    Start Toumani. See if he can be even more impactful with the starters.

    If anyone has earned it, he has.
    He's hitting his shots, and is one of those players you don't want defending you if you're the opponent.

    Why is Ayton’s picture so small in the player lineup?

    Trying to get a better picture. Wanted one in the Blazers jersey. It's temporary.

    I wanna see Sharpe be really aggressive today. I also want to see serious minutes with Sharpe and Scoot both on the floor together. I can finally watch this game so let’s get it Blazers!

    Side Note: If y’all would pray for me and my family that I get to sign the contract for my new job this week or next at the latest I’d appreciate it! I have the job offer and have done some preliminary work, but the formal work date has had to be pushed back. I really need to get that in place for budgeting etc.

    So you are really James Harden?
    No seriously. Good luck. Hope it works out well.

    Is Kevin Knox definitely out of the rotation now? Hasn't played in the last two games. Or is he injured or Billups thinks he already knows who he is as a player so wants to see other guys?

    Knox is not an NBA rotation level player.
    I would not be surprised if he is cut in the next 2 weeks.

    He’s a guy with a history of knee problems who plays for the Blazers… I’ll pick injury

    Probably not. He will play to start the season though.
