    Pre-Season is so freaking boring. They always call 3x as many fouls.

    Grabbe looks like he's all over the place. I like it. Earn that paycheck!

    The problem I have with Turner is that he dribbles the ball SO HIGH. It's like he's trying to wing the thing up to shoulder level. Keep it down low!

    I think Turner can eventually be a starter for us, but not yet. We do things way differently here in Portland than Boston does. He's going to need lots of time to adjust to that.

    I'm worried that he's one of those players that needs a coach to rein him in a bit, but we have a coach who takes encourages players to basically be undisciplined. That works well sometimes with players who are physically gifted but have never really been given a chance to shine, but can backfire with others. We'll see. Still too early for me to worry too much I guess. It's just preseason and I'm sure they aren't taking it 100% seriously. Still feeling each other and their new roles out.

    He's not looking good as a backup PG either. Napier is making a case for that role.

    Turner is like Scottie Pippen, just not as good at defense, shooting, passing, or finishing.

    I was hoping he could be a slightly poorer man's Iguodala.

    I added that last comment and tagged HCP so he would see it and tell his boss.

    If Turner ever did become a starter, it should be at SG so CJ can come off the bench.

    What's Ezeli's status? I have been distracted by football and work.
