    Blazers need to set a rule never to draft the brother of someone already in the league... especially if that brother is good.

    Yes. He is very scared to be compared to him and for good reason.

    Camara is the one that reminds me a lot of Keegan Murray.

    Agreed.
    I was very much in the trade Ant camp.
    He could always score, but tonight it came more within the flow of the offense & he gave a lot of effort on D.

    I want to see this play out a bit longer. Ant may actually turn into a positive player.

    We always get the lesser brother. Except for Mason plumlee I guess, but that's not saying much.

    Way too early hot take on Murray, but he feels like Luke Jackson. He’s not especially athletic. He isn’t a deadly shooter. I think he got drafted way too high.

    Blazers launched over 40 threes
    in preseason,
    against Utah?.
    sounded like a chuckfest

    you listen to Coach, and walk away thinking the Blazers won by 30. It's fun times indeed. :-)

    I don't have time to read everything, so question about Grant. 24 points, but 2 reb and 0as.
    I don't like it. Am I the only one that wants this guy gone ASAP?

    That was college. LaMichael James was amazing in college. He was out of the NFL in just a few years. College success does not guarantee anything in the NBA. Look at Adam Morrison.

    And people are judging Kris over spot minutes in summer league / preseason. Jeryd Bayless was summer league MVP. Nic Batum sucked. IIRC it was Wes' injury that gave Batum playing time and he capitalized. Let's wait until we see Kris play extended minutes before we count him out.

    I thought this would be a slaughter but Blazers fought their way back. Chucked too many quick threes final minutes.
