I cant wait to see how CJ Mccollum fits on this Blazers squad and if he's any good, cause if he is, that could be huge for them

Statistically, Blazers bench has been kinda mediocre. But last year's was worst in the league, so mediocre is a huge improvement. McCollumn should help. Another three-point weapon for Portland sounds scary...

Blazers made the plays down the stretch. I'm not gonna whine about the foul disparity.

it's the quality of the calls, not some arbitrary number

Remember guys, Portland media said LaMarcus REALLY wanted out.

It's one thing to ask for the team to improve (like duh, what serious professional athlete wouldn't want that?), and it's another to paint the picture that he wanted out, despite everything to the contrary.

Portland attempted 23 threes compared to 11 for us. OKC was driving all night.

The game was fairly called. Looking forward to the next 3 games against you guys. Glad the season's going well so far.

More teams need to tweet like this. Make them worth following.

He wanted out unless they could improve isn't fair to say?

*Checks box score of portland game* Damn 38 pts for Aldrige, pretty damn efficient at 17-28 from the field.

Those two go at it all the time Portland had a pretty good one on opening night when the suns twitter asked what people expected from the game and Portland tweeted "an easy win".

But really if the suns played the blazers and rockets for 82 games they would beat the bull's record.

Good team. Actually better than my Warriors. Who knew?

BillSimmons: I think Billy King should be the NBA's Exec of the Year. He helped build a contender in Portland, and it looks like he saved the Celtics.

lol fucking cruel.

Blazers are 8-1 vs. Playoff Teams

Notice there are no ISO plays, either. When LMA gets the ball, it's after a successfully run play, and not out of desperation.

22 to 11 in assists tonight. And yeah the knock has been 'they're reliant on the three' - well they still made a decent clip but missed a ton of wide open looks. Love their demeanor too. They're focused and I hope they can keep it (think they can).

Nice to see Wright play well too.
