    When you look at it that way, 8-6 is a great record. We're 4-6 on the road. That's not bad at all. Now we have to sweep our homestand. Sac, Mia, NO, all winnable.

    It should have been obvious but I hadn't thought about it that way. Thanks, will sleep better tonight.

    Was it Speed's soothing voice that made you sleepy?

    Absolutely...Really couldnt have asked for a better start. Better win those first two (and should)...third game would be a gravy win.

    Well I totally thought that the back-to-back wasn't going to be a big deal for them tonight.

    Fuck.

    At least the Beavers won.

    The schedule will even out for everyone except the Lakers and Clippers, who each get two extra home games. We'll be fine.

    Yes, yes it was. Either it was that, or your posts causing me to laugh myself sleepy.

    I think we're going to KILL the Kings. We'll be pissed about this loss against the Suns and we will stick it to them. Our shooting will come back at home. The crowd is hungry to see another Oden dunk too.

    I'm pretty pleased about the record we have so far. I was thinking that this team would be in bad shape and the fact that we're over .500 right now is awesome. I think that Portland is going to be fine, the baskets just shrunk on us tonight, that happens. The Blazers need some good home cookin and next week is going to supply that.

    I had absolutely no idea what our record would be. No martell? Oden coming back from missing a season? Adding a few players? I had no idea, and can't say that I could be happier. Great exciting season so far.

    Seems to me that many of our shots were very close but rimmed out. That happens. We will win some we are not "supposed" to and lose some we should win. They are doing better than I had hoped.
