    Can we at least get a Simons dunk?

    We shoot way too many long twos early in the clock

    The Denver game highlighted a lot of holes...but we excused it away because Damian and CJ didn't play much, Nurk is out and there are a ton of new guys.

    The Suns game highlighted even more holes, because at least Denver is known for their defense and cohesiveness. What excuse can we tell ourselves tonight? hehe

    I hope, at least, it highlights to them they have a long way to go on the defensive end.

    They let Phoenix shoot about 90 wide open 3 pointers, and the team hasn't yet gotten used to each other.

    Phoenix is going to compete for the pre-season title, that's for sure!

    Bazemore ended up the only Blazer not with a negative +/-. Damon the worst offender with -17, closely followed by Simons at -15.

    Embarrassing all round, I hope.

    Maybe perimeter defense is kind of important in today's NBA?

    Defense was disaster tonight also the turnovers. The offense side CJ shot the ball well and Dame was good too. Zach had really good stat line 16/7/5/2. He shot 7 free throws made 6 that a good sign for being aggressive.

    I wonder if Whiteside will ever fit in. He's not a rookie. Kanter came in and fit in right away.
