Should be a tough game, this will be a good test for Portland.

This’ll be a tough one to win, but here’s hoping! Portland and Phoenix have played some very competitive games over the years.

I'm absolutely pumped right now. Connectivity is the key for the players says Chauncey... Patience will be ours. The beauty will be, seeing this team get better, game by game... hopefully.

Nurkic looks way better so far. He's soo important to our success. Our forwards all look good as well. Guards just need reps. Eubanks seems reliable, solid and smart. Not great, but the very blue-collar type, and a local good story kid, that you just love to have on your team. Winslow playing C in bursts could revolutionize the game.

I actually like all of our guys and think it could work... but it just looks like an unpolished turd right now.

Indeed.

Ant is playing absolutely rubbish this game. I thought he looked decent in game 1 though, so not concerned.

Turnovers are killing us. If we can minimize the turnovers they stand a chance.

Neither PG is facilitating well or doing a good job of getting others involved. Both looking to get theirs mostly.

For all those guys out there who gave Dame a ton of crap after not playing well in his first game in 10 months, you owe that man an apology. Especially those who went as far as to say we need to trade him. :wink:

That's a big win! If Portland's able to navigate this opening 20 games of the season at .500 or better, they should feel really good about themselves.

There's still a lot to improve, but the wins to open the season are fantastic! Great to see contributions all around, and great to see Ant hit that sweet running half-hook over Bridges after struggling all game.
