury. Injuries that early mess with your development mentally
@Bite Me i was expecting a much bigger jump from him. Especially with how quick he is.
Derrick White
Blake griffin really needs to leave
He is at his peak rn its sad
Whatt? his peak was at the clippers ofc
@@nirdeep07 Yeah his peak Athletically but not his peak skill and shooting wise
@@trizzycobain yeah I thought u meant athletically, my bad
I really don't think Blake has reached his peak, its just the Pistons team currently isn't strong enough to compete. Team Blake with Other stars and I bet it will be just like before, just dunkin on everybody.
He's declined and he's too injury prone
How good was Jason Terry a soild shooter and scorer in his prime in the 2000s and 2010s.
I would watch that big time
Kawaii Unicorn is annoying as hell. Spamming Andy's pages with random player ideas. Stop that.
You forgot to mention that Portland was terribly injured and they could’ve been top 5 seed last year with out the injuries.
They are my sleeper team this season tbh I think they making the second round or even then conference finals with dame in mvp running
@@jimbobfisher8904 No bruh
@@jimbobfisher8904 Second round is as far as they can go. Dame won't even be top 5 in mvp votings especially with a healthy team to defer to, it'll be luka, giannis, lebron, ad, kawhi, kd and harden in the runnings
@@jimbobfisher8904 conference finals? The Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets are teams that will knock them out of the playoffs before they reach the conference finals
@@jimbobfisher8904 pls shut up they ain’t going nowhere 🤦🏽♂️
Andy should talk about how good was Joakim Noah in Chicago
epic gfx agreed !!!
doesnt get enough credit as a point center when Rose when down
Kevin Love. That guy been stuck in nonethingness since Lebron
not even the best player on the cavs lmao
@@whywhere1768 then who the fuck if cause right now the cavs have literally no one
@@jishafish5691 Sexton maybe? Drummond probably. Love's still a beast but he's not the wolves KLove anymore
@@LoLSkydestroyer Shoot, shouldve put Drummond and Love on there lol
@@LoLSkydestroyer I heard Garland is looking like their best player based off the offseason
San Antonio is never hopeless
Yup they are the 4 seed!
Zach Lavine went from the Timberwolves to the East version of the Timberwolves. Dude hasn't even been on a team with a winning record, let alone making it to the playoffs
Feel like his career will be like that for a long time
i remember when they were calling the Wolves the next Warriors with him Wiggins, and KAT. Sad story
Spurs are always underrated.
Gospursgo
Had faith in them til they finally missed the playoffs last year. West is just too good now.
@@Shortballa11 yeah some Spurs fans are still too eager to make the playoffs when they clearly need to rebuild for at least 3 years cuz there's no way they make the playoffs with more than half of the teams in the west better than them
@@patrickmatthews8191 they are spoiled fans. They only know success since Timmy got drafted. Things change though. Spurs stars getting old and the West stars are coming into their prime
Yep. This guy has no idea what he’s talking about
@@37willdog The spurs are in the 6th place right now, in a very loaded west while Aldrige was still out. They have the same record with the Bucks, 2nd place in the east.
Who expected that last two months? Espn says they will end up 12 to 13th place even Andyhoops didn't expected this. hahaha
10:13 you gotta mention that the wolves drafted Edwards #1 and got back Rubio!
I don’t know about San Antonio I feel like a few of the guards we have will be stars or fringe ones at best
Is it me or Blake looks like Currys older brother lol
Naw he looks like KidNPlay
@@whatssogoodaboutindy6696 Fuck no you ain’t even spell it Right
Blake looks like Canelo Alvarez
Let’s go Andy back with a banger! Andy I just want to lyk you’re such an inspiration to me and the reason why I started on the tube! I hope to make it like you someday but I’m struggling so much despite countless hours of editing :(((
I’ve been watching Andy Hoops for 3 years. Love this guys content
Man I really love this channel been watching for years now
Blazers had injuries will y'all have selective memory
Ya and they still made the conference finals last season. They busted that crazy competitive 8th seat this year and would have gone farther if the LaBranettes weren't so stacked.
