The top seeded spurs led by Tony Parker will face the red hot Portland Trail Blazers led by upcoming superstar tandem Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge. I think that the Trail Blazers will come out on top in this series but i think it will be a hard fought 6 or 7 game series.

 

Starters

Spurs:

Tony Parker

Danny Green

Kawhi Leonard

Tim Duncan

Thiago Splitter

 

 

 

Trail Blazers:

Damian Lillard

Wesley Mathhews

Nicolas Batum

LaMarcus Aldridge

Robin Lopez

Portland getting blown out right now. The spurs are making them look like a jv squad. Hope Portland can figure it out or this series will be unwatchable and over in 4.

Pop is coaching circles around Stotts in this game, yes no one is surprised. :)

 

 

Yeah, I didn't think about it until now, but this round of coaches is more mismatched.  Pop >>>>>>>>>Stotts , Doc > Brooks and Spo >> KIdd.  The first round I think we saw better matchups all around.  Carlisle is an incredible coach so he and his team hung in there.  Same thing with Mark Jackson & Doc.

 

I really hope the Blazers pull if off though because I'm a huge Lillard fan.  His demeanor is cool as a cucumber.  They def have their work cut out for them.

I'm not calling a Blazers game 2 win or anything but I really think the series will still be very competitive.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
