It's great to have basketball back! Hoping Portland can start the season off with a win.

I have a feeling that every single win is going to matter this season.

That pic of the GLB looks like Khloe Kardashian. I don't have a good feeling about this game. Damn you BC!!!

I assure you that she is not a Kardashian. I have never used and most likely never will use a Kardashian as a GLB

DJJ getting a lot of 3point attempts. He's currently 2/4 with 5 and a half min left in the 1st.

Melo a complete disaster. Can't allow him to be out there going 0-5 in 5 minutes.

I swear Utah has like 10 points of Portland's defensive deflections.

He looked pretty good in the pre-season overall, but if he continues to play like that you can bet his ass would be out of the rotation in a matter of a handful of games.

He won't benefit heavily from star power or the benefit of the doubt like CJ or Lillard.

I liked the last play. Lillard beat his man, but instead of going to the basket, he passed off the dribble to wide open GTJ.
