    I'm curious about the 8 man rotation. Is it evaluation period with Grant out? Are we protecting trade assets from injury? Making a playoff push?

    Man I see why the blazers were considering the Thompson twins over scoot. Might as well drafted one of them bc scoot can’t shoot for shit anyways

    Yeah, I know coaches coach to win and players play to win, but there should be some sort of mandate to see what there is in guys like Rupert, especially if we're shorthanded

    Why isn't Banton playing these days? Is he injured?

    Jason Bennetti is great. Lucky to get him tonight. One of my faves.

    I don't know if he's hurt, but Banton has the worst True Shooting % on the team since December 1st.

    Would he be out there for his defense?

    He calls games for every sport. One of the more exciting play by play guys. I think he’s based out of Detroit and calls all the Tigers games. As well as NFL and lots of college football.

    Kind of a cool story, he was born with cerebral palsy and has been in a wheel chair his whole life. He’s still just one of the dudes and is the best in the biz in my opinion.

    Murray is good around the basket. If he could just learn to shoot threes!

    Huh I never knew that about him and I've watched him plenty. That's badass.

    Becoming a little concerned about the hands of Clingan...Seems to be right there with Nurk. Still early in the career.

    Ant and Shae having really good games. Happy for Ant. He's been playing well for a while. Why does Clingan look slower and mobile? Which is saying a lot. Disappointed in a terrible game from Scoot after seeing progress. Tou is old reliable. Kris for Deni?
