    Guys took the court to warm up about 20 minutes ago. Luke, EWill, Armon, Johnson, Nolan. Feels good just to hear that basketball bouncing' on the hardwood FAMS!

    They're back to work - why aren't you? Focus on the game, FAMS!!

    This coming from the guy who is always asking how we everyone has time to post while working...

    No Sloan, No hope. I would be worried if Sloan was still the coach. Now that he's gone; I doubt Utah makes any noise in the regular season.

    I definitely think Utah could make some noise, but I think they'll be inconsistent, and they won't maximize the abilities of the young guys like Sloan would have. I still think they could be solid. Like Portland, I think there's a bit of variability in how good they could be.

    LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, Greg Oden, Wesley Matthews, Raymond Felton (to a degree) and of course, as you mentioned, Nolan, Chris, and Elliott.

    With that much youth, you need a coach to keep you focused. They don't have a coach with that capability; which is why I don't care how much talent they have. They will take the Clipper's place last season in conference record, IMO.

    Paul Allen met with media. "I have no plans on selling the team. "

    None of the links are available yet. Once the game starts, and if someone finds something, please pm me.

    Thanks.

    Nope. I saw him on KOIN working out before the game, though.

    Which is pretty much what I said, except for the Clips part. Although, my one question regarding the Clips: why does everything think they're going to be better? Yeah, I love me some Chris Paul. But they gave up a lot to get him. Eric Gordon is a STUD. Kaman is solid when healthy. I know Griffin is the man, and will continue to improve. Paul has battled injuries. I think the Clips will be good, and on some nights look like stars, but overall, I'm not really sure what to think of then. I'm thinking NOH 3-4 years ago when they were on their way up.

    umm I knew he had said he wasn't playing but then HCP said he was out there. Wouldnt be the first time a player played when he wasn't expected to.

    Crazy. It's been almost 8 months since the Blazers last played a game.
