    After 1 game, I think s2 desperately needs a posters-only meeting.

    No bro it’s the third year and don’t worry. I’m plenty relaxed. Seems more like you are all up in arms about reading the truth.

    Edge? What edge?
    Truth obviously is tough for you to hear. Totally agree I will be doing lots of other things this season. Fishing will be one of them.

    That’s right nothing matters in the NBA season until after January.

    More like maybe your expectations are too high.

    we are the youngest team in the league for a reason. Gonna be lots of growing pains, but it’s a long season, the biggest factor this season is we see progress from our young guys from the start of the season till the end, then we can properly judge things imo.

    I'm wondering by mid season with the exception of the bucks game and any L*ker game, how cheap the tickets are gonna be. I may actually be able to afford to go to more than 1 game this year!

    You must have missed the posts I've made saying they will not be winning much this year. My win projection would disagree with you here.

    Sucking this year doesn’t mean we suck forever. Look at OKC back in the day.

    2007- draft Durant and suck
    2008- draft RW and suck again
    2009- draft Harden and win 50 games
    2010-11 reach WCF
    2011-12 reach Finals

    Pick up solid talent three straight drafts and we won’t have to wait forever

    Yeah this is what happens when these clowns just start a thread for a random thought all offseason….they thinks its ok. This place used to be a lot more organized. Miss that as much as I miss the playoffs.

    THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN’T BE STATED ENOUGH! Dame was special for us….didn’t just put up numbers…..So when you saw clowns on here all hyped up to trade him and throw a teenager out there and that we would be just fine. Blows my mind. Who knows how this kid is going to do, and I haven’t seen him play enough to even have a valid opinion on his game. Hoping he lives up to the high expectations thrown at him, but there is a reason Dame made that Top75 list and thousands and thousands didn’t.

    I didn't expect much against the Clippers. They have three future HOF'ers and are title contenders if they stay healthy. I am more interested in how Portland plays against the bad teams up to teams vying for the play in. The kids might get lucky and catch a playoff team on an off night or when resting a star or two, but a 10 point loss is a great game against the playoff teams. I just want to see Scoot and Sharpe playing together, not Scoot and Simons. Completely ridiculous pairing.

    Just so you know, Orlando isn’t one of those “bad” teams….tough game tonight.