@@jasenhansen6354 And we just got more stacked. I mean...I do like Portland but just like Milwaukee they look promising every year and besides a few years ago they never really do anything in the playoffs. For Melo's sake I hope they do better.
Bruh blazers are not winning anything by a mile they got lucky the previous year they gonna find new ways to lose like every year, blazers team just looks good lillard needs to get out of there asap
They are in the western conference so unless they get a second star they will stay a competitive yet staggant team
@@kentflowers7364 cj and some of your players make a trade for maybe Bradley beal kinda all-star next year so Gillard don't get clapped back by his loyalty
Yooo get me outta detroit
Come back to Chicago
We love you bro, hang in there you still the man!
The one and holy the most best player ever to wear 1&25
I love your storytelling and the background music like you make me feel sorry for these dudes 🤣🥱
This year for the blazers had TONS of injuries and when we got healthy it was too late. Talk about that!
Literally half of portland was injured what are you saying
He don’t care about truth in his narratives. Just fake clickbait bullshit.
Seriously, what a stupid hot take. Man doesn't know shit.
portland are trash and lillard is a choker in the playoffs. wen they eventually got to the wcf he shot 40 percent from the field and 28 percent from 3, lke common man
@@eddyededwin your ridiculous man look at the facts dame gets doubled and tripled teamed soon as he come to half court and when he passes it nobody makes it do you watch portland? This not 2k you can't just run around it
@@dejuanwallace6198 which superstar doesnt get doubled 😭
The top three players in NBA history with the most talent with no team success: Charles Barkley, Charles Barkley, Charles Barkley.
Steve Nash and Karl Malone belong on that list. 2 x MVPs each but no ring.
I’d also throw in Stockton, Ewing, Iverson, CP3 and Elgin Baylor.
@@stephenbusby424 Yep. You are right about all of them. I also think Stockton is the most underrated player in NBA history. Most fans of the NBA do not realize Stockton has the most steals in NBA history.

Great video coverage Andy keep up the good work
Great work bro
People who are looking down on the Spurs young core are about to get rude awakening this season.
Fr tired of all this slander keldon johnson looked nice in the bubble
It rlly aint about the SPurs. its about how strong the West is. OKC drops out the playoffs and maybe Houston. That means GSW still getting a spot, Suns are next and the Pelicans/Memphis up and coming.
You mean missing the playoffs again? Not hating cuz they have a very slim chance of making the playoffs due to hoe loaded the west is
Lillard needs a “draymond green” player.
Put sum respect on Melo's name... he surpassed what everyone expected and he embraced his role and looking even better for the 2021 season
Aye Facts, it's easy to say well they got ah Melo. Facts is he played better than most players that got mid level contracts.
Respect
Melo’s name
I read about the robber at DeMar's house, then immediately after, just randomly decided to check my CZcams subscriptions...and this is at the top of the list! Good timing, huh? :p
Oh nah Andy 💀 might want to rethink your comments about Lonnie’s haircut, look up the reasoning on why he did it
He really messed up on that
It kinda feels like Blake Griffin isn't even in the league anymore. You rarely hear about him, He's been injured I know but markets really matter.
Hes still good just not as athletic and injuries
Big fan Andy, but in my opinion putting Dame on this list is stupid. The Trail Blazers got the 8th seed while missing Nurkic most of the year. With him healthy and in the lineup, they are guaranteed to get back to the playoffs. AND THEY JUST GOT COVINGTON who fits exactly what they needed. Not even a Portland fan, but I think they will be top 4 in the West and that’s not a “hopeless” situation
Great video Andy🏁
if i was the blazers i'd ask for lavine and young in exchange for mccollum,lavine seems to be more complete of a player
bulls wouldn’t do that trade
What reason do the bulls have for accepting that
Blazers would have to add more assets for the Bulls to consider that trade, Lavine is younger and slightly better imo
@@conner8353 To get rid of a frustrated player, Lavine will check out mentally and could possibly be on Load Management.
