    If he is smart or has any self-control, he'll need to fake it for a season or two.

    If you have issues with multiple franchises in a row, everyone will assume he's the real problem.

    Sharpe was drafted for his potential. Not as a finished product. Hell, he didn't play for like a year.

    I love watching teams that move the ball crisply.

    I think we all want to see signs or glimpses of stuff. And not just once or twice a quarter.

    I sincerely think people need to dial back the expectations for this season.

    Feels like the one spot by the blazers bench both teams keep stepping out of bounds

    DeAndre looked totally disinterested in that last play.

    Either he's gassed or going full Ayton on us.

    Is it too early to start talking about the draft?

    It’s just a game. Not a single aspect of it is within our control. There’s literally no sense in worrying about it.
