So…we are, in fact, secretly stacked

[dirtymcnuggets]

If this is secretly stacked, Portland has been secretly stacked for 15 years.

[HatefulBread]

When Clingan said his practices were way harder at UConn that was the final nail in the coffin for me to keeping Billups. I wanted it to work out but its just not happening

[rjejames]

Blazers are a promising young team, 2 to 3 years out missing a star.

[Lilsyphilis]

Team is sneaky decent but the coach is terrible

[Tom-rh]

Blazer fan day one. Billups is exactly what this blazer team needs. Maybe scoot turns into a point gaurd if he improves. Physically has the tools but no feel. Clingon will be a long term defensive presence. Avilla is a player right now. Tank and learn and hope for #1 in next years draft. Im in.

[bige]

Billups is the absolute worst coach in the NBA. He doesn't develop talent and has no game plan come game time.

[johnzcarrell]

No guys. The Blazers don't yet have THE guy. They have some nice but developmental and mostly unproven players.

[slim]

Blazers definitely steering into the skid they literally have to.

[crazekananas]

As a blazers fan, I totally agree we have a lot of talent. Only problem, many of those guys genuinely do not care about basketball. Ayton, Grant, and Simons are three of the most pathetic "professional" athletes I've ever witnessed. They do not care if they win or lose. They care about their pregame fit, next baby mama, and 2k rating. I cannot stress enough how pathetic and embarassing those guys are as the face of a team.

[streettoughfighting]

Really hope that this is the last year the blazer employ Billups, dude is a defensive assistant at best. Simply having Billups coaching secures the tank, Blazers ain’t getting anywhere near a play in conversation.

[MrJcbird]

Blazers will have a top 10 defense. If
they can learn to score points they will surprise the league

[Dietylc]

Blazers are top 4 in the west! Having Scoot - Sharpe - Camara - Walker - Williams/DC as a second unit will be the league’s best. Simons - Thybulle - Advija - Grant - Ayton can compete with any starters.

[johnloftus]

If the Blazers don’t make an effort to get Avidja the ball, and run the floor, they won’t win 20 games. Blazers play a form of street ball that looks good in preseason but will pale once the regular season defense starts.

[bkelly]

I think Blazers are gonna suck forsure the west is too good and Scoot and Sharpe have some star upside maybe but need time and are not the foundation of a future contender whatsoever imo so they desperately need a Flagg, Bailey or Traore next draft

[TjC-hb]

i think we are better than the warriors, spurs, memphis, utah, NO, and houston in my opinion. are limit is injuries but fully healthy we are a 7-8 seed.

[DannyMiller-pu]

Are you nuts you don't try to trade up copper flags is Worth it I don't care what you guys think

[JohnnyPdarosa]

☝️Trailblazers will be 8th Seed & i'm a kings fan☝️

[parkboi]

We have a good team but Chauncey sucks hopefully this his last year!!!
