My mantra this season.....it's just a training camp season..this is the year to make mistakes and experiment with roster matchups. In the meantime...we're seeing some really great things...UCD is right about a defensive guard...enter Gerald Henderson...CJ becomes a 6 man and we might want to think about keeping Henderson paired with Dame and Crabbe with CJ more than Dame and CJ together

At this point, I would be more inclined to bet on Crabbe's improvement than Henderson's health.
 
I refuse to go the JinxSpeed route and every other game come with the "I told you so BS"

For those pissed at me for stepping back and looking at things with a more "realistic" view...... we WILL have more nights this. Maybe not as drastic, but we will hang for awhile in games and then talent will win out. Very bummed we lost this way last night, but wasn't THAT shocking. Go Blazers!
 
Detroit is a lot better a team than people expect.

Nobody is Hakeem the dream. That's the best back to the basket player of all time. Not sure why you're comparing our underrated back to the basket players to him.

There's enough players in the league who copy some of his moves.
 
Love the young talent on this team but think we are missing a talented combo guard. My hope is that Jamal Murray falls to Portland in the draft. That would ALMOST make up for him not going to Oregon.

FWIW, I think Henderson is a decent defender.

This is what I'm looking forward to. He also slashes and finishes better than Aminu or CJ ...high percentage corner 3pt shooter and a smart vet. I'm glad they're taking their time bringing him back from hip surgery...there's no rush and it gets other guys some burn

Huh? I'm not really even sure what this means. A moment ago you said that are back to the basket players are not Hakeem the dream like. Well that statement holds true because there is no person who has the back to the basket game like a king the dream. And no one ever will.
 
I think we're the hardest team to predict this season
 
Memphis is experienced and they got beat by 50. This shit happens.

wooshhh
im not expecting anyone to be like Olajuwon, but there are players in the league who can make the same moves Hakeem did, when they do that they bring back "flashes" of Hakeem.

That we lost, not shocking.

How we lost, shocking.

Well... maybe more comical than shocking.

This is what I was talking about with unreal expectations. We ARE going to lose like this ALOT this year is all I'm saying. The bashing of them isn't warranted. Like Mt Hood CC trying to beat the Ducks. Be great if it happened and you can WISH and WANT them to be better than they are, but it ain't happening.

Of course, We shouldn't bash the team, we should just imply that they are similar to a community college team when other NBA teams are Division 1. That's not bashing at all!

I have NEVER bashed anybody or the team. Find those posts please. I have been accused of this already and it just hasn't happened.

Who are "you guys"? There are people here who think we're winning 24 games and people who think we're winning 55 games. Who are you directing your bullshit at?
