    I think there's a good chance Plumlee could be the Blazers starting center.

    Johnson's definitely gone. It's a toss up between Pressey & Montero; I can see reasons to get rid of either 1, only thing w/ Montero is that he might have potential (he's so young & looks so raw... it's so early & I've not seen enough of his play to say if he's got no future or IF it'll just take longer for him to develop) & Pressey's topped out. I would say most likely you're right that Pressey's gone but I wouldn't be shocked if he stayed (I once wanted him to stay, I'm not saying that now though:tongue2:).

    Yeah, Johnson blew that one. Vonleh ran over in a last ditch effort to save the game. Johnson sucks, they'll probably cut him tomorrow.

    In spite of the loss, that was a fun game to watch. Felt like summer league. Impressed with how active Harkless was out there. Got him for NOTHIN'!

    For me, these last two games were a reality check. It looks as if we will struggle even against fairly bad teams. Even with increased freedom and coaching, it seems that Davis and Plumlee will have no inside game besides putbacks. And Plumlee seems to have pretty bad hands. Vonleh and Harkless may have a chance to be something someday but they are both pretty rough and shooting (especially for Vonleh) is suspect. Maybe after a full year they can contribute but I think not much this year. Looks as if Mc Collum will be better, not sure about Leonard. Crabbe has some good spots but seems to disappear at other times. Lillard doesn't seem to have his three point shot back. Overall kind of an average group but I am hoping they can get better and add someone next year.

    My turn to say: "It's preseason."

    As far as the Blazers coaches trying to win that game: No fucks were given.

    Most of the players on the floor in the fourth quarter won't sniff the floor, in this or any other season.

    I'll wait to pass judgement until they are actually playing the actual starting and backup rotations.

    Get back to me after 20 regular season games.

    :cheers:

    Our starters were all positive +/-

    Theirs weren't.

    Our bench needed to step up a bit.

    It's preseason.

    That puts our win projection at 16.4 wins for the entire year.

    Think we'll be a bit better than that. 30-35 wins is a very reasonable estimate.

    I said 20-25. Wouldn't be surprised with 30.

    If anything, I see us winning more in the first half of the season, then the rest of the league catching up with us, then tanking to finish the season.

    That's a very likely scenario.
