    Dame has looked absolutely atrocious. Hopefully it’s just rust.

    I am hoping that Billups is intentionally not feeding Nurkic because that's what he plans to do for the Blazers opening game in Sacramento. I can understand that. If Sac aren't prepared they could be in for a surprise.

    It would also explain why Winslow isn't playing.

    Maybe the Blazers are low-key tanking, instead of full on tanking like last year.

    Unfortunately for Sacramento this game doesn't count. the Sac announcers don't seem to understand this.

    Has Dame had a good game with Chauncey as coach? More to the point, have the Blazers had a good game with Dame playing and Chauncey in charge? It's all coming back how our team only looked good after Dame went down last year (in that short run leading up to the All Star game, before they shut EVERYBODY down and committed to tanking). Chaunceyball and Dame are like oil and water.

    Nobody should deny Sacramento fans any joy they can get. God knows they've suffered enough.

    Sacramento is playing like they're track stars and the Blazers are playing like they're wearing cement shoes.

    It's embarrassing.

    Maybe they're full-on tanking without having to put anybody on the injured list. Just by the clever tactic of sucking.

    Got ‘em right where they want them. Making them think they can’t play defense and showing absolutely nothing on offense!

    This is Chauncey ball. It’s likely going to be a long year.

    I was afraid Lillard’s game would slow down with age. It’s looking like case.
