) and having 2 second year players be our go to guys, and to be .500 in the toughest conference I have ever seen, I'm ok with callin my squad way above average
That's your opinion, but this ''age'' thing means shit. They're grown-ass adults working in a profession; as a professional, in any field, you should be excelling at your craft at that age, after even 2 years.
And, as a whole, I personally don't see them as "WAY ABOVE AVERAGE", when .500 is middle of the road, or mediocre, and they're squatting on that line.

the "age" thing does matter actually. when you have a veteran on your team that has played in the tough games, taken the big shots for your team thats a huge advantage. the blazers go-to guys were both second year players and they excelled. we are just gonna get bigger, stronger and smarter as we mature, top 5 next season, and the west is gonna be just as strong next year too...
They don't bring up age because it doesn't matter....
they don't talk about bringing in veterans to teams because it doesn't matter, because it does. Because you have been there before
you don't think being in a playoff series before doesn't mean shit??? being around that atmosphere... you know it does
or have been through the last month or two in the season, and making that push to get into the playoffs... you don't think portland playing hard like they can still make the playoffs doesn't mean shit next year when they could be making a run at the playoffs???
you don't think they are gonna go, remember last year how we played and how other playoff teams played, that we have been through this before and have learned from it???? you don't think that pays dividends?

Very, very valid points, my friend. I'm dead-ass serious. No jokes at all. Those are EXACTLY the reasons why veterans matter.
The only problem is that your arguement centers around the playoffs.
The Blazers aren't in the playoff picture.
LOL come on. Shut the fuck up. Go get something to drink and have an e-shot with me.

I know it centers around the playoffs, and who is our most veteran guy???? RAFE!!! and how much does he play 7 min a game! imagine that.... so no wonder we struggled and didn't make the playoffs in the most competitive conference ever in the history of the NBA in my opinion, and still have a .500 record with the 3rd youngest team in NBA History! I have mention that before haven't I???? and have your go to player not be one of your vets but a 23 year old and a 22 year old kid....
and of course I would have a shot with you playa!

^^^ lol, that dunk he had though was legit! those outlaw dunks.... this was the best way to send fans home without making the playoffs, being able to pull players individually so they can get their own standing ovation, just the best way possible this season could end without making the playoffs
I was at the game of course cause I got season tickets, the crowd fuckin loved it, we have something special going on here, the NBA better believe that

^^^youtube is actin janky right now but I hope you know I'm jackin that sig! LOL that shit was crazy! I thought I might have been watchin a replay but I guess he really did it twice. HAHA. TO has to be pretty close to untouchable right now. I'd give him him up if it meant trading up for Rose, but thats about it. 6th man of the year material.
