    I love kl, I want harkless to do well. The clips might be my backup team when they do not play the blazers

    Damn, Kwahi is sooo good. Imagine Dame, CJ and Kwahi with a healthy Nurk.

    First blush, these LA teams are both very good. I'm not looking forward to matching up with them

    My biggest take away so far is LAL's depth may be a really big problem for them as the season goes on.

    No, I thought that may be the case, but actually waited to see what they looked like.

    The only way the Blazers can beat the Lakers or Clippers is if one of their superstars are out with injuries or resting

    A Healthy Nurk, and I think the Blazers have a lot of different ways to attack anyone and their close talent wise. Clippers and Lakers may have the best two players but the Blazers do have a superstar and the next 4 best players on their roster probably. So no the Blazers don't just need injuries to win, they need their players healthy. They also need one of Zach or Simons to play up to what the Blazers are expecting I think that's probably the biggest question marks towards where the Blazers will be at the end of the season.

    He plays a lot more in the paint, he might also average 54 games. That dude does not handle so much contact well...

    Wasn't necessarily saying he wasn't getting fouled but for a while, it felt like every time they gave him the ball in the paint. They were calling a foul.

    Hard to say how good the Blazers will be especially when Nurk comes back. Who knows?

    Just one half, but the Clippers feel significantly better than the Lakers to me. I think the Lakers lack of a legit point guard, or more the lack of a legit offensive scheme, is going to be a problem for them.

    We need more fire power, maybe mid season trade for another star