Lavine’s defense is very bad off ball and his playmaking skills are meh. As a huge Bulls fan I’d love to dump him somewhere else. Not for CJ though even if CJ is my 2nd favorite player
The Blazers have a very good team this season they got their 3rd guy in Covington and Nurkic and Collins both are gonna be fully healthy as well as Hood and Melo off the bench and more Wing depth with derrick jones jr
Nurkic is nice if mccollum keeps getting better and lillard does his thing and role players play well they can be a 3rd seed
Don’t sleep on the Blazers. They had a ton of Injuries last year. They also got some new defense pieces this off-season.
The Rockets are in a worse situation than the Blazers. I he's including Dame, include Harden too. Similarly, the Warriors are aging, they lack good bench pieces and seems to be injured often. Sabonis is also stuck but no one really cares about Indiana. I want to see what happens with the Sixers but I see them at their peak as it is.
Need more draft videos Andy 😭 and u should do a whole video on a bunch of under appreciated players of the 2000s like Okur, Mashburn, Richard Jefferson, Stephen Jackson, Rashard Lewis, Josh Howard, Antwan Jamison, Jalen Rose... like make it all one video
Poor fellas, hope they get traded to the best team, the Utah jazz
Andy! why do you never disappoint with these videos!
Goat
ever since derozan moved to the spurs ive became a huge fan of them, and they are a super underrated team, all of them, their first game of the season yesturday was amazing and i think that shows you they have potential
Pause at 8:54 and observe Jimmy Butler's face and note his work hard demeanor. Now imagine a scenario where his on your team and you ain't working hard. Then imagine this image of Jimmy popping from the side when he sees your laziness 😂😂😂
lol, dame are you kidding me? You mention portland had a losing record last year with dame playing his best while picking up all the other pieces AND COMPLETELY IGNORE the team exploding with injury? You know, the reason portland picked up all those other guys to begin with? You also didn't mention once all the great pick ups they did this off season. What a laughable take. People always sleeping on the blazers, every single year.
Brotha you are right on the money! This idiot thinks ohh well the blazers are a small market team so it must be a bad situation! Even tho they always attempt to put pieces around him and have made the playoffs 7 strait times! You should be making videos and have 300k subs not this non basketball knowing jackass
The problem is they need better. It isn't bad, but it could be better on a better team like the Celtics or just anywhere with a better center like the mavs. It is sad overall that Portland can't get the help due to their lack of additional media or even anything that separates them from somewhere like New York or LA (Heck even Boston)
@@zachwilsonsburner2037 bruh it’s not like the blazers are bad it’s just they aren’t that good. It’s an unfortunate situation because he’s a top player but he’s not gonna win a championship in Portland.
Doesn’t matter the blazers are never going to get pass the second round with how stacked the west is
And now they're all injured again, it's tough being a Blazers fan
Spurs had 5 players out in the bubble and they went 5-2 in the bubble. If it was a full regular season the spurs would of made the playoffs.
lmao demar and blake being the thumbnails hilarious in hindsight now
now the bulls have an interesting roster. cant wait for you to make video about them
Dwight Howard is probably grateful that he finally won a championship with the Lakers, so he'll at least he retire with a ring and not be featured among many lists of 'superstars who never got a championship'
Derozan, Blake, and Love are all still very good players who can be that 3rd piece on a championship team, I really hope they get traded to a different team by the deadline
Love is washed. Blake if he could just stay healthy would be very very good and Derozan isn’t someone who can contribute to a championship team by nature but he could carry a team like the Knicks to the playoffs
Love isnt anywhere close to a 3rd option on contender he cant even lead the cavs to a 10th seed
I agree with KAT situation but you didn't mention Ricky Rubio trade. He might not be a superstar, but he's really good making his teammates better, and that could be what Russel and Towns need to get to the next lvl.
I'm from Brazil and I'm your fan, great job
As a spurs fan this dude tripping we have like 6 or 7 guys filled with potential, just my opinion though
Lmfao ok looks like we have a new skip bayless. Andy you're reaching on that Lillard one.
