Re: Preseason Game Tonight!!!
I am having a ton of issues getting excited for this season. More excited to watch Giddey in OKC + Barnes in TOR than anything this team has to offer.

Has there ever been a coach that didn't make it out of the pre-season.

Nothing to look forward to. This team is not improved over last year, we'll eek our way into the playoffs (maybe) and get stomped in the first round. Then Dame will demand a trade.
CJ should have been traded years ago.

I mean, Billups has said he treats pre-season like training camp and you can tell with how many minutes Lillard has played across these 4 games.
I think it's a bit early to get the pitch forks after Billups.
You want to come after Olshey no problem, but Billups needs more of a chance.

Re: Preseason Game Tonight!!!
It’s preseason, so I’m saving any hot takes on the team until next month. Granted, I would have liked to see a littttttllllleeee but better play than we have… I definitely would appreciate going into the reg season with a tad more confidence in this crew… but things generally do change when the games matter, so let’s see how that shakes out in a few weeks.

Re: Preseason Game Tonight!!!
Here's a "Hot Take":
I didn't see anything good from the Blazers in the games before last night's, and Dame sitting out for "Rest" is a weak move IMO, but with that aside, this one was much different to watch for me. This starting unit was obviously without Dame and instead had DSJ running the show. But I kept envisioning the giant what if... Ben Simmons out there starting instead of DSJ.
STARTING:
CJ / Powell / ROCO / Simmons / Nurkic
6-9:
ANT / Little / Nance / Chriss
10-14:
DSJ / cj / GB / Zeller
15:
Love ???

Same here, I am not excited at all, in fact with the ROOT sports debacle there are so few streaming options to watch games I have decided to not change my current streaming subscriptions and simply not watch games unless the Blazers EARN my interest to watch (not optimistic about that) or ROOT becomes more available - just tired of watching RERUN seasons.

Dante Exum got waived by the Rockets. He's infinity times better than Elleby.

I watch illegal streams. I'm not paying them ****, haven't for years. I don't think I'm allowed to say which sites for some stupid reason, but dm me if you want to know which ones I use.

Re: Preseason Game Tonight!!!
Jabari Parker just got waived, classic Olshey move about to happen? He’s a lot better than Blevins and Elleby (barfs in mouth)* Can we waive them or are they guaranteed? Also, why are they still on the team????

We all know why Blevins are on the team but one wonders if Portland will pick someone up off the waiver wire to
replace Elleby.
