    so one bad game defines that? for a 19 yr old rook with no college experience, expect a LOT of ups and downs

    I think he figured he could shoot from anywhere.
    When instead he still has to get to his spots on the floor.

    The biggest take away from Dame being out is that Simons is clearly at his best when he’s playing point.

    I think he's peaked. I really do.
    I just don't "see it"...

    This is how tight and early it is in the season.

    Blazers went from tied for 2nd, to now the playin, after 1 game.

    The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!

    I'm struggling to see it with Nassir, and imho, his contract is about right for his production.

    I won't be sad if he's traded (not advocating it mind you).

    The one down side to playing a lot of zone is the opposing team gets a lot of offensive rebounds.

    Way too many 2nd chance points for the Bucks

    Reminds me of a less productive version of Nic (Blazer) Batum.
    Nic would at least give you a 27 point night once in a while, just to remind us he's out there, but this guy, just runs around, gets his 5pts a night, and rarely affects the outcome of a game.
    I think of an old friend I lost decades ago, a very big man, kinda like John Thompson, and he would always yell "WHAT DO HE DO?????"
    That's how I feel about #10.

    Good scouting let to open shots? I know Terry Stotts tried that on Steph Curry, but we know how that ended up. Open shots are open shots. He was hitting them before, just not hitting them now. It will even out.

    One game doesn't define it but it's tough when the rest of the team is performing at a higher level and you end up with a close loss.

    Hes weak that’s why he’s cheap and didn’t want to bet on himself. He knows he’s not that good either

    Don't think anyone's mad.
    But almost everyone played well enough to be closer at the end than we were.
    There were a couple players who got too much playing time (Sharpe and Little) and I'm hoping the coach makes some adjustments next game.

    I was being sarcastic since people are saying he’s been scouted. His rough game had nothing to do with being scouted. He just wasn’t hitting shots he normally makes and was shooting more jumpers than taking it to the rack (which most teams do against Giannis).
