    I'm still having a blast watching this young team. There is a lot to like, it's a long road but I think we're in the fast lane to future success.

    I haven't lost faith in this team, we can still make the playoffs. And hell, if we don't we get to add another young piece to this growing team. We are in a great spot rebuilding wise.

    We just need to be patient, supportive and enjoy the positives!

    Hear hear! And you know what? No one is beating Golden State this year so let's just enjoy the season and enjoy the Warriors' greatness while we can. In about 4 years, it will be our turn.

    I love this team. I like the youth, I like the scrap, I like the heart.

    It gets better.

    It's an 82-game pre-season, as far as our expectations go. Not terribly great if you're super-competitive, but if you're okay with just taking this season to relax and enjoy, it'll be fun.

    I like the heart and hustle. I like the improvement and imagine the upside. I can live with losing games as long as I have that stuff. So much better than the abomination that was the Felton Year ....

    Thanks. I had managed to eliminate that from my memory.

    In fairness, those were young guys that didn't have NBA games and we were throwing stuff at the wall hoping something would stick. They just lacked any ability. That team with Felton turned out to be a bunch of guys with ability who decided to tank on their own.

    I haven't done it myself because losses for this team don't distress me in the least, but somebody around here had a great suggestion (If I could remember I'd give credit where it's due). Put some masking tape over the boxscore while watching the game and I'll bet your enjoyment goes up about double. This team plays hard, CJ and Dame are going to put up a lot of points this season and guys like Davis, Aminu, Plumlee (and probably Henderson and others) play with so much energy that it's easy to like them regardless of how spastic and bad they look at times.

    This team might not win 30 games this year, but I'm already having way more fun watching games this year than I did all of last season.

    I wonder, thinking back on it now, if LaMarcus was the one who got Crawford and Camby and Felton to force Nate out... (of course, I'm still convinced it was LA, not Roy, who demanded Zach be traded)

    See, the only problem I have with that theory is that Roy was a true Alpha Dog. LA strikes me more as the passive-aggressive jerk who doesn't want to come right out and say anything because being liked is a big part of his outward persona.

    Good grief, LA is a sociopath!

    Well, of the 4 possibilities:

    Blazers win, aldridge plays shitty
    Blazers win, aldridge plays well
    Blazers lose, aldridge plays shitty
    Blazers lose, aldridge plays well

    we got the worst outcome

    But this game had its moments, anyway . . .
