  1. We are going to find out real quick how healthy Dame is and if he is back. He is going to have to do a hard carry job if we want to survive this nightmare early season schedule.

    as a Stotts and MDA stan, it’s still preseason.

    not optimistic though.

  3. sean_buttcannon

    At least Shaedon sharpe is cool!

    Nothing else about the game was tho!

  4. Nerdkill789

    At least with Stotts the offense was not so stagnant. Billups has slowed the offense down and the defense is just not there. This might be a loooong season.

    We used to run on ball and off ball sets that I don’t think we do anymore. Everything can’t be “Just cut man”.

    Yes it’s “only” preseason, but that doesn’t change the fact that 4/5 of our starters got rolled by the GS reserve guys. Buckle up!

  6. schedule makers did the blazers a favor frontloading it so much

    itll be really obvious by the trade deadline what path this team needs to choose

  7. toadtruck

    Not gonna blame players, but I sure as hell am gonna blame Billups.

  8. RipCityGringo

    If the sky is falling doomsday naysayers are right how many amazing Sharpe dunks will we get if we are getting blown out every night? There’s always a silver lining…

    Season is going to get toxic incredibly fast, from fans, the media and maybe the locker room. There is really not much redeemable about this team right now.

    Here come the “it’s just preseason” guys…

  10. Vfbcollins

    I honestly don’t know if there has been a decision since Billups has been hired that I agree with his judgment.

  11. blinkomatic

    Jabari Walker still the king of +/- #FreeJabari

  12. RipCity-NBA-LoL

    Is everybody okay with pretending that never happened?

  13. Noogyfresh13

    Love the Sharpe love, but dude had our worst +- on the night at -27. Worse than Keon and I thought he had a pretty atrocious game. Excited for Sharpe, but he’s still got a long way to go on the mental side. Understandable, but we gotta temper expectations…Dame was a leader as soon as he stepped out on the court in his rookie season. That’s not Shaedon.

    Dame going Super Saiyan, Jeremy having one of his best seasons, Ant continuing his ascent, Nurk being solid and getting Nurk Fevery, and GPII being a true leader and setting the tone on the defensive end is what we need most. If those things happen, we can make some noise.

    Big if’s tho..

    The offense looks like im watching college ball.

    I was against it at first but I’m warming up to having winslow start, im really not liking what I’ve seen from hart defensively and especially offensively.

    hopefully gp2 is able to light a bit of defensive fire to the team once he is back

    If our defense looks bad in the preseason there’s no way it’s gonna look any better during the regular season. I’d love to eat my words but that end of the floor is a lot on effort and a good scheme. And we have neither right now

  16. I still holding out until Christmas…. But Victor Wembanyama welcome to the Blazers.

  17. Proper_Hurry_362

    Crazy theory: start Jabari at the 3. Gets 15-20 min a night. Helps space and rebound. New Batum. Win.

  18. lanesraa

    Can’t believe we gave Billups that long contract

  19. GlueGuy00

    I feel like the FO gambled on having a healthy Dame and Sharpe showing flashes throughout the season to keep the fans engaged. This roster doesn’t play like a team out there. Both players and coaching staff MUST step up!
