    Very impressive win

    Blazers were short handed but they were up 20 so it wasn't easy regardless

    Team has potential to make some noise. Keep building on defensive identity. Players learn their roles. Silas develops as coach. Offensive chemistry will continue to improve.

    Coming back from 20 down to win is success.

    Solid win. I would have liked to have seen a few subs entered earlier in the first quarter given how inept the starters were playing on offense. Felt like we had a few opportunities in the 3rd and 4th to pull away and get the deficit to 15+ points but we got a little sloppy on both offense and defense. Lineups wise, I would have liked to have seen a Cousins/Wood lineup and I still think those two can do interest things on the floor together.

    Overall, this is a fun and good team. We're somewhere in the 7-10 area of the Western conference. On our best day, I think we can beat teams like the Jazz and Nuggets, but we aren't good enough to really take on the Lakers, Nets, etc. That's my early review, I guess we'll see.

    If we make the playoffs this year and even to the 2nd round, man, great trades with lots of flexibilities for the future.

    I like the change. MDA wouldn't have played half the young guys Silas is playing, and if he did, they'd play half the time. We've got a good young coach here, and like the players, he's got something to prove. I'm diggin' it.
