    Experience trumps inexperience. Blazers not quite ready for the big time.

    She doesn't look real thrilled to be sitting next to him.

    I agree, his philosophy doesn't work for this team, we need to be super aggressive defensively like the LeBron Heat teams essentially. Get out in transition.

    Would Pops allow San Antonio to get into a funk?

    What better way than to take all of Crabbe's playing time?

    There were a lot of people who wrote Henderson off before the season even started. But, even with only a 1-game sample size, I think my initial opinion about him being our best wing was correct. He's going to change the dynamic of the team.

    The bottom line is our pick & roll defensive strategy is not smart. There are some guards where you should go underneath the pick. You need to mix it up and stop doing the same thing every time.

    Henderson's defense was nice. He was actually able to stay with his man.

    Also, Mason jumps at fucking everything. It's called a pump fake man, people use it.

    And familiarity.

    Yes, LMA is a new piece for them, but we revamped 4\5 of our starters and our entire bench rotation. I'm not worried. We really have nothing to be "worried" about in the first place. We are what we are and I'm still having fun. Hendo gave me a pinwheel shaped boner tonight

    I don't care about wins/losses this season. I just wanted that game. I wanted the traitorous piece of shit to lose in Portland.

    ugh.

    I swear in the fourth quarter you could hear the grind, pop and ping as the Spurs' gears started grinding the Blazers up. That team is so methodical and well coached (I'm always a little impressed and jealous when I watch them play).

    Pretty nice showing by the young guys to hang in there as well as they did. I'm fairly impressed with their effort, but just not enough offense outside of the guards and still a long way to go on D.

    I think Stotts is too damn in love with his little strategies. This group of players needs to use their athleticism to be aggressive on defense on not play this conservative shit. That worked better when we had a less athletic group.

    That's the reason he came out of the game. He was gassed and crab had to come in.

    Disappointing to lose, but I'd say we showed pretty well considering we're supposed to be the worst in the West and they're basically a super team of vets. We have a lot more gelling to do, and one of our new players showed pretty well in his first game with us tonight. We didn't play that well after a short stretch early in the game. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about LaMarcus coming back, but now? Fuck him.

    Yes but he had already played more than Crabbe would normally play (because we had to go small).
