    Dame had a bad shooting game and an average floor game. But what he caused was the King defense to flex toward him all night leaving other guys in single coverage....like Grant, Hart, and Ant

    It was nice to get a W in a game where Damian didn't (most likely) look like he will by the end fo the season, same with Simons.

    It forces other players to show up, and thankfully they have at least 2 in the starting 5 that showed up better than most players in their position has over the last 6 + years.

    And Sharpe, wow...it's hard to not think he's going to be something special.

    Like the post game show. Have never stayed tuned in to see ex-Portlander Neil Everett.

    Is anyone else noticing a big lag in the forum right now?

    It's very noticeable on my PC.

    Winslow is strong as Karl Malone was...he doesn't get pushed off the block when he sets himself...his lower core strength is off the charts.

    Nurk fell to the floor at least 4 times trying to draw fouls. He needs to stop doing that. The refs don't trust him

    They rope a doped us in preseason...team has grit! Great start to the season on the road 1-0!!

    All the rest...will wait for more samples before too many knee-jerk conclusions are drawn.

    I have a more inclusive definition of good shooting. Grant scored 23 points on 11 shots. That's excellent shooting

    Do you now realize that the Clippers trade was a steal for us?

    Very good efficiency due to a lot of FTs (even though only 76% from the FT line). Great 3-point shooting. 2-8 inside the arc. (layup and putback dunk)

    Just got back from watching the game at the local sports bar. What a start to the season!

    Game ball for me goes to Hart and Winslow. Hart was everywhere, constantly hustling. And Winslow played great D on Sabonis down the stretch. Love to see that scrappiness.

    Eubanks with some solid D, and a great block. And, of course, seeing Sharpe have a solid outing gives me hope for the future.

    The Blazers will certainly have some ups and downs this season, but it was nice to see them start off with a hard-fought win!

    Dame literally only had one turnover before he was forcing shit on those three possessions and already had his eight assists. In my opinion this offense would run a lot smoother if Dame was the one bringing the ball up on every play and making sure that he was moving it. I think when Ant and Hart initiate the offense with the objective of still making sure Dame gets a touch, shit gets clunky and we end up initiating the actual play with less time to operate.

    Yeah, Dame's shot was off tonight... oh fucking well. Guess who was the more efficient scorer tonight Ant or Dame? You don't have to guess because they both sucked but Dame (20 on 18 shots) didn't suck quite as badly as Ant (22 on 22 shots). I also thought both of them were terrible together on defense like Dame/CJ part II.

    It's just one game and we'll see how things go but I thought Dame looked fine initiating the offense besides that little stretch where he tried to force some shit he shouldn't have which happens to everybody sometimes in close games.

    Nice road win on a night where the Blazers’ best player goes 5-18 and 1-8 from 3, with 4 turnovers. I’ll take it.
