    Yeah this team is a total mystery box. Could be 24 wins, could be 48 wins. Neither is out of the realm of possibility.

    I think the Blazers should split the minutes between the starters and the bench fairly evenly, about 28/20, except for Lillard. Play harder in less minutes.

    I wonder if HCPs Blazer buddies know that he thinks they suck and won't win more than 20 games.

    Yeah, because Spurs fans think preseason matters.

    Come on, they are used to Pop giving away multiple regular season games so his vets are rested and ready for the playoffs. They could lose every preseason game and their fans wouldn't bat an eye. They know the post season is the only season that matters.

    P.S. "The Spurs played without Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, who didn't make the trip. Nor did Boris Diaw or coach Gregg Popovich."

    The thing i like is there isn't much of a drop off between our first and second units, especially if mccollum gets to run the twos. Not many teams can say that about themselves. Yeah well be lucky to be an 8th seed but this team is going to be real good in a year or two.

    Define overzealous. I thought he was a good player, but I never claimed he was a first ballot Hall of Famer (or even a last ballot Hall of Famer).

    You post as if you defend him since he signed with the Spurs.

    Eh, true.

    I guess I have some tempered expectations. I don't wanna get too high or too low. however, this team could be scary good in two to three years.

    So, it begins....
    The blazers beat the champs by 17. NBA.com uses the phrase "Curry Cookin' in Defeat" with a picture of Curry. They have a single video of the game and it's an 11 second video of Draymon Green dunking.

    Preseason. They don't care who wins or loses.

    haha no. I am going to enjoy the hell out of the growth of the team... I just am not going to get wild with my expectations.
