    Baldwin doesn't seem to have the poise he had last year.

    This is not on him. He didn't acquire these players.

    To be fair, Utah was going with their backups, Portland was going with the end of the bench.

    Trent looks clunky doing anything other than spotting up or 1-2 dribble pull ups

    With Simons, it's not even about him hitting shots yet.. its the fact that he makes moves and has a pace of an all-star level scorer, even though he's barely 19 and needs to add 15pbs of muscle.

    This shouldn't spoil the fact that the team looked great about 1-8, and that's without Harkless and Turner (who was our biggest positive the last game).

    Players have built twelve-year careers on that.

    So it seems that their end of bench guys are better than the Blazers end of bench guys.

    For all the hype Biggie Swanigan has had he sure doesn't seem to deserve it.

    Baldwin still is unimpressive.

    And i'm not sure how i feel about the new shot clock rule. Resetting at 14 seconds on a offensive rebound?

    I was especially happy to see Stotts START the game with the three-combo-guard lineup, and it was like rocket fuel. If Curry can stay healthy...

    It doesn't. Blazers are going to be solid in the regular season with their rotation players. With Harkless it will be even better. I'm excited
