Today is our annual fanfest but with a twist - it starts at one today instead of our usual five or six! It's on CSNNW and Vonleh, Wilcox and Napier are all out with injuries.

First pre-season game is on Tuesday! OH YEAH!

I hope we find mins for Collins and he doesn't ride the pine all year. His defensive instincts could be really valuable for a team that needs more defense.

Fun game so far!

I wonder how many threes Nurk is gonna attempt this year.

Stotts said we'll have no problems replacing Crabbe's 1.7 3pm.

Why is McCollum playing so many mins? Why no Hark and Turner?

Briscoe is looking better than Shabazz.

Definitely like this Davis, Collins, Leonard front court with Layman at the 2.

CJ might've just played so much because he was in a great rhythm. Harkless I imagine they kept out just not to aggravate the foot injury potentially on a fun scrimmage and Turner apparently had a nagging injury but they'll both be fine for Tuesday.

After watching...and yes I understand the caliber of game...

Both Collins and Swanigan already looked better than Leonard, and that's with Leonard doing more than just floating on the perimeter.

Between Nurkic, Davis, Swanigan and Collins the Blazers have a lot of rebounding in the front court. Nobody seems to really stand out as dynamic talent, but together they form a pretty solid rotation. I do expect a lot of fouls on the rookies and Swanigan to get his shot blocked quite a bit though.

If Briscoe played like this every day, he's better than CJ as the backup PG. I liked the way he pushed the ball and in general, always found the open man.

Archie's shooting form has a real streak of Ball ugliness to it.

Still not convinced the Baseball player is an NBA rotational player.
