This should be a relatively easy win for the Blazers, as this SAC team looks pretty "rough". I expect Hield to try and win the scoring title tonight, and he will probably have a big game. Fox could too, especially after getting embarrassed by Phoenix the other night.

Important for Lillard/CJ to not get caught up in that rope-a-dope and stick to the game plan of simply defeating the Kings. It'll be interesting to see if there are any perimeter defense adjustments on the part of the Blazers. On paper, Sac doesn't shoot particularly well, but Hield went 6-12 from 3 two nights ago...

Blazers should come out hungry for a win after letting the game against Denver slip through their fingers. Hopefully we see perhaps some adjustment on the implementation of 3 point defense, pretty ridiculous that both Denver and Phoenix lit us up from 3 point land recently.

Kings have enough talent to be a playoff team. They would be a playoff team in the east. I don't count this as an easy game.

Compared to most of the teams we will be facing over the next 7 or so games this is one of the easier ones. Are the Kings one of the teams you want to face most in the NBA, no but they are nowhere near a formidable team yet.

**** the Pistons are barely a playoff team in the East and we handled them fairly well last season so I would put Kings in that tier.

Not digging this year's version of the Blazers yet. Just sloppy uninspired ball.

I wouldn't say they let it "slip through their fingers", it really should have been a bigger blow out.

Tolliver is a "versatile defender", meaning he's bad at everything?

Stotts does sure not have this team ready for the season.

Tolliver is trash. I'd rather they go with Skal.
