This reminds me of the start of the 2006 season....won opening night, lots of buzz around the team...

That season ended real bad.

Neil Oshey hasn't been spending front office money for a better deeper roster, instead investing in hyping this team with marketing.

Also pelicans coming in on a back to back.

Would be nice to see if they finish this game without letting the pelicans back into it....last years team was notorious for giving up big 4th quarter leads.

 

[OregonDucks]

Lillard fastest nba player to 600 threes.

 

[OregonDucks]

Keep lillard benched! No need to play in garbage time!

Damn this a fun team to watch.

So the notorious 4th quarter collapses wasn't a team issue, seems to be a terry Stotts issue

 

[OregonDucks]

I think vegas has portland at 26 wins......let me give vegas a call.....again....

Portland lost their best player and are beating a team with many injuries. Portland will for sure win the championship this year.

I'm just looking for a 7 or 8 seed from this team.

This one is likely to end badly too. The Pelicans are decimated with injuries. They have something like 9 players available. Portland is projected to be last in the West. They just lost too many players in the off season.
