The Portland Trail Blazers are the best team in the NBA right now. Let that sink in for a bit. They went 33-49 last year and the only major change to their roster was replacing J.J. Hickson with Robin Lopez.
It follows logically that Robin Lopez, and Robin Lopez alone, is responsible for the elevated quality of the Blazers’ play. I took a logic class once so I know what I’m talking about. This is called logical deduction; don’t feel bad if you’ve never heard of it. It’s only for smart people. You can try to argue with me if you want, but you’ll just lose, so I wouldn’t even bother if I were you.
