    Henderson looks totally lost out there. Can’t shoot a lick, can’t avoid fouling, can’t get an assist. He is in way over his head.

    Not bad all things considered. Sharpe/Ant looks deadly offensively which hopefully puts Grant into more of a finishing role. Also excited to see how Ant can open up Ayton offensive game.

    The key with Scoot is going to be if his shooting improves going into next season. Give him one year with the team to see if he starts showing some marked improvement going into next year.

    No way Camara and Scoot should have more shots than Sharpe.

    Good thing OKC beat the Warriors tonight. I thought Golden State had that.

    Dallas was missing some players too. But i'm sure we'll hear how the undermanned Blazers worked incredibly hard against the mighty Mavericks.

    Great job scrapping, fighting hard, hanging in there, and not letting it blow out. Very happy with the effort.

    He can't get an assist because nobody can shoot.
    He got the ball to Walker right under the hoop. Not Scoot's fault.
    Got the ball to open shooters in the corner.

    We’ve lost way more without him. Too soon for anything definitive

    Anyone else cringe whenever Scoot touches the ball?

    Yes, that's unacceptable.

    The "rule" that if you're open you should shoot is what Dallas was hoping the Blazers would adhere to.
