Also, if Conley is out, it’s a great time to start Shaq.

He needs to play. I’m not sure I’d start him against Dame but I’d like to see him against dame. I’d worry a bit that his over aggressive style and being a little amped up for the season might lead to early fouls and the penalty. I’d like to see him pressure their backup guys and get a couple steals/loose balls.

That said I’d likely get real hard if he started.

I think the elevation and the fact the players sleep in their own bed is still a bigger advantage then screaming fans. If the bubble was any indicator maybe its an advantage not to have fans for Mitchell.

It’s much more likely that the bubble’s effect related to depth perception—better visibility of the rim, in particular.
 
Have we ever won a season opener in Portland? Iirc, It isn’t an uncommon opener for us...

I've always preferred closed off gyms to open air arenas... I always thought the NCAA having their final four in football stadiums on an elevated court to sell some extra tickets was crazy stupid. There were a couple low scoring championship games that suggest this is a thing.
 
Dame and CJ give our scheme issues. I'll bet Dame scores 40 tonight... we still might pull it out though.
