concerned though, actually more about the defense than the offense. Mike Brown is supposed to be a defensive coach. I've been one of the biggest Mike Brown defenders on here and we'll give him a little time to get his pieces acclimated and let Dwight get in game shape, but the expectations are there. We're the Lakers.

You'd like to dismiss the preseason as "meaningless", and we always struggle in Portland regardless for whatever reason. But going winless in the preseason then starting off 0-2 you kinda have the tendency to wanna string those numbers together and now we're 0-10.
