Los Angeles has been going through some stuff lately. Not sure if you’ve heard.
And Portland is 22-27 on the season.
So either accept that Portland is the best team in the west or their game was an outlier and they actually suck (as their record shows).
There's another option of course, the Jazz are playing like **** lately and the Blazers are playing much better than their record would indicate.
Add Utah and the Lakers to that list, that's 4 very high quality wins.meh. Their best wins lately have come against houston, golden state, and Indiana.
You want to box him out, Rudy, not pull him toward you.
