    Nolan isn't an NBA player. I said this last year and he's done nothing to sway my opinion.

    That was a very fun game to watch (says this because he's hasn't seen any real ball in SO long).

    nolan is pretty crappy, not sure what he is supposed to ever do that would be useful, maybe if he can at least bring the ball up the court to spell dl

    I think he has NBA talent. He was unstoppable in SL, but I think it's a mental thing. I think he has the same issues that Martell had. He tries too hard. He can't relax. He doesn't have confidence.

    That was a good....well, decent game by the Blazers.

    Certain things were bad, but it's the 1st pre-season game with a new coach, system and like 86 players.

    Lillard was impressive, but had some moments of so-so play. I hope that he continues growing, and I think he will.

    And while beating LA is nice, it was the pre-season, there was no Kobe and Howard.

    In other news, Coach Scott benched Waiters after he botched a play call, not to mention he was one for seven.

    -Gasol moves like an old man.
    -Morrison plays with blinders on.
    -The team was lost when Lillard wasn't running the point.
    -Price is solid. Steady PG.
    -Leonard looked better than any big on the team outside LMA.
    -I barely noticed Nic or Wes.

    Unstoppable in summer league means nothing. Just watch the guy play, he's got nothing that stands out.

    He's also terrible at reading plays and opposing defenses. Calling him a point guard is an insult to point guards.

    I only saw the second half, but I thought he looked more like an NBA player. His handles have improved significantly. I think he can swing backup point guard duty in limited minutes. I thought he did look confident, actually. Trying to split double teams, for example, demonstrates confidence. I thought he was in attack mode.
