    our bench is not going to be good this season I’m afraid. I’ve said it all preseason. I love Simons I think he’s going to be good but u can’t really rely on such a young dude like that. I hope I’m wrong

    Get the next one...lot to like about the defense...shots will fall and the bench will learn to play together...it shows nothing is second nature with most of the new guys.

    Well, Tolliver need to sit his ass down. 9 man rotation is enough. We can get minutes out of Pau once he's clear too.
    If Ant get's going the bench will be decent. The whole bench unit is comprised of people who never played together too, I'll give them some time.

    cuz his lead feet led directly to wide open Jokic threes? Why Zach was removed for Tolliver, I dont understand. But game was over by then.

    None of this matters if CJ had showed up

    I thought our guys gelled well together and our defense was decent. We just couldnt hit a shot to save our lives.

    The 2nd unit needs to relax and go play. Some of the players looks like deer in headlights.

    Thank you. I'd love for C.J. and Stotts to read this. People who know what good basketball is DO NOT APPRECIATE this kind of basketball C.J. and Terry.

    This is exactly what i am seeing.
    Lots to be excited about. Whiteside put on a show!
    Bazemore was a beast!
    Dame looks solid as ever!
    Collins is getting better every time i see him play!
    Hood showed he is worthy!
    The Blazers have been the beneficiaries over the last couple seasons of being the team that returned players. This year it isn't the case.
    Only two returning starters. 8 new faces.
    Also Denver returning 12 players and it showed without question.

    He couldn't hit anything. He had shots halfway down that came out.

    5 turnovers. 5.

    I didn't even know it was possible to turn the ball over that many times, go 4/26-whatever, and still be in the starting lineup.

    Whiteside would have had an easy 20 points if CJ could figure out that on the rotation when he drives to the hoop with 2 or more guys coming at him,...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................there is a 7'1" center with a 7'7" wingspan either all alone or with a guard rotating over to him.

    FIGURE IT OUT
