    They don't look any better than last year, and that wasn't good enough then. We look to have more talent, but given how many changes we made, it will take time to gel.

    oh well. get the next one. but yeah the 3 point shooting is an issue. You cant miss as many wide open 3 point shots as we did tonight. Thats what bad teams do.

    One would hope, but the Blazers 3 point defense this year (well, pre-season and tonight) has been inept at best.

    I have called Portland’s “overperformance” for years.

    I think Portland takes a step back this year.

    Even if we lose there's sooo much to be happy about and build on.

    Just glad the season is here!

    I think it's gonna take a month for the team to start gelling, and by January, they'll be a much better team.

    I’m encouraged. If CJ has a halfway decent shooting game we probably win. It’s a tough draw to get an upper half western conference team for your opening game when you have so many new pieces.

    Dame was Dame.
    Hassan looks like a major difference maker.
    Zach had a very nice game.
    Love Baze’s hustle.
    Skal played some nice minutes.
    Hood was steady.

    Blazers basketball is back!

    That will only help Jokic, as he can stand to lose a few pounds or 50.
