    We still have posters coming to terms with letting Zach Collins go, so...

    Nice to see how Walker and Camara are developing, both had very good games

    I had a very good time at the game - which has been exceedingly rare the past three seasons, so that was a pleasant surprise! As others have mentioned, competent guard play is something you take for granted until it's gone.

    The statement is right there for all to read. "I see nothing special, and his shot is completely broken."
    If you want to read something into that that is not there then that is on you. Watch out for those mental gymnastics. If you pull a muscle in that area, you never know how long you'll be out?

    They are lowered for sure. I started lowering them about two years ago.

    Not sure if Utah laid an egg after losing in 2 ot's to Phoenix or if Portland won the game. Detroit, Washington and San Antonio are certainly taking tanking to a new level to start a season.

    Not ready to go there just yet. Now you made me the homer saying he's only 19 and he needs time. He needs to learn how to play his game. I agree the shot is very worrisome, but it can be worked on and he has time to do that.

    Damian Lillard opened the 2021-22 NBA season by making only 2 of his first 23 three point attempts.

    Glad to see Scoot got a haircut. Maybe that will improve his game.

    I'm sure this game was a big moral boost for the team as well! They're going to need it going into Fridays game.

    I don’t think he got a haircut. He just had it braided.

    Thybulle has far exceeded my expectations offensively. He had some phenomenal defensive highlights last night. I am glad Chauncey has him coming off the bench though.

    Dame was trying to play through severely injured core muscles. Lillard at half speed, it was easy to see something was wrong. (Then the team fell apart, Cronin began shedding Olshey weight. Starters got benched early, allowing CJ Elleby to shoot 1-8 every night. Then Portland drafted Shaedon Sharpe).
