Look at my post above. They had NO bigs in the game aside from Greek Freak. They started Pat MFing Connaughton at center.

I dunno why everyone predicted Dallas ahead of us

Chuck just said… PORTLAND MAKE A TRADE!

Did Neil hear it? If not hopefully he reads this forum!

 

[DDolla]

Can Nassir be our Terrance Mann

they won as many games as Portland last season with a much younger roster?

Our team is not good. We are 9th seed right now out of the West.

 

[illmatic99]

Man I missed this so much. What a game

Color me unimpressed

 

[DDolla]

Clippers and Warriors are so better than the Blazers

 

[FlashWad]

well Curry came back after a bad shooting performance with an insane outing. Hoping Lillard can do the same

Did Pat suddenly grow over the summer?

He might have grown a large callous from carrying The Larry O'Brien trophy around Boston over the summer. But, nah. That lineup was weird. And they obviously got beat up.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Whoa Blazers are definitely not a playoff team this year guys.. Warriors are insane

 

[DDolla]

Chuck no more Blazer guaranteeeeeee lol. He actually want them to make a trade which I agree

Unfortunately, there's nothing particularly impressive about either team aside from Dončić and Dame.

I think either team could finish ahead of or behind the other and it wouldn't be particularly surprising.

 

[illmatic99]

Dončić

i'm just here for the keyboard strokes you just executed to spell this.

 

[Minstrel]

The Warriors are definitely off to a good start. I did think that they'd be a factor this year, I really liked their additions of Otto Porter and Nemanja Bjelica...perfect fits to how they play. If they could have lured Nic Batum away from the Clippers, it would have been a clean sweep of ideal role-players. Add Jordan Poole looking like a baby Bradley Beal and the Warriors look tough.

If Klay is even 75-80% of what he was before the injuries, the Warriors could be contenders.

It's all about the effort posts.

Warriors are a legitimate threat this year

 

[BonesJones]

Nets: Patty Mills 7-7 from 3-pt range.

.....the entire rest of the bench, 0-everything from the field. Yuck!

Bucks: Mike Rice's favorite team.
Antetokounmpo
Antetokounmpo
Mamukelashvili
Kalaitzakis

Happy my guy Kalaitzakis is looking solid! I was onto him before Fez or Rasta which seems impossible!

 

[riverman]

Bucks and Mavs got run out of the gym tonight....don't feel too bad about losing by 3pts to the Kings now

Hmm. They JUST won at home over the Clippers, who were without Batum (and, of course, Kawhi).

If you watched the game, Giannis played center. It was weird they listed him as a Center. They did on TV as well.

Many teams deal with players out...we're no exception...we played two seasons without our starting 4 an 5 ..Zach and Nurk....still found a way to beat top teams along the way...you are the team that can suit up in the league...injuries are part of why you have 15 roster spots

Echoes of Stotts

Echoes of Stotts

except another team thought Carlisle was worth employing as a head coach and not Stotts for some odd reason

no echoes here
