The Blazers just don't have the depth. It was Dallas bench that beat us tonight.

I really hope people don't get too down about the losses this year ...
If the Blazers turn into the Warriors I'm going to puke

It was our horrible shooting that beat us tonight.
And playing no defense

Yeah, I actually really enjoyed the way they called the game. Very even handed, pretty knowledgeable about some of the Blazers, complimentary of their own guys without being knob gobblers ... Mike and Mike should take some notes.

2-2 is about 2 wins more than I thought we'd have to start the year. The team has a lot of work to do, a lot of rookies and a lot of holes ... but call me crazy, I think they'll eventually be in pretty good shape (assuming they get another legit player in the lotto this summer and can pick up some quality depth for their bench).

I'm trying not to. Jordan's Bulls usually took their lumps on the Texas road trips. I'll take one win (against a red hot Houston) for this young team. I'm not expecting 60 wins. I just want some entertainment and 41 wins.

I think you can safely assume there will be a decent amount of the former ... the latter is a big reach IMO.

Dallas was blitzing him all throughout the second half. isolations might have been OK if he'd been prepared and knew what to do with the ball in that situation. His rookie-ness was on display tonight with his shot selection and how to handle the different look on defense.

They were blitzing him because Portland kept bringing the high pick. Let him go 1 on 1 and they can't double him without leaving a guy wide open.

Oh well, a teachable moment for him and the team. It's all part of the deal this year.

I'm sure we figured he would have up and down games. Maybe he shouldn't take 8 three point shots, but a lot of them were opened he was just off. Dude is still deadly from the outside so I'm ok with it. But yeah taking it to the hole would be great too.

The whole damn team took too many threes. Time to reign that shit in.
