    Going to have a really strong bench this season. Other than Dame, no starters job is safe.

    Is it a strong bench, or a weak starting 5?

    Yes. The reality is that it will be very different toward the end of the season than it will be at the beginning. Eventually some of the players will exceed expectations and will mostly be the starters. The bench players will still be decent though and remain that way or improve too.

    I still think Harkless will be the early surprise.

    sort of a coin toss...any of 12 players could be starters or bench players pretty much but our bench is sold either way..Starters probably get overwhelmed by good starting lineups but I think our bench of say..CJ Crabbe Harkless Vonleh and Davis is going to be pretty good

    Paul is one of the best go to guys in the league. Do you watch them play? He takes over at the end of games. He hit the series winning shot in the first round vs the Spurs.

    You have no idea how good we'll be this season. Don't talk it down when you haven't seen us play yet.

    He said he wanted to sign a 5 year contract with us and become the best Blazer ever. And he probably would've stayed if Wes didn't get hurt.

    Plumlee filled in for Brook last year, now he's replacing Robin, I assume.

    The refs will run Meyers out of the gym the first time they match up. Book it.

    Yes, but in the long run.... LA will retire before Meyers.

    Nope. Not why he wanted out. He was leaving, and people here said it for two years. Most didnt want to listen.

    Mostly because you kept being wrong. But congratulations on being a stopped clock.
