    I understand this is preseason but what exactly is Chauncey trying to see with this lineup?

    Blame Whyachi
    I just turned the game on 10 minutes ago, and the Blazers haven't scored a basket since.

    Put Simons in that lineup instead of Mays. At least Simons will shoot.

    Trying to make sure there are no expectations. Expectations are the path to the hot seat.

    Last unit is pretty bad right now look like summer basketball. Mayes dribble to much and there know movement with either the basketball or players.

    I don't understand benching everyone. Or playing 5 3rd stringer lineups. This is pre-season, but it's also the best practice - especially for a team returning almost no players from last year. Why waste it doing nothing?

    NBA is a tough watch I bet there’s been a foul call 80% of the possessions.

    No idea how Moses averaged a double double for like 30 games. Thunder gave him a 4 year deal and then cut bait on him before the first year was even done. That should have been a sign.
