    If we’re just gonna get our asses beat, might as well trade Grant and Brogdon sooner rather than later so we can get our asses beat with more assets.

    I don't see anyone comparing Scoot's night to Amen's or Brandon Miller's.

    Cheapest pair of tickets for Sunday is $90 just to get into Barclays. Ya I'm passing on that. Think I've seen this team enough live; they're not fun to watch anymore.

    I mean, I don't want anyone to get injured, but to be honest, I don't see how it can make us any worse.

    I think Cronin may have sat on the Brogdon chip for too long.

    His value is probably as low as it has ever been.

    his last assist was a travel, fall down, scoop it Shaedon for a layup. The refs let it go because they feel bad for Portland.

    Hence some things lead and some follow
    Some breathe gently and some breathe hard
    Some are strong and some are weak
    Some destroy and some are destroyed

    Dallas is the nightmare matchup for the Blazers. Even without Doncic, the defense is in your face, and they run so much they're running off of made baskets.

    They do and 10X better at shooting and scoring. But Dallas is only one team of 30.

    The Blazers are still capable of beating a lot of other teams.

    scoot passsed on few open 3-pointers, once to shot mid range and the other time he slashed to the basket (both times failed to score)

    he shouldnt do that stuff when hes wide open, when he has a player in front, he can pump fake and move to mid range or slash to the rim
