I expect Robert Williams to be one of the most exciting players, a likely fan favorite

Hope I'm wrong cause if he starts, the huge optimism I currently have for this new Blazer team, will feel like a cold wet blanket.

Scoot looks a little first game nervous, and the Clippers defense is a tough one to have your first NBA game!

It's like watching a g League exhibition. Why am I doing this to myself? I really really hope we have the worst attendance in the league. Jody and the rest of these clowns need to have a message sent, and all they care about is money, so hit them where it hurts. Pretty sure Jody cashes in 45 million a year as executer of Paul's estate anyways.

I heard 150 mil but who really knows?

This is to be expected on a rebuild, hopefully Billups is given a pink slip when we are done tanking 2-4 years from now

Ant looks good, Sharpe looks good, post presence has been really lacking since Ayton went out

Definitely. Hopefully he's able to settle into the game and shake the jitters.

Painful so far. Sharp and Brogdon are the only ones playing well so far.

Grant seems like the kinda guy who just wants to get his numbers.

Yeah, it looks rough. Hopefully he can turn it around today but brogdon may need to start if this is what we are getting

Clown show. Ayton sucks. Scoot looks like he needs to go back to the g League.Why did we rebuild? Because Jody decided one day ef the city and the fans? Ef Dame? It's so strange just watching this team with so much animosity. I've never felt this way before,I don't like this. I'm still angry, and I don't think it's going away any time soon. I think I actually hate this organization and I've been a blazer fan for 35 years. I'm just seething hatred right now.

I agree it looks awful so far, but it's Game 1. I share some anger with how management has treated the team and fans. Let's see how the team is looking by Game 20 or so.
