    Being as it is nigh to turn into the 11th here. I figure I ought to get my prediction in for the game. It will happen while I'm at work so won't get a chance to even check on it.

    What do I expect? Sloppiness & more sloppiness.

    What do I hope? Lillard gives Nash a challenge. Someone from the bench shows some potential.

    That said, the prediction:

    Blazers 91
    Lakers 94

    No. Not a lot of confidence in our guys - first game, lack of experience, etc., etc.

    I hope to be wrong.

    the final score in a preseason game like this IMO is pretty meangingless, what I want to see is the new offense and how all the new players and the vets look in it. I expect some sloppiness and know that it will take time, but I want to see some "stretches of play" that impress me. Lillard, Freeland and Meyers are the guys I am most anxious to watch tonight.

    I'm going to foolishly believe that our bench is way better than theirs, and that that will be a major factor in a preseason game.

    My prediction is more about the response to the game rather than the game itself.

    If the Blazers win, national media + Dave from BlazersEdge: "The game is meaningless!"
    If the Blazers lose, national media + Dave from BlazersEdge: "See what I've been saying, Blazers suck! Take the under on the 35.5."

    The only one who can gain any respect nationally tonight is Lillard, he needs to have a good game. Anthony Davis just got 22 and 9.

    Here's my crazy prediction
    Blazers - 93
    Lakers - 73
    I don't think nash/artest/pau/Kobe get more them 10m and I doubt Jamison gets over twenty while I think our starters get a good run.
