    I haven’t been thrilled with what I’ve seen all preseason.

    It's a sign of being a kid and not knowing his place with the vets.

    Can’t believe Simons just passed up a 3 to give Nurkic a 3

    For having players that are supposed to be good at defense (grant, hart and nurk) and a coach who preaches it, this team still sucks ass at defense.

    33 wins might be generous.

    Saying this for years
    The game is so much easier when you have shooters.

    That's been evident in all three of the Blazers' preseason games against NBA teams. We have no spacing on offense. We play offense like the game hasn't evolved from 1998. Too much dribbling without purpose. We have guys that can shoot, but they aren't real shooters. They aren't guys who are dead-eye if left open.

    On the defensive end, they just attack Dame or Ant every time down the floor, get us helping and find an open guy beyond the arc. And they make it.

    You can tell that this team isn't taking the pre-season seriously at all.
