    We got Simons out there with the assignment on the 6’8” Huerter.

    This is going to be a disaster. Can’t wait til he has to guard Klay Thompson.

    If the real season looks anything like the preseason has looked, I predict Dame comes down with some season-ending injury in early January followed by a flurry of lopsided trades.

    I had mentioned that in my opinion if we used the pick this past draft on a young player that won’t help for years down the road instead of packaging it for a proven vet to help win now…. That Dame might be upset.
    Was that opinion way off base or is there a chance that might be correct? Curious if your opinion.

    If the Blazers were ahead by 30 points right now it would matter as much as it does being behind (meaning it doesn't matter at all). Hopefully the don't look like this when the season starts. That's when it matters. doesn't matter at all tonight.

    Sharpe with an impressive showing in the first half. Three minutes and he is the only Blazer in the positives with respect to +/- (+8).

    Meanwhile, on the other side, the other Rookie has 13 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist,, 2 steals, 1TO and is a +16.

    I don’t think Dame really cares either way. He already had it set he wanted to be here for the foreseeable future. He got his max money and I think that’s good enough for him

    I really think someone should tell the players to stop making bounce passes to Nurk. Keep them high or don't bother.

    We are also so damn small. Watford is average at best. Eubanks is trash. Saar is years from being anything, and then he’ll be below average.

    If this is an experimental game, why the hell isn't Sharpe playing 35 minutes? He needs pre-season playing time more than anyone.

    So, outside of Grant's play, has there been anything positive about this pre-season?

    The current version of Lillard, along with his age isn’t a player worth mortgaging the future on.

    At what we've seen thus far, I'm thinking the "Fire Billups" requests will start becoming notable by Christmas barring the team suddenly looking much better on both sides of the ball.

    I'm still wondering what "proven vet" we were going to acquire that was going to make us contenders in the next couple of years. Every time I hear this argument I think "Yeah, that sounds great. Except the guy doesn't exist."
