    On the plus side, we won't be disappointed by a 1st round sweep.

    This I agree with, and then we extended Dame. Gonna be interesting if we start bad and the losses mount.

    If this game was close I would be pissed about the officiating. Watford almost got his head taken off

    I don’t usually post saying “We”. Seriously I actually make an effort never to do that. I’m not on the team.

    So, why is Dame still playing?

    This team is playing like they've never played the game of basketball before.

    Hart and Little have been prime examples of players who look good on a shitty team.

    Blazers look out of shape.
    That seems weird because you would think Chauncey would be better about having players in shape?

    Our guys look like they just don't give one singular fuck out there... It is just preseason and I don't want to fall into that reactionary trap but I would expect way more fire out of anybody playing basketball anywhere (middle school playground to an NBA court).

    If they think Trendon can play backup C minutes, they need to reevaluate that ASAP

    Sharpe isn't used to going up against guys who are not afraid to be stiff. He's lost at least 2 shots on the way up.

    Believe it or not, Dame won an NBA Player of the Week award last season.

    I was just thinking (hoping) that canceling before the end of preseason may be premature.

    Every player in the history of the game has slowed down with age.

    I’m not going to worry too much just yet. Long season and this team has a bunch of new pieces.
    Gonna see where they are at 20 games like most every season it seems.
    Gotta give Billups a chance. Gotta see Dame get back into real game shape. Got to see if Nurk can get going. Lots of room to improve.
