    man, i wonder if lma coming in next game is gonna slow us down at all? i know nate will likely want to hold the ball to make sure there isnt any turnovers on the fast break, and make sure lma gets his post ups...but damn, lma likes to run too!

    this could be good

    Hey guys, nice effort from that team tonight eh? It'll be interesting to see how this goes round two in a couple of nights and when they get LMA back into the fold, but overall this looks like a pretty balanced team that has enough horses to push the edges on defense and maybe enough fire power to put up some points. Not bad.

    Word. I can get behind these guys. Let's just stay away from injuries and we'll be great. 45 wins?

    THIS and repped... Reminds me a lot of the 98-99 Blazers. No real stars, but a nice team effort. Also, this will help our defense as well. The more "Team" they implement, the better their help D will develop. GO BLAZERS!

    A week and 1 preseason game and all of the sudden the optimism is running wild in this joint.

    This is a very good team. As KingSpeed said, we need to stay away from injuries. If we have reasonable luck with regard to injuries we are going to be in the thick of things.

    Since we added Crawford, Smith, and Thomas I've been saying we are actually better than last year. Much more usable depth. Also Nolan Smith doesn't look that bad

    Nah I think we all know this is just a pre-season game. The energy was really good. It was 100% a team effort. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a different 2nd scorer every night.

    Did anyone else notice we were trapping and trying to run more. Maybe Nate's quote "We are looking to run more" actually will happen this season?

    Great Night; my Niners win convincingly, Blazers win with inspired team ball, and Lakers dynasty being dried up by the Clippers!
