Geez that was ugly. We should have beat you guys by 20 tonight with as many more shots that we had over ya. That pissed me off.

Nate needs to get the guards to throw the fucking ball to Oden more in the post. And gawd, keep Miller in the game and quit the time share shit with Blake. Miller's better. Duh. Give him the job.

Yeah your back court is the Nuggets of '06 with Blake and Miller, 'cept Nate's got it backwards. Blake is Miller's back-up. Nate really needs to make that call. Time-share pg's won't get Portland anywhere this year.

Oden's coming along.

I don't know, I think still Oden is big dumb oaf out there. A long way to go with him.

Ty Lawson looks pretty good, I'm surprised. I didn't think he'd be much of an NBA player honestly.

Will be interesting to see how the Celtics develop, and if they can stay relatively healthy. I think they have 16 blocks in their first two games. Their bench got so much better with Wallace and Daniels, it's not funny. Pretty good statement game in Cleveland opening night.

But it's a LOOOONG season, we'll see how it plays out.

Indeed. I was talking in the sense that he was actually on the floor in a physical game in the 4th quarter without yet falling out to injury or fouling out until very late, which I don't think I've ever seen him accomplish until last night. Baby steps with that guy. Definitely a long way to go with Oden.

Yeah man. He had a pretty unremarkable game last night as I expected he would after the late travel out of snowy Denver, back-to-backs, rookie, etc..
Dude was taking the Utah game over the night before though, picking right up where he left off in the preseason.
Even last night he had great composure for a rook. Ty's a considerable factor this year, which I had hoped for but didn't necessarily expect. Right now he looks like a very nice addition that's ready to contribute in a big way out there. Coach sure likes it.

Boston does look like the top of the east jrk. Bulls might have something to say about that tonight though you know it! lol
Haven't watched the Magic. They'll be all the better when Rashard's back from suspension.
I think Cleveland is screwed. Doesn't look good for the Cavs scheme this year. That's just bad basketball. Be funny shit if the TWolves beat them tonight.

Spurs. I dunno HaddaVH. Everyone's sold that they're 2nd in the west, but I think the Nuggets would have kicked the Bulls in the nuts last night in Chicago.

The Mavs are in big trouble. Jet gotta drop 35 on LA tonight.

Nice to see that Golden State is already in mid season form....

score 100.....lose by 20

Brett · 10.31.09, 11:39 AM

It's only the second game, shit the Lakers played terrible last night too.

steve mcqueen · 10.31.09, 12:30 PM

The Warriors open the season with 8 games against lottery teams.....and they're already 0-2

Nice

With all due respect to the suckyness of the Clippers franchise.....Golden State sure gives them a run for their money when it comes to how not to run a professional team.....

Yep, the whole team looked out of sync .

Brett · 10.31.09, 01:50 PM

No Gasol, just a bad game.

Wruff_ajax · 10.31.09, 03:42 PM

I knew Shannon Brown had mad hops, but daaaaaaamn. His head was over the rim and still gaining altitute on that put-back. Crazy vert.

seenbad · 11.01.09, 07:39 AM

Blazers look HORRIBLE so far this year. I'm so disappointed. I mean they just look terrible....except for Roy and Aldridge's offense. That is IT. I've never seen worse defense from them.

Brett · 11.01.09, 10:35 AM

Too early to worry about anything.

lovemachine97(Version 2) · 11.01.09, 07:26 PM

It's like the Lakers suddenly realized the preseason was over in the middle of the 3rd tonight...

Brett · 11.01.09, 07:51 PM

Yeah they looked mucho better tonight. Artest looked much better, didn't shoot great but played a nice game, ran the floor.
