    We blasted the Warriors and Clippers (even though we lost that game) and you guys said it was just preseason which it WAS but if you are PAYING ATTENTION, we are better in every aspect of the game this year. MUCH MUCH better offensively. MUCH better defensively. And all this crap about how we only have one quality NBA starter?? Well, guess what? CJ McCollum says FUCK YOU!! Yes, I know the Pelicans made their run which happens all the time in this league but we learned from the Clippers game and pushed back and got our first win of the year. We are FOR REAL. Only 20-30 wins this season? What the FUCK am I missing? I'm not just being a homer. If I thought our team sucked, I would say so. But the team I saw tonight is world's better than last year's crew. And we don't even have Henderson or Alexander. We're deep as hell.

    I pissed it away, tripled it, and made it my own.

    I will always miss Wes, but does anyone really miss Aldridge and Batum?

    It's nice to see 3,4,5 act like they want to get rebounds, like it's important.

    Hey, Aldridge wanted rebounds, but only if a teammate did the boxing out.

    I have no idea if we'll win 30 or 50, but our defense is better than its been in years.

    We just beat a team on a second of a back to back, and they're really not that good of a team.

    Simmer down sugar britches.

    I love watching the team, but you can see how we're going to struggle. We have trouble finding offense at times. Luckily CJ was just unconscious tonight.

    Most people forgot about Batum after the first play by Aminu indicated that he had testicles.

    Yeah we need 22 each EVERY NIGHT from CJ and Lillard to give us a 42+ win season. But I don't know if that's unreasonable.

    You could be right. This game followed the same pattern as many pre-season games. We look brilliant for a stretch, then blow it. But the fact that we're able to jump out to such big leads is still a good sign. I think these Pelicans are a crappy team....but they have some decent names anyway, Davis, Holliday, Gordan, Anderson...

    2nd of a back to back makes a huge difference though.
