    Scoot, Rayan, Kris and Donovan all look like they are going to be really good players..it was good to see Deni hit a few shots tonight...he was turning into Victor Claver...maybe his slump is in the rear view mirror.

    Cronin wants to play the fence.

    Don't understand how any Blazer fans continue to defend this franchise continuing to go with a core big 3 of Grant/Ayton/Simons. Even in a win its frustrating to watch. In a loss it seems beyond pointless to have them in the way of players developing.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the first time Chauncey has beaten Lue?

    What's the deal with Simons forcing the issue at the hoop? It seems like in his mind defenses don't make adjustments, so he doesn't either. Except they do.

    Fuck him for that if it's true. Fence riding is one of the worst things in life and the absolute worst thing in professional sports management.

    That more than anything else. Good minutes from the 24-and-under crowd across the board

    I was super excited to see what Rupert did out there tonight in his 8 minutes. Enjoyed his 8 minutes more than the other 232 the rest of the team played combined.

    Cronin straddles the fence like a stripper on a pole.

    Wow you are nearly correct.... Blazers have lost every game against the Clippers since Billups has been the coach except the second game which was game 5 of Billups first year on Oct 29, 2021.

    Olshey was still our GM.

    Yeah, it's like he he's scared to go all on the youngins and complete rebuild. He wants to keep guys like Ant, Grant, and, Ayton around to try for a quick rebuild. He seems to be at least trying to wait it out before he has to make a choice between the two, maybe hoping some of these youngins develop sooner than later and can fit with the vets to win.

    FWIW, Clipper broadcast showed that Camara block, and their view showed it go off of Powell's hand. They admitted as much and didn't complain at all about the call.
