    He's not a fit next to Dame but he needs to run the offense better when Dame's on the bench.

    People can chill on Ant too. The dude has a beautiful jumper and a bunch of other shots. He's just feeling the pressure of playing with expectations to win. His shots will start falling but he will not be a playable defensive SG at any point so our back court will still suck on one end of the court but let him shoot his way out of this slump on O.

    Some felt that Sharpe is now the best player on the team on Wednesday. Got to say...this Lillard guy seems pretty good.

    I really like Hart but Chauncey needs to put him on a dribble restriction. The dude needs to know his role and not try to do everything himself.

    You want Josh Hart dribbling the air out of the ball and looking for his own O like he's Dame?

    Blazers have had about 6 possessions where they could have tied or cut it to 1, but they keep missing shots or coughing up a turnover. And they can't stop the Suns on the other end

    there is a reason why we didn't go down 20 while shooting in the 30% range with so many turnovers

    Their passing is sloppy tonight. too many telegraphed passes.

    Probably a symptom of not playing together enough to know where to be, etc.

    It should be way better given the moves we made.

    We were sloppy with the ball last year to start the season, even though we returned all 5 starters from the previous season.
