    They are passing better than us and getting down the court faster.

    I'm not worried, and I'm not pissed. I am, however, frustrated at how undisciplined they are on defense.

    I have no idea what to expect from the Blazers in the first game. I guess a lot of CJ and Lillard on offense.

    Yeah hopefully it's just a learning moment for them. They basically have let them get into a rhythm to the point they're hitting everything now.

    This is some of the worst defense I've seen in recent history from this team.

    Deserve this ass kicking

    I don't expect it to get much better... This is gonna be an issue in the regular season.

    Isolations. Handoffs. Pick n Roll. Shotty defense.

    I expect Denver to annihilate the Blazers.

    The one positive of seeing this with their starters in the preseason is they'll have a lot of tapes early on when they still have some time to fix it. It's on video now their rotations and closeouts are not crisp at all, there seems to be no communication defensively either. Just trying to look at the bright side.

    I expect everything to work itself out once @Darkwebs starts making game threads again.

    Lack of trust also; sometimes cheating off their guy when they think a teammate needs help, and usually he doesn't.

    You can't go for steals when you should be making rotation I've seen that a few times as well. It just leaves someone open. I'm sure that they're going to fix at least some of it.
