Sorry, couldn't wait! Jason Richardson already has 30 at halftime!
 
What's this? Greg Oden out with the team taking warmups? :ohno:

:devilwink:
 
30 turnovers, forced by Batum and Matthews.
 
Feed LaMarcus early. He should have a field day against Warrick and Turkoglu.

Also interested to see the combinations we see from Nate. Does Armon get a shot early and how does Wesley look guarding Dragic if the Blazers go that route instead.
 
Should be fun to watch Nash turn Hedo into an all star this year.

Yep just like he should have a field day against Maggette when facing Golden State....

Yes they do need to feed Lamarcus early. But they need to stop forgetting to feed him for the other 3 quarters of the game. The bad pattern that has developed the last few years is, they go to Lamarcus, he has one big quarter, and then scores about 4 points and 2 rebounds the rest of the way.
 
Interesting to see this second unit lineup with Batum at center.
 
I cant wait! I'll be at the RG tonight ready to enjoy a Trail Blazer victory!
 
9 hrs and 50 minutes..............
 
Anyone know what channel KGW is on on Comcast down here in Eugene?
 
1st games don't tell you a ton, but I am anxious to see the teams playing style against a crappy Suns team
 
1st games don't tell you anything good or bad, but i am PUMPED!
 
No Javie can't be a bad thing.

Now if they can figure out a way to get rid of the single worst ref in the NBA, Violet Palmer, I will jump for joy

They almost did. They promoted her to a manager, so she rarely officiates games now.

I think it will tell us a lot. Our starting five is used to each other so unlike other teams that are still trying to sort out chemistry issues we should be clicking. I'm very excited to see Fernandez and Mathews. If they can mesh with the different combos we will start strong. If not this is going to be a bumpy start.
 
Also this is one of those cases where a win just isn't enough for me. I want a dominating effort, even without our bigs. Two-possession leads for the majority of the game is what I'm expecting, at the very least.
