    Good thing I'm not a mod . . . I would ban everyone who posted in this thread. Then I would go to the OT forum and delete it. Somehow I don't think that would make me feel better, but it couldn't hurt.

    So maybe Aldridge is our Durant and Lillard is our Westbrook. All we need is defense and a competent bench and we're an elite team?

    I thought the consensus was that the Blazers were destined to start out slow this season for obvious reasons. What changed?

    Phoenix has even more new faces than Portland does. How come it didn't effect them?

    Our D and (lack of) rebounding assisted there. But they were hitting shots.

    Tough loss to watch, but it's only 1 game out of 82. Time to regroup and pick up the pace early in the game at Denver. The thing I noticed was the lack of any urgency in the tempo early in the game. Walking the ball up the court, allowing the defense to set, just bad coaching, IMO. Hopefully Lillard is allowed to push pace early at Denver.

    The team didn't look prepared to take an early onslaught from a bunch of hustling scrubs, which is what PHX is and will be all season.

    Except for Dragic, Portland the better team man for man.
    But The Suns play better ball. Give the win to Rookie Coach Jeff Hornacek, he has his team ready to play ball, a bit Sloan like.

    I'm not posting in the next game thread. There were 3 posters that made this thread shit. Complaints and bitching are fine. Purposely trolling was just a fucking joke.

    Our defense doesn't look like it's improved. Suns were killing us with the pick and roll. How many times did we see their point guard going against our big man, getting a wide open jumper? We are going to need to work on this... A LOT!
