    You saying this 15 minutes into the first game is just really bad. Really, really bad.

    Top 14 protected. So if we miss the playoffs, yes. If not, no.

    I don't know where this game thread rant of yours is coming from, but that was pretty savage right there. In fact, it belongs in a '90s battle rap!

    A bench that kept us in the game is a rare positive.

    If it's in the lottery yes. If we make the playoffs the Bulls get our pick.

    Weird. If I were so anti-Dame in the preseason, I probably wouldn't have placed money on his team in the regular season.

    At least we’re not the Lakers. They couldn’t win even with LeBron and AD playing lights out.

    figured he would show up for opening night, for our coach’s first game, after having his loyalty questioned all off season.

    But nope! Too busy cheating on his “wife,” making shit commercials, drinking wine and rhyming like a shittier version of Logic.

    Pretty big difference with the Lakers playing the Warriors though. We lost to the freaking Kings.

    What part are you confused about? You may just be having general cognitive dissonance. This is common with cult followers.

    I watch the highlights I seen a lot thing that are correctable. Like contesting a shot just raising your arm 3 feet away don't cut it. Leaving your feet on close out doesn't work. The last thing be close to a hot shooter that didn't happen against Barnes. That just some things I seen. 1st quarter and the 4th quarter was good defense quarter. One thing that going be a problem is our length especially when our two guards get rotated down under the basket.

    Man this schedule is hard to start off..

    Don’t be shocked Blazers will start the season 0-6 before finally beating Cleveland on the road. No wonder Dame is bracing for the worse with his comments the other day
