    Aminu was terrible last year and he's even worse this year.
    He's not a four... he's a bench 3 who's a good defender.

    Btw, Utah just went into SA and DAL on back to back nights and won handily without their best player.

    We're not taking advantage in the standings with Utah down Hayward and Favors ... this could bite us in the ass come April if we're jockeying for the NW division crown.

    Yeah so I take my words back on them. They kind of have it all. I could see them taking the 4th seed honestly of completely healthy. We still look like a 5-7th seed team. It's depressing

    Our only good win isn't against Utah. Choked against clippers. Rallied and went to OT with Denver, should of never happened. Lost by 30 to golden state and now go to OT with another shit team we should of beat easily and lose. Not looking good

    Utah is good but the Dallas one isn't impressive to me, that team blows.

    But I'm sure we'll give them their first win.

    It's not about that. Look how they are playing. It's nothing like last season. It's off. If they can't figure it out the losses pile up

    We started off bad last season too, we are breaking in a new rotation too. It's gonna take till Christmas to get this shit solid. If we are .500 or higher by then we will be fine.

    That is true, they started last year shitty too. But the thing isn't not that they're 2-3, it's HOW they're 2-3. 2 home losses, and a road loss against a shitty team, and barely winning the games they did win, including one they really didn't deserve.

    You think the Blazers are elite? Not even close, this is a mediocre team, same as last year. It is what it is.

    We've only won in Phoenix four times since 2004. It's a tough place for us to play.

    Explain how we could be 2-3 in a good way. Would it be more impressive if we had two blowouts and three losses where we blew it at the end? What's a good 2-3 look like?

    After starting out slowly last year, it's frustrating to see the team get out of the gates slowly once again, esp one that returned 90% of their minutes from the previous season. I'm not panicking yet, but I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't concerned.
