    It's NOT too early. It's not a fluke. Dame gathered these guys in San Diego and they're all on the same page. Did you watch the game? Those are our Blazers. What you just saw is what we have. A damn good team. They won't randomly become a different team unless there are a slew of injuries. Will we lose games? Yes, every team does. But the team is CLEARLY faster, deeper, more athletic than last year. They play together as a team. I remember the 2013-14 season. We were killing it and people kept saying we weren't really that good. And we were. And we made the second round. MM said we were mediocre. These pretender experts like MM, Nik, and HCP really don't understand the game of basketball at ALL. 24 wins??? Please.

    Right??? Notice how all of our "talent" that left us sucked tonight? Overpaid losers. We've upgraded at every position. Sorry, Wes.

    Yeah our backcourt dropped 59 on NOLA, where GS could only manage 49.

    Their backcourt defense seems to be total shit so far.

    DUDE, we did this against a rested Warriors team that was playing their starters and trying to win. And we did it against the Clippers even though we lost the game. This has NOTHING to do with our opponent. We are a better team. Even if we lost tonight, we are CLEARLY a better team. Have you no eyes?

    Are you fucking kidding me? We're going to struggle? We are scoring with EASE. It wasn't just because of CJ. The guys play together as a TEAM. You obviously didn't watch the preseason games. We dropped 77 on the Warriors in the first half. You can say it's just preseason but we basically did the same thing tonight and this was a real game. I wouldn't be surprised if we lead the league in scoring.

    No it DOESN'T. The season JUST STARTED. How tired can they be, lol? They're professional athletes. Their contracts require that they deliver in these games. We beat them outright and we won because we have a great team that plays together.

    How am I in homer mode? If we sucked like in the Ha/Telfair years, I would say so and I DID. I never wanted Telfair. I also hated Abdul-Rahim. That team sucked too. And I stopped watching the Felton Blazers because they didn't care, why should I?

    But THIS team is a GOOD TEAM and a lot of you are looking the other way, acting like that's not so.

    Not even Tony Allen could stop CJ.

    Yes, I watched the game. I'm re-watching it now.

    I believe it is too early. One game is far too early. That is my opinion. Allow me to have it.

    Too early for what? To say we're a good team? Isn't that obvious?

    It isn't.

    But you obviously didn't see that I said to allow me to have my opinion. I respect yours, even if I disagree with it right now.

    But, you're in that mode and mood. So I will just steer clear. :cheers:

    I gotta think long term with that team. I already want to make some moves but we only get 80 for the season so I'm just gonna use our matchup as a feel out match. I did do right with CJ though!! Disappointed in Wiggins and Whiteside.

    So you think we're not a good team. Interesting.

    "Too early" means that I am taking time to see a larger sample size.

    I have said that since the pre-season. I have not wavered.

    So if it's raining, you'd prefer to see if it continues to rain all day before you'll conclude it's rain?
