The jazz and nuggets have a lot in common.
1. Best player plays SF
2. Both have good frontcourts
3. Both cities are at a high altitude.
4. PG's have simular game
5. Having troubles finding that SG
6. same division
7. same conference
ect.
I can't wait for the season and the jazz vs nuggets head to head matchups.

Neither has won a championship? That's the one that sticks out to me. I mean the Nuggets had some really great teams back in the 80's, and ditto with the Jazz of the 90's. What's also surprising is that Denver has never even played for a championship in the NBA. That being said with the direction of your respective teams both should be competing in a few years for the top spot. Hopefully the young players in Portland will pan out and we will join you in a few years.
I still think, barring injuries, that Denver will win the division. Followed by Minnesota, Utah, Settle and then Portland

Remind me to never visit here again. At least other team forums have posters who can actually realize that their team isn't elite in every category, and will treat visitors with respect rather than calling them a moron right after their completely invalid point.
I'm sorry you have to stay here, Rawse.

Did you read my post? I said nothing of the sort.
If you don't like the board, just stay away. There's no reason to announce it. You weren't here before, so we could care less if you post or not.
And this board doesn't "circle the wagons", as you're suggesting. Board? What board? There are 5-8 posters who contribute even on a semi-regular basis - there isn't a wagon to circle, unless it's one of those Radio Flyers from back in the day.

Portland could surprise some people, because along with a wealth of talent, they actually added quality depth.
That said, I think they may be the most promising team in the division. There is too much talent on the team for them not to pan out somehow. The Nuggets have talent too, but they're riddled with bad contracts, internal conflicts, and poor on-court balance.

We can blame that on jordan can't we. Same with the blazers, you got screwed out of one too. Jordan was just WAY too good. NO team in the Northwest has won a championship, it's really sad.

Portland won with Bill Walton in 1977, if I remember the year correctly.

You are correct Rawse. However, you did miss another one. The Sonics also won a championship in the 70's. I am not a Sonic's fan, so I don't know the exact year, but I think it was after the Blazers championship in the late 70's. I am sure one could look it up in a second or two, but, I am not in the mood right now...hehe
Prunetang
Ok, so maybe I did feel like it afterall.
I just looked it up, and the Sonics championship was in the 78-79 season over the Washington Bullets. The team starred Fred Brown and Jack Sikma and had Lenny Wilkens as the head coach.

Re: Breaking down the Northwest
The Nuggs won an ABA championship in the 70's.
Little known fact, did you know that the first all-star game in the ABA was held in Denver? It was actually the ABA All-Stars vs. the Denver Rockets! The Denver Rockets won...

Re: Breaking down the Northwest
Both of those were before I was born. I was born in the 80's, not 70's. Ok, no team in the Northwest has won a championship in the last 30 years, there we go.

Re: Breaking down the Northwest
You were still right. They won in the ABA, not hte NBA.
I wasn't trying to prove anything, it was just a cool fact.

No, Thomas and his guys weren't the only ones in the wrong Saturday. The Nuggets have their own issues. But when it was over, at least they weren't crying, at least they weren't punking.
It's all gone in New York now – the pride, the respect, the dignity. This isn't just a bad team; this is a bad act. A once proud franchise and fan base brought to its knees as its pathetic coach makes excuses and whines for mercy.
