    My hope is that the lost part was at least partially due to the fact that he joined the team only 1-2 days before they left for Vegas. That would not hurt his rebounding, but it could have effected his comfort level on offense.

    Anyway I am not expecting him to ever be an all star, but I do have high hopes for him as well.

    He is going to go from a forgotten nobody on his last 2 teams to a fan favorite real quick here. He is going to freaking love the Rip City fans

    Meyers is sounding how we should want. Robin is helping him out quite a bit. He knows he has a lot more work to put in, but Robin is teaching him positioning.

    Here is Tone talking about the defensive impact Robin is giving
    http://www.nba.com/blazers/video/2013/10/03/Oct3Leonardmov-2609975

    -Lopez is pointing at his man and the ball the whole time. (good fundamentals)
    -Watson brings a lot of knowledge to Damian, great technic, uses his body well, keeps his feet square (good fundamentals)
    -They are using the same offense as last year (not a surprise)
    -Tone feels good about the defensive intensity, (although he didn't see their practice last year) the drills look good
    -after looking at all of the other schedules and our schedule, he "really thinks this is a 6, maybe 7 seed in the west

    If you get a chance to listen to the interviews before game 1 and after game 2 he totally changed his attitude, and it showed on the court.

    after watching the video, which is very good. Watch the first suggested video "Robin Lopez - I'm Not Brook". I didn't know RoLo was such a good finisher.

    LaMarcus Aldridge was light and went half court today in practice. Dorell Wright has dislocated middle right finger.

    What is that, five small injuries in 48 hrs? Time to fire the training staff, this is unaccepatable.
