    You're missing the good part which is that we got a 35 point lead. Our team is for real. Shit happens, this will just focus us for next Wednesday night.

    Man that was fun! Don't even care that the Blazers blew such a giant lead. This very young and very inexperienced team showed us what it is capable of tonight. Go, Blazers!

    The perception of this team is not lost on the players. This is obvious. I can't think of a more important and meaningful preseason ever. We are going to be OK!

    Those obnoxious Clippers announcers were pegging Damian to lead the league in scoring this season

    Dame looks faster this year.

    But wtf happened to his 3pt shot? That step back 3 he patented his rookie year is in the gutter. Abs 0 confidence in his looks from deep.

    Been that way since like march

    Love how Dame (and CJ to a lesser extent) was able to finish with ease at the rim in the first half. Our ball movement was pretty stellar as well. And that was with the Clippers first string whiners in the game.

    Pretty encouraging signs from our young group despite giving up the lead.

    On the bright side, we're a lot closer to being in Simmons territory than I originally thought. It's going to be difficult winning on a consistent basis in the NBA without any low-post scoring options. The games we win will be the ones where the jump shot finding nothing but net.

    No player can create their own shot outside Damian and CJ.

    That was a huge factor in their comeback.

    I expect many entertaining games this season, that are lost in the final minutes when poise and experience count.

    Go Blazers!

    Yea I been saying that for months. It's ugly. It's a damn shame too Bc every part of his game is clicking and improving as well. I'm afraid he'll never be around that 38-41% mark he had his first 2 years. Maybe around 32-34% unfortunately

    Stotts tried several pass plays for Davis and one for Plumlee, but both missed the little chuckers. I hope practice will make perfect as the season wears on. Vonleh has the weight to learn how to post up, Zach-style.

    We will be fine when Dame and CJ are playing well, but not so good when they don't. Clippers have one of the deepest teams in the league. We do not. right now. Getting Aminu and Henderson back will help.

    I doubt that Connaughton will play much during the regular season, but I have to admit he is getting better every game. He actually looks like he belongs now. Eventually he will be a nice hustle player off the bench.

    Sometimes it seem that Dame try to win this game but he need to trust his team mates. They built 10 point lead in the 4th by other guys got involve.
