    At this point, I would be more inclined to bet on Crabbe's improvement than Henderson's health.

    FWIW, I think Henderson is a decent defender.

    I refuse to go the JinxSpeed route and every other game come with the "I told you so BS"

    For those pissed at me for stepping back and looking at things with a more "realistic" view...... we WILL have more nights this. Maybe not as drastic, but we will hang for awhile in games and then talent will win out. Very bummed we lost this way last night, but wasn't THAT shocking. Go Blazers!

    Detroit is a lot better a team than people expect.

    There's enough players in the league who copy some of his moves.

    Love the young talent on this team but think we are missing a talented combo guard. My hope is that Jamal Murray falls to Portland in the draft. That would ALMOST make up for him not going to Oregon.

    This is what I'm looking forward to. He also slashes and finishes better than Aminu or CJ ...high percentage corner 3pt shooter and a smart vet. I'm glad they're taking their time bringing him back from hip surgery...there's no rush and it gets other guys some burn

    Huh? I'm not really even sure what this means. A moment ago you said that are back to the basket players are not Hakeem the dream like. Well that statement holds true because there is no person who has the back to the basket game like a king the dream. And no one ever will.

    wooshhh
    im not expecting anyone to be like Olajuwon, but there are players in the league who can make the same moves Hakeem did, when they do that they bring back "flashes" of Hakeem.

    yeah, on the road, and to the best team in the league.

    Not exactly the same.

    That we lost, not shocking.

    How we lost, shocking.

    Well... maybe more comical than shocking.

    This is what I was talking about with unreal expectations. We ARE going to lose like this ALOT this year is all I'm saying. The bashing of them isn't warranted. Like Mt Hood CC trying to beat the Ducks. Be great if it happened and you can WISH and WANT them to be better than they are, but it ain't happening.
