    I’m telling you unless your an obvious powerhouse and can sleep thru preseason. Preseason games always translate

    Don't know why people are surprised... there's going to be early season struggles while the team gels and learns a whole new system. It's the first half of the first game, lol. Y'all trippin.

    This is rough. When the defense starts slipping it REALLY starts slipping. It seems like they can only keep up the intensity for 1.5 quarters.

    RoCo and Nurkic in particular look rough. The three guards are struggling with rotations and providing any sort of resistance. We need size at the wings it's pretty obvious, but trying to give four 6'3 guards 25+ MPG is not going to end well.

    10 turnovers not good 30 percent from the 3 not good especially a team likes the 3 and 8 assist.

    Oh my!
    This is worse that I was expecting.
    Can’t score 50 in a half and still giving up over 60.
    Bad days coming.

    Not surprising, the defense was much better when CJ was out of the game.

    Narrator: it was the roster.

    blazers 8 assists on 19 baskets and 6 of those by Dame. That looks pretty familiar

    and remember when Billups said he wanted fewer minutes for Dame this season? Well, the offense fell apart without Dame so he has 20 minutes already

    I am starting to think Nurk will never be an efficient finisher... Drives me nuts watching him sometimes.
