Preseason is rarely a thing to judge but MAN did they look hopeless and shitty, getting absolutely bodied and looking clueless.

Chauncey Billups seems to have no idea what he's doing; he will be better obv but 44.5 was already a high number for me and fully expect them to come out of the gates playing like dogshit.
I didn't want one second of the preseason, but I was thinking of going over. 3 teams tanking in West (Ok City, Houston, Minn) and 2 teams expected to take giant steps back due to injury (LAC, Denver) and you know Lakers are going to be dealing with injuries/resting all season.

Just seems there is a lot of wins up for grabs for teams like POR. And this could be bad memory and completely wrong, but I feel like they played real well at the end of last year when they got Nurkic and Powell in the starting lineup.
