    For the season the answer is yes for me, they are more fun to watch. Tonight's game of course not. If we have a serious starter injured it will get ugly muy rapido

    No offense but you're one of the most bi-polar poster on this board when it comes to this stuff, so I wouldn't be making threads like these calling others out. Lillard alone makes this team more interesting than anything post-Roy era.

    I agree. On the whole, they are more fun to watch than last year. A big part of that is because of Lillard.

    Yes King, I agree, Lillard is not fun to watch. Where are the trolls that says he is fun?!?

    What a mistake. I missed a game far superior in effort to watch this clown Aldridge smile like Mr. Cool every time he fumbled yet another easy layup into yet another turnover. I'll watch the Stampede now, recorded on YouTube. Claver and Barton will at least give good effort. And not smile if they don't.

    totally agree, this is going to be a long year, anyone who does not get that is not using common sense - then again the poster who started this thread often does not

    Pretty much agreed. This team is fun to watch when its scoring and not caring about D but when we have a lot of injuries/foul trouble it gets ugly fast. Its a bad team with upside (upside being it can beat any team they play, just don't expect it on a regular basis).

    This team was plenty of fun to watch - that is UNTIL KINGSPEED STARTED ATTENDING GAMES!

    It was fun to see Lillard do pretty well again, funny to watch Leonard run around like a one-man stampede, and Outlaw doing what he always did for us against us made me grin a bit.

    This team isn't very good, but even in a blow-out loss to a mediocre team, there's fun stuff.

    I probably shouldn't start any more game threads either.

    It's a problem with the whole NBA. Too many half-ass effort type games. The games would probably be more entertaining if they played less and spread them out.

    58-game season (balanced; play each opponent twice). Two or three days off between games. 12-team playoff where the top 4 teams get a bye in the 1st round while the next 8 teams play a best of 5.

    an idea I've supported for years. Less quantity of games = more quality of play because of extra downtime to heal, practice time to get better & individual games being more important. NBA fans aren't nearly as geeked out about historical records as say baseball fans, so I don't buy the argument for keeping the season's amount of games the same for the sake of continuity of records.

    I think many agree, but would owners and players accept less money? LOL

    21st in Pace! This run 'n gun stuff is fun to watch! :MARIS61:

    Stotts is in over his head. He has no idea how to use LMA, and has given way too much control and freedom to Lillard on just jacking up 3s.
