    Give ‘em 20 games and see what we have. Let’s see if Billups can learn to coach.
    If they can start playing well in the first 20 games they might be fun to watch.

    Clearly? I think our future is as hazy as an HCP photo.

    One thing I don’t see is Billups being a quitter. He will try to win games.

    The guy that makes scoring easier is Winslow.

    Chauncey doesn't care about winning this game. He will care about the games come regular season. He's trying to figure out rotations and fit right now.

    He showed last year he can coach just fine.

    This pre-season is putting bad thoughts in my head. Like maybe the best thing that could happen is if Lillard gets so discouraged that he asks for a trade?

    I'm in a glass-half-full mood.

    Our talent and depth is as hazy as an HCP photo. Especially if it has Sasquatch in the picture.

    Last year was the most we've tanked in a long time, under Billups. He wasn't trying to win and I'm not blaming him for it one bit.

    He was trying to win before we started to tank and he wasn't doing too bad.

    Yes, clearly.

    1. Warriors
    2. Clippers
    3. Suns
    4. Mavs
    5. Nuggets
    6. Grizzlies
    7. Yippin' Puppies
    8. Nawlins

    and there's nothing that makes me think Portland is clearly better than

    9. (healthy) Lakers
    10. Kings

    My wife who knows very little about the game says “ How come the other team is so much bigger?”

    They aren't much bigger though. They're just not ONLY playing short players. hehe
