    Doesn't matter how hard you push the gas pedal on a Geo Metro, you can only go so fast my friend!

    It actually is hard, because some of them are absolutely certain that we don't know what we have. We do, what we have is, not good enough.

    A lot film of what we shouldn't do in this game. But it's not time to panic and we got week to see improvement from this game.

    Now they have some game film to go off of. Teaching players who have been in a system where they’ve never been held accountable on that side of the ball doesn’t just change suddenly.

    I think the only thing this game showed was that in the 1st half, when the starters played, their defense was better. Still bad, but better.

    The 2nd half showed that having the majority of the players who weren't on the team last year have no chemistry.

    But the biggest thing to take from the game is that Elleby and Blevins both are not NBA players.

    we held them to 42% FG and 34.8% from three, and out-rebounded them.

    the problem was the sheer volume of threes they put up. 69 attempts is insane.

    we need to shore up our turnovers and nas/nance need to show up. im encouraged they will. Ant looked so comfortable. Nurk's ball three looks real.

    But yeah, we won’t be any better than last year. We’re a first round exit waiting to happen.

    Olshey would rather get fired than try and trade to shake up the roster and bring in a good player to help Lillard.

    Iggy just blasted him in the nose. Not sure that is injury prone but he did in fact get injured.

    Lmao one half of starters and guys are already making decisions on how team looks the same. Anyone who thought we’d have a whole knew system all worked out in first preseason game come on. I figured it would take 12-15 games not 24 minutes to get a feel how good this team will be. Patience…..

    No post game show on ROOT Sports, but Blazers Uprise Live has you covered. The Blazers lost their first preseason game to the Warriors 121-107. Come chat about what you liked and your concerns from the game:

    I missed the Powell injury - any update? I did see Zeller get popped - looks like Neil needs to go find another backup 5.
