    i dunno how much they'll both play, but i'm also looking forward to Shaedon v Dyson Daniels.

    every report has Cronin as seriously considering Dyson at #7. but i also recall Trajan Langdon (Pels' GM) throwing some shade at Sharpe after the draft about not playing, etc.,

    Am I the only one that really thinks of this as Ant vs CJ. Dame vs CJ has never been a thing for me...

    dame has been in the league 11 yrs, and he's playing against one of the guys he is closest with in the league, who was his teammate for 9+ yrs, who now also plays his position at PG.

    this is all about Dame v CJ.

    Chicago is arguably a much better team than the Hornets.

    Nah, to me it is all about CJ and the guy that that made Portland believe they could trade him. CJ knows he was never going to be the #1 option next to Dame, but CJ knows why Portland was willing to trade him and Ant knows that he needs to prove that he is worthy.

    If I just heard your right, you said losing to both the Pels & Mavs is ok? A win is not necessary but would be gravy?

    These are western conference foes and we need to put 'em where the sun don't shine. (and I don't mean HCP's basement).

    5-1 road trip!

    Based on that injury report, the Blazers apparently also think 3-3 on this trip is OK.

    *I* am never ok with any loss - I hate it when they lose. I'm just trying to be more rational (which always fails during the actual games).

    By design.
    Nurk and Grant are rested on the 2nd game.
    The Pels can’t match our depth and their starters will struggle.
    Billups knows what he is doing. Trust him.

    Well, that is disappointing. Especially with Gp2 still unavailable. And we want to consolidate?

    This needs to be another ugly win. NO has a big lineup with Ingram and Jones at the wings along with Zion and Val. Maybe Chauncey thinks if he has to rest Dame, this is the match-up to do it. I guess Keon is off the injury report. We will need him.

    Maybe. If he's shooting 25-30%, not so much. Those two games against Phoenix destroyed his efficiency numbers.

    The Pop school of thought. Get the guaranteed win on the second night of a road back to back early in the season. Hope you get the 2nd night but don’t strain for it.
