    Blazers seem to be a lil regressed to me or it's just my imagination? They were supposed to be one of the higher seeds, up and coming and all that.

    They lost Aldridge, Batum and Mathews. I was hoping they would suck more.

    Didn't they have a similar start last season, but only picked up after the ASB when Lillard had a chip on his shoulder for missing the All Star game.

    That Lillard buzzer beater against the Rockets got to their heads. It's the best they will have for a long time. All downhill after that

    Suckas.

    Seems like Lillard does a whole lot of talking.

    Maybe he's just making sure everyone know's he's been done wrong, instead of putting in the work to get better.

    Dame D.O.L.L.A just did a super legit cypher on Sway's radio show this morning. Maybe that's what's tipping the balance.

    but seriously it was pretty good.

    Because they signed that scrub Evan Turner and overpaid the **** out of Allen Crabbe. It was more of a shock how well they did last season.

    Never good to overpay role players and that's really all they have on their roster. I mean im sure the loss of Aminu hurts a little but not enough to help them lately. Overpaying Turner and Crabbe was the dumbest move by ownership. I would've let them walk and signed role players for cheaper. Greed is a b****.

    From what I saw in the game vs. the Rockets, they lack toughness in the frontcourt and their perimeter guys are defensively challenged. One of the poorest interior defense I've seen this year. They couldn't stop the Rockets guards and wings who were attacking the paint without hesitation.
