    24 second violations to begin and end the game. Nice

    Every win is a nice win at this time of year. But we still can't run people off 3 point line. 129 points way to much. But we got 27 assist tonight Dame had great with 50/13/6. CJ and Whiteside had good offense night.

    Dame's stretch the last 3 games has been ridiculous.

    This Dame stretch actually reminds me of Kobe's torrid streak to drag his 12-13 sorry ass team to the playoffs after they had a bunch of injuries following high expectations.

    He tore his achilles right before the playoffs that year.

    Hope our cavalry can help ease Dame's load a bit better

    Nice to see Trent getting more and more run. Teams are having to respect him out at the 3pt Line and opens up the floor for the others.

    I won't throw young players under the bus until there 3rd year. Yes is not playing well right now and that might he why he starting to get less minutes every game. Trent got 26 minutes tonight it good see that he taking the opportunity to run with it.

    It’s hard to say this but, Trent is better than Simons

    Just give more minutes to little and bench Simons. Kid at the very least needs a break.

    At this point yes. In the future probably not. Simons is still too young and raw. The Blazers hoped to accelerate his development. Looks like it is going to take time.

    Simons hit the wall.
    Expected.
    We'll see how big of a Sophomore slump he has next year.
    (I'm aware he's not a rookie and will be entering his 3rd year in the 20-21 season)

    Unless there's an actual reason, this really rubs me the wrong way. They played the Nuggets, and even that is a poor reason not to show up. It'd be like if Lamar Hurd or Michael Holton didn't show up for a game. They aren't vital to the broadcast.

    If there isn't a reason (illness, death etc) It's a slap in the face to each and every fan who cheered for him. EVEN with them playing the Rockets soon, why not come here early for the 90's night and soak in the adulation?
