    I'd actually like knight. I think a three man Pg sg rotation with those three could actually work out where each get 30+ minutes

    By those three I meant lillard, Cj and knight

    Before the season started I picked Phoenix to win this game. Now I'm thinking it's either a push em or we have the advantage.

    1 Our team practicing a month before the season really helped. We have amazing chemistry for a group with so many new faces. That bodes well for us the first month of the season when the rest of the league is not at their peak. Physically all our players are in excellent shape; better than the rest of the league at this point of the season.

    2 Phoenix has some new pieces and never successfully integrated the Bledsoe/Knight tandem. It will take them time to develope that chemistry. While Markieff might be on board now his trade demands certainly delayed training camp and early season preparations.

    3 Home court advantage has largely been eliminated in the last few years. Previously refs had an impact from the crowd but the NBA has much stricter protocols now. Teams now only have an advantage from travel and being more rested at home. In the regular season often the road team is on a back to back or arrived late while the home team is rested. Neither of those apply to this game. So far this season home teams are 9-11. That trend continued months into last season.

    Go Blazers!

    Absolutely no problem. Not sure how long it will last though. I have been working for Kenny Carr on the Sellwood bridge for the last 6 months. Sounds like i might be going back onto the project for a bit. Time becomes tough to come by when work take precedence.
    While i got time i love doing these.

    It's going to be so fun seeing CJ go off one night, and then Dame go off the next. I hope tonight is a good example of that!

    In a vacuum I think Dame score more, but Dame seems to draw more attention and the better defender, which leaves CJ open for better opportunities. I'm guessing CJ.

    Dragic was our biggest problem in the past. Without him the kryptonite is gone. Some suspect Morris is dogging it because of the trade of his brother. We will see tonight.

    Wouldn't that be dinner, then? Or are you saying that Knight is going to barf up his lunch on the court, and CJ's gonna eat it up like a dog?

    We have always had the most issues with Dragic.

    Glad he's gone.

    He was far and away their best player. Him with Channing Frye, Plumlee down low, Bledsoe helping attack was a hell of a team. They gutted that exciting core, didn't get any good prospects and traded away that insanely valuable Lakers pick. I don't get it.

    Mostly because we had poor help defense from the front line.

    Yes. Kenny Carr Construction. He's been doing it since he retired. Maybe before. I believe at least one of his sons works for him. I coached both his sons in youth baseball and he was a hard, no nonsense taskmaster. Kinda like how he played

    I walked on tip toes around him but he never interjected himself into game or made a fuss if he didn't like how I did things. Very quiet. His wife was (still is I imagine) a wonderful person and great parent as far as team mothers go. And dressed up our bleachers significantly....
