    Yes. You know it doesn't work that way. Just because they beat Phoenix and Phoenix beat us doesn't mean they're better than us. We have the size to neutralize Drummond and they have zero answer for Dame and CJ. Plus, we're at home. I expect a 15-20 point win.

    If you want to go that way, Pistons only beat Jazz by 5 at home. We beat Jazz by 16 in Utah.

    lol, people are going a bit crazy here.

    We're a nice team at the moment, we are trying to contend for a playoffs spot.
    We're not a juggernaut waiting to run over every .500 team because we're hot shit and they're minor league amateurs.

    God, I love you! Blazers are beasts this year!!

    We're ALREADY playing well as a unit, imagine how it's going to be as this team gels together even more, and some of these players develop more! So many people are stuck on getting a pick but are forgetting that this team is young, will grow together, and have set a great starting point to doing so. I think vying for a pick with this team is greatly over-rated. GO BLAZERS!!!! Yeeeeeeeeeeee!

    Woohoo! Yep, it was evident when we killed Golden State in preseason. Who cares that it didn't count? We played as a TEAM and I was like "whoa." Stotts is obviously a great coach and Dame is a peerless leader. Like you said, we're only going get better.

    No offense dude, but you sound like Raymond Felton after we got out to a 7-1 start a few years ago (and then lost like 50 games).

    It's a nice surprising start. They are currently the #2 seed and could stay there with a win over the Pistons....unbelievable. However, it gets much tougher the rest of the month. Let's see where they are at the end of November. I'm guessing it is not the #2 seed or even in the top 4. BTW, that does not make me a hater. :cheers:

    KCP and Reggie Jackson are very good defenders and Drummond will make it tough for them to finish at the rim

    -Two best bigmen on the team can't shoot from the line or from mid-range.
    -No bigman with a back to the basket game\post moves.
    -Can Plumlee really handle DeAndre\Dwight\Cousins\Drummond etc?? TBD, i guess.
    -Dame and CJ are a problematic defensive back-court.
    -Strictly a jump-shooting team.
    - "B" tier coach.
    -inexperience.

    Actually, that team only lost 38 games. Short season.

    Are you serious? We are not strictly a jump shooting team. We get a ton of easy baskets. Our coach is a and iodate for COY. Plumlee and Davis have underrated back to the basket games. Learn the game, then post.
