    The bench did a great job that was good and both ends. Swanigan 12 Rebs and Layman finally got shot go end Collins 7 points.

    It will come down to Briscoe and Marrow.

    Jerry Reynolds: "the Blazers are a veteran team, and played their veterans tonight, and it showed."

    POR had the youngest WC Playoff team last year, 7th youngest in NBA right now, and POR's average age is 0.7 years younger than SAC's.

    The swing pass from Collins from up beyond the arc was more decisive than anything I’ve ever seen Meyers do. It was just a pass, but he KNEW what he wanted to do and didn’t Nards out. It was a small play but said a lot to me

    If Morrow isn't in the rotation there's no point in him making the team over Briscoe, especially when we already have a one dimensional player as insurance who doesn't actually count against the roster.

    A lot of the main guys just looked tired like it was the first back to back of the preseason. But I thought Pat looked good playing with rotation players, Layman actually played well, and Nurk is hilarious (he'd piss me the fuck off if he weren't a Blazer :bgrin:).

    Collins looked more determined tonight. Maybe because coach only played him 12 minutes. Pissed him off.

    I am guessing he will struggle, but only because he is a young rookie with one year of college ball. Long term....I am excited. Between Dame, CJ, Nurk, and Collins we would have 4 smart talented starters....who can all pass and have a good feel for the game.

    Thought Collins and Biggie looked good. So did Pat for the most part. Nurk can't let himself get bugged so easy.

    Could Morrow help add another dimension in the post season? Yes, Briscoe? Doubtful.

    Stotts says post game that our starting 5 tonight is NOT (necessarily) the starters for reg season. Neither was the rotation. Despite Quick being so sure that’s what we’re seeing (Quick even asked the question lol)

    This is good. I really want biggie or even Collins to start at the 4. Not Aminu. Am I nuts?

    I would hate him if he was not a Blazer. He is a little too smug and cocky. And at times he appears too lackadaisical. I want to see more intensity and less theatrics.
    I still love the guy though, and I love that he gets under opponents skin, but he needs to stop playing for the cameras.

    Just because we don't see as much of Marrow does not mean that he won't make the team.

    Morrow is strictly a spot up shooter. Doesn't move off the ball. Not hard to defend. Its not much different than what Connaughton brings.
