    Once guys get paid in Portland, the fans become much more critical.

    Ant has skills, but has yet to put together a solid stretch in meaningful games, so hopefully nobody thinks he'll be our 2nd best player this year.

    I want to see a “jumbo” lineup

    Dame
    Hart
    Walker
    Grant
    Nurk

    or something like that

    Only 7 points off the bench and if you don't see Dame playing 38 minutes a game that's has improved. I don't know many wins you can get without scoring on the bench.

    I would like to see Nas do more. He's kind of just invisible out there.

    Which is fair. People judge the performance vs pay. Once Meyers got $10M and he was still a dumbass things changed. I’m ok with Justise Winslow. Because he makes $8m. If Justise got $20m I’d want him gone.

    I'm not sure how to quantify how fair it is. If people think a player writing their name on a piece of paper will significantly change their abilities or mindset are setting themselves up for disappointment.

    Personally, I expect Ant to be on off-season better than he was last year, not 5 times better as his contract would suggest.

    Need an offensive rebound from him. Or maybe he's thinking twice about that these days.

    Blazers really don’t look very good. Glad it’s pre season.

    Grant has easily been the most impressive this early preseason. It’s not even close

    I don’t get how you could not love Winslow. The man has high basketball IQ and just plays the game right.
