    Thybulle didn't even bother raising his hand to contest.

    What happened to the dude who was blocking threes last season?

    It's a shame that he and Grant have seemingly both stopped caring about winning plays after getting paid this summer.

    Refs are making this insufferable.

    Yup. I want them gone. They clearly don't want to be here.

    Brogdon looks like he fits here great... I'm not in any hurry to see him traded, even though if the price is right i understadn..

    That comes from being on the same page. Which takes a coach having a plan.

    Well it's not so bad...only 8 down at half. Sure not protecting the rim...why is Ayton not getting much burn again?

    Looks like the starters just not doing the job. Scoot 0 assist so far this game and looks like Grant is not living up to his contract.

    Scoot looked great. He can't get assists if nobody is moving to get open.

    He was very active.

    sharpe looking good and Grant led a fast break

    and am I the only one who thinks there are too many lay-ins for the bad guys when Ayton is on the floor?

    Shaedon's handles are better but he really needs to work on his shot selection

    That's a lot when your the Blazers these days.

    Foul trouble. He is not doing much with the time he is getting.

    Ayton's getting even fewer shots than he got on Phoenix...

    Brogdon has one of the ugliest, flattest, shot-put shots I've ever seen.

    He's not putting himself in a position to get shots. He's standing around.

    Wiz, Orlando is seemingly getting to the cup at will. 34 to 22 points in the paint differential and 11 to 6 from the free throw line. Their young bigs are just better than our young smalls right now.