I never thought that I will see SpongeBob Squarepants and El Clasico the biggest football or in general match in the world on Andys channel, lmao :D
We've finally seen someone leave their terrible situation and IMMEDIATELY contribute and show that they were in a hopeless situation: AD
DDR and LMA in San Antonio
Congratulations to Blake Griffin for joining the Nets.
Andy sweats videos are sickkk
It’s been a year and most of these superstars are out of these situation
Demar DeRozan should be on a better contending team than the San Antonio Spurs , for the first time , I can actually say that for the first time, the Spurs aren’t as good as they once was
Spurs are not that bad it’s just derozan is a bad player people forget that kawhi took this same spurs team in the playoffs and only lost to Warriors due to an injury
@@DvnFitness not the same team tf
Jayden Sluder pretty much just add an old Ginobili, old gasol and Danny. Pretty much the same talent is what I’m saying.
Troy weaver completely reshaped the pistons roster this year, so we’ll see how Blake looks with the new looking pistons
Im glad you started this with this is an inevitable issue. There will always be guys who dont get the help they need to win more
Lets not act like Beal, Demarr, and especially Blake aint never had help. THey had their chances
So this video is why superteams form or why two star players pair up in an effort to win a ring.
Sus with the spurs comments 🤨 tbh cmon Andy
HOLD up dammmmmmm u know dame got CJ McCollum who is progressing and Damian lillard who just got 95 overall in nba 2k they have a good team I bet u they will win the next season
Perfect example of "If you don't win a title you're a loser" mentality. Lillard and the Blazer were in the conference finals just a couple of years ago and the team was decimated by injuries last year. They arguably got much better this past off season. I'd hardly describe Dame's situation as hopeless.
Leaving everything aside I just like the starting music
All those guys you mentioned that Portland added were in and out of the lineup the whole year last season. This year will be hopefully one of the first fully healthy seasons we’ve had in a while
Coming from a Spurs fan and a guy that also loves the raptors demar is never ever going to win a ring as a number 1 or number 2 option
Same for every guy on this list
all hope is not lost..
Derozan and Lavine are in a contending team with Chicago.
Same as Griffin with Nets and Westbrook with the Lakers.
The same cannot be said with the KAT in Minnesota.
Hopefully Dame can be traded with Sixers for Ben Simmons.
Many players are not necessarily stuck in a bad situation; they are just not good enough to make their teams better. We need to stop overvaluing players based on past performances.
Bulls are starting to show some upside especially from this offseason, give em time
I don't think anyone who isn't a bulls fan actually knows what is going on with this team. It seems like all they know are popular buzzwords (garpax, losing record, young, Boylen). There have been a number of videos in the past year that refer to the bulls at the point of the video that reference outdated front office, players, situations, etc. as if they are currently involved or on the roster. No one outside of our fanbase even seems to notice that we have a new front office, a decent young core and a new coach.
I hope so. I'm no Bulls fan but I am a Bruins fan so I root for Lavine. At this point, I think they gotta win at least 30-35 wins
As a Bulls fan we still have a long way to go. Every player on our team plus the new draft picks are toss ups. Hopefully new management sets us up for free agency though
Them 7 needs to demand trade ASAP, come together and win a Championship in Lakers lmao
As a raptors fan Washington's backcourt was the biggest rivals in the east to lowry n derozan, the teams had similar paths crazy how the raptors continued to grow n Washington went into a rebuilt after Wall got hurt.
I think the Bulls are still growing. They just have to realize Lavine is really their future superstar and build around him. I always thought they could make a 3 team deal with the Spurs and Pistons where they get DRose, and Demar Derozan. They probably wouldn’t cost much they are getting older and their teams are looking to hopeless to really know what they are doing. The Bulls get 2 leaders that can probably get them to the playoffs
I would add James Harden on this list. Like they'll make a decent playoff spot, but with teams like the Mavs, Suns, Nuggets and Jazz on the rise, the Rockets aren't gonna make it further than the 2nd round
Yeah the rockets’ championship window is completely closed at this point, I thought they would be contending for a while but it’s over now. Harden needs to get out of there
Making millions of dollars per season is a hopeless situation?
Count your blessings not every player can be a champion
maurice mentis Hopeless situation meaning being stuck on a shitty team.
