    Ok Simons is the real deal. They hype surrounding him definitely makes sense. Still don’t think he’s good at running the point. He’s cj basically forced to play the 1

    Nassir Little sucks. Makes total sense why he was almost dropped from the 1st round. The scouts definitely pinpointed that accurately

    He sucks. He’s basically Rondae Hollis-Jefferson offensively

    Yeah that transition 3 with two guys wide open was tough to watch.

    Appreciate the effort on D though. Much more attentive than the first game.

    Positioning isn't always there though. Doesn't play 2 on the weakside that smartly. Often over commits.

    Idk...we said the same thing about Batum in summer league and he ended up starting as a rookie. I think Little will look better with talent around him.

    Portland's filler guys are much more 'me' focused than last year.

    I don't know why you guys are so hard on Trent. I like him, he's got NBA level skills. Reminds me Wesley Matthews without the defensive intensity. He's on his way to contributing in year 3 like all of Portland's second rounders.

    Certain Blazers fans: Trent's a chucker.

    Trent: Not shooting well, but has five boards, three assists and two steals in like 10 minutes.

    Certain Blazers fans: Trent's trash.

    If Dame plays the whole 1st quarter again next year, I'd like to see Terry try to align Simons' minutes with Dame's as much as he can by sitting CJ early in the first and third.
