    Harkless is a starter and he comes off the bench? Impressive.

    And he's so good at it, they are going to name a new award in his honor - 5.5th Man of the Year.

    Blazer Broadcasting is covering the home preseason games, and the away game at Golden State on October 21. We will all be on CSN. Excited to watch this one from my couch.

    They are a pretty terrible team. I am quite amazed at how they could draft the second best player in the draft (or even the best) and then pick up Luol Deng at a bad price to steal minutes away from him.

    If you're going to tank, then tank properly. Paying big money to players like Deng and Mozgov is completely pointless.

    They did tank properly for 3 years. It just didn't work out as well as they wanted. If it takes more years than that, then it is not worth it. Randle, D'Angelo, and Inrgam are all good players,but thankfully none will "transcend" the game like the media/fans felt would happen by tanking.

    I think /hope they have some decent players this year to win enough games so their pick finally goes to Philly. I really don't want them getting another shot at the #1 pick. So there will be times this year I will be rooting for them to win. (i.e against OKC, Clippers, Minny, Utah, GS, SA, Houston, Dallas.....)

    I will always have a certain disdain for the Lakers. I think the fact that they suck so bad at the moment, means they are being talked less about, and so the ire is less. But, I'm sure one day in the far future they will have a playoff level team again, and the seething hatred for the purple and gold will bubble to the surface in Portland again.

    I watched them play the Nuggets and though the Nugs were terrible on defense...the Lakers shot lights out from deep....a lot of their young guys were shooting well...the Lakers are going to be a team you don't want to take for granted just because they lack stars now...without Kobe, they have more balanced scoring

    Personally, I dislike the 4 frames that glitch all the time...also commercial interruptions during live action...then there's Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson...I'm still a Wheels fan for games...sucks that nba.com charges for audio league pass even though it's about the price of a bottle of cheap scotch for a year...I'll buck up and get the audio pass again

    Box score shows he had 1 point, 2 rebounds and 5 fouls in 8 minutes.

    I must have only watched that stretch...I was at work while the game was on...didn't see his stats. I was mainly shocked that he was on the team