Your a 🤡🤡🤡
It's not always about the money. Players want to win and get their ring.
@@TheHuskyK9 True, even though many players care more about just getting paid, when they should realize that they can get both if all goes well.
@@TheHuskyK9 I understand that but like I said not everyone can be a champion
I bet KAT and Wiggy wish they had worked harder for Jimmy Buckets. Now there is a winner.
Uhh
As a timberwolves fan I have high hopes for the 20-21 season. We have the #1 draft pick anthony edwards and d-lo and towns.
i would take yall situation anyday. Coming from a bulls fan
Andy Hoops you never disappoint my guy 👏👏👏👏👏👏 🔥 🔥 🔥
True 👍
Its sad really to see Devin Booker potential being wasted and Damien lillard and bradely beal man imagine if they were in a championship or playoff team
Dame is on a playoff team, Beal and Westbrook will be a playoff team, and Booker has CP3 and Ayton which is really good
@Richard Davis You just hate Westbrook
@Richard Davis You're Daddy LBJ will never be the GOAT over MJ. So you're unleashing youre anger on Russ cause hes on Jordan brand and not youre daddy LBJ
@Richard Davis Who cares. The point ls the Wizards will still easily be a playoff team which is significantly better than where they have been the last 2 years. You can't really demand much more than that atm.
I've been saying this for years; Lillard and CJ just won't win together. They have similar play styles and too much of a good thing is always bad. ALWAYS. Their skills are redundant and neither one of them makes the other one better. They just take turns. Yes, Lillard is way better, still doesn't change the fact that they play almost the same way. Ball dominant guards who love to shoot. Look at Steph and Klay. Steph is a creator and Klay is a catch and shoot guy
many of these players chose to be that way
for example, Demar DeFrozen staying with the Spurs this coming season, because he just picked up his players option big fat cheque this season because he wanted the money more than winning a championship ring; contending teams like the Lakers invited him to join with a lower payscale he turned away...
they love to be chase rings, but they love money even more
not going to blame them, their career lifespan is too short not to capitalize the opportunity.
but instead of saying they 'stuck in hopeless situations', let's be honest...they wanted it that way...
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wizards will be fine, they have tons of shooters, and Westbrook is a star that puts up superstar stats. Rui and Deni have bright futures.
Well they're defense is questionable. You still need defenders
@@darraarljod8911 that is true, harder to find offense then defense
Westbrook isn’t a star.. he was exposed long ago
@@thuggwaffle8825 27/8/7, 4th seed in the west, made the all star team, nba third team
@@thuggwaffle8825 he is a star, not a superstar.
This video is brutal
You forgot about Kevin Love. I think the case of Lillard is not extreme as the others, overall he have a really good career as a Blazer. They have a worse season than the 2018-2019, but a small market team with no big names signings, reaching the playoffs for 6 straights seasons including good 2 great playoffs runs is not bad. We want our favorite players to win that ring, but at the end just one team win the championship, out of 30, and there most likely to be big markets signing or trading for big names. It's crazy to think how bad were the Lakers since 2014, but signing LeBron and trading for Davis made them win the championship this year, meanwhile Portland just can reach the playoffs and get eliminated in the same period of time. It is what it is.
Don't forget KAT lost 7 family members including his mother due to covid-19. That might be detrimental to his game.
He literally said NOTHING about Kats game, smh...he said his team isn't a good wn supporting cast.
You including Lillard is a HUGE mistake
It's true
@@chilldoc9638 yup facts
He is. Lillard is MVP type of player that probably will never get the ring. Blazers also has very limited room to improve with almost no draft pick, ageing supporting role and bad contracts.
@@ivanott7196 he is loyal and i refuse to believe that. Any team can be great with the right mix of players and i think we got that
I feel for Blake. His situation is why I really don't mind players being able to move as freely as possible. Stop showing loyalty, cause teams don't always reward that.
Dames gonna be fine. Excited for the Blazers roster this year. We’ve had injuries to key players down the stretch in the past. If we’re healthy come playoff time - we can make a deep run.
