    Mark it up in the books, games 1-5 will be losses now that Kingspeed has guaranteed wins.

    I hate the Clippers so much. The players, the coaches, the commentators, the fans, the logo, the name, the jerseys, everything. They literally just add more players I hate every year.

    For me, it's between them and the Rockets. They're virtually a carbon copy of each other. Harden might be the player I hate most in the league, but I hate Doc Rivers the most of any coach, so they cancel each other out. Rocket fans are definitely my most hated though. There is nobody even close.

    By the way correct me if I'm wrong, but I say we demote Strennus from making gamethreads. He is 0-1.

    I'm afraid of what this game will do to the blazers confidence. They were playing free and easy all pre-season, but they get this lead, got some push back and they got tense, everyone but Dame had this deer in the headlights kinda look. Total ass kicking of epic porportions after the 1st.

    Dame had great game except for the turn over. But when they share the ball there pretty good team so dame and CJ you don't have to do it all. Von had a good and CJ also. But not bad pre-season but all our players back healthy.

    It's okay. We have a true leader who will get our guys back on track. We're a great team. Preseason results mean nothing,

    I hate to say it but I agree. No one but Dame looks capable of performing in tense, clutch moments.

    I thought we wanted to lose as many games as possible this season?

    Saying this for years
    This is kind of what I am expecting for the regular season, a team that is dangerous and exciting but just is too young yet and doesn't have enough consistent scoring. When the Clippers started to come back, you need to get to the line, stunt the momentum, make a couple of free throws. We just jacked up 3s and wild shots.

    Crabbe misses a couple, his confidence seems to disappear and his defense seems to get sloppy. Damian and CJ try to do too much. Vonleh isn't ready yet. Harkless is an enigma. Our two most proven bigs are garbage scorers, not low post threats. I just think that combination will making wins scarce THIS SEASON.

    And I've said this before, I am fine with that. I think some guys will "get it" as the season goes on, hopefully we add a decent piece in next year's draft and maybe another through a trade or free agency. But I'm not buying 30 wins for this team ... with all the teams in the West capable of winning 50, they are going to be beating someone. If the Blazers do well, then I am pleasantly surprised. If they don't, unless there's some kind of meltdown and no one shows improvement, I will be happy to see them compete and learn and make progress and hopefully end up with a higher ceiling than the team of the past three years ran into.

    FUCK THAT GAME!

    How in the fucking hell do you blow a 35-point lead? I could give two shits whether or not it was a preseason game. I have never seen a Blazers team lose a lead that big and in such a hurry. This has to be some sort of record, right? Maybe if Coach Stotts would teach shot selection, we wouldn't jack up deep jumpers early in the shot clock.

    Listen, I didn't expect to make the playoffs, but one should expect this team to hold onto a 35-point lead, right? Is that really too much to ask?

    I'm glad we don't play until Wednesday night. I can't even think about Blazers basketball after that second half shit show.

    Dame was great tonight but his 3 point shooting is still terrible. Also had 8 turnovers as well, needs to tone those down.

    His finishes and speed is fantastic right now. Defense was suprising he really improved that

    I might be being overly negative right now but I just do not have faith in Crabbe or Leonard to actually step up this season. I feel like they are both going to disappoint.

    I'm not upset at all. The Blazers have very little experience on this team. There will be more nights like this.
