Forget about the first game and move on. Always tough at the Rose Garden. That crowd will be crazy. Shut them up early and let these guys play the way they're capable of.

I'm ready for win!

Better get the lube ready cause we're gonna get bent over

0-2, we are going get pounded in this one.

This team needs to get away from the Princeton offense. Run the offense through the post and don't wait until the :01 mark on the 24-second clock. And RUN when you have the chance! That is why we got Nash in the first place.

DO NOT neutralize Nash's talents!

Joel Freeland debut. Leggo UK.

I'm not on board with this sinking ship sentiment.

I see the Lakers winning tonight. Even if they haven't jelled yet, there's too much talent not to win some games. The Lakers weakness is that their bench sucks. It will be nice not to have to hear how great Jodie Meeks is from emonk.

**RollWithEm** · 10-31-2012, 07:37 AM

Hey Jodie Meeks' first shot looked very clean last night... and for all I could see that was the last significant play he was involved in.

Ron is the only one on board the sinking ship sentiment.

There is not a defender in the league Lillard would rather start his NBA career against more than Steve Nash. Good sledding young fella.

If they played Dwight and/or Gasol closer to the post like they should the Lakers would be horribly difficult to score on in the paint. But instead Dwight looked like some out of place roaming help defender last night, albeit I only saw the first quarter and some highlights.

He doesn't drink the Kool-Aid. If they lose this one, we can kiss the title hopes goodbye. This would be coming off losing to the Sparks in the Mojave Desert and the D-fenders in Reno in front of hundreds with Rob Sacre holding down the pivot.

What happened last night has no bearing on this game. We have enough talent to win every game. Unfortunately, we usually play like shit in Portland and the blazers hate us so bad they play with a lot of fire.

We'll see.

League pass free preview? I'm going to the clippers season opener and wondering if I can DVR this.
