I've not been too impressed with our new scrubs. Though Whiteside has been great.

Well I assume your not putting Bazemore into that because I like what he brings defensively he has a knack for finding the ball and getting his hands on passes.

Lillard needs to hurry up and get used to throwing some lobs instead of the bounce pass in traffic. Whiteside is a huge target. Throw the ball up for him to finish instead of making him catch a bounce pass in traffic.

Love Bazemore's defense. shooting isn't great right now, but his defense alone has been a plus over Turner

Yay, basketball! Wish Portland had taken better advantage of Jokic being out. Was looking good early and then...

Portland can bring this home, though, for sure.

He's made some nice plays defensively, but on offense he reminds me of Evan Turner without the ball handling ability.

I think we'll win the 2nd half. Nuggets were red hot from three, got the benefit of some bad calls, and Portland committed a lot of turnovers. If they just have a good half they win.

I hate games where teams shoot 99% from 3 and we go 3-33

Going to have nightmares about threes.

Dame can't even make wide open corner 3s.

They'll start dropping before long.

Damian is pretty hot and cold from out there and he usually saves his best % for the 4th. He can have a rough night through 3 and then open up for 15+ points in the 4th on great shooting.

It’s going to take some time for this team to come together for we’re not likely not built to run the Dallas(Stotts) system which emphasizes the 3 point shot and proper spacing. It’s no surprise for the team lost Aminu, Harkless, Curry and Meyers and we lack the ability to score points in bunches. We’re likely going to see some 3 guard lineups if we’re starting Zach/Hassan

Anfernee has been garbage tonight

Excellent 3rd quarter here Blazers made some nice adjustments at the half.

Way too early reaction take: The Blazers bench has me worried.

Reasonable human being take: It's practically still preseason and all teams look rusty as hell - as is normal for Game 1 of every season in NBA history.

CJ with the most non-chalant 3 in team history.

I think having Nurk and Whiteside at the same time will be tremendous.

I love it when a scorer just looks at it like, "Yeah that is just what I do, no big deal."
