They are going to build on last season. No pushovers in Moda Center anymore.


Even Ant Edwards said that last night.

If this team stays fairly healthy, they're gonna be a tough out. They defend like hell and Splitter was specifically brought in to help Billups with the offense, so him being HC now is not a downgrade in the slightest.


I'm just glad Simons is gone. Can't wait for guy Scoot to come back.

Yup. Scorekeeper screwed him out of his 10th Block. The NBA can go back and correct this error though if the Spurs file a complaint tomorrow. I hope they do. Wemby earned that Triple-Dub.

Dude, you and the entire Blazer fanbase too.

I feel bad cause he's a nice kid and had some exciting moments, but he was a **** black hole for the Blazers offense.

Luka 42 points in 28min, this man is a DEMON. My MVP ticket looking good so far.

Wow Wolves are trash. Barely beat Portland and now getting smoked by Lakers.

Luka's making a mockery out of Jaden McDaniels.

Nico Harrison is going to be really hearing it sooner rather than later. A high turnover loss to the Wizards while Luka is on demon time against the Wolves

Luka's on a mission this season. 2018-2019 Harden type year.

Rui deserves some love here with 23 points so far, we need at least 18 from Rui every game

There's a concerted effort from the league to ensure that the Warriors get at least 10 more FTAs than their opponents.
