    Sharpe keeping the Blazers in it.

    Blazers need to stop making Garza look like an all-star.

    Dame should stop deflecting to Simons to get him going. He needs to get going and the team will follow his lead.

    Glad I missed most of the quarter. Saw the close by Sharpe. Nice.

    But now he's standing next to Timberwolves - it's all about context

    The passing has been brutal. The have Dame credited with 2 TOs but he had or caused 3. The team seems asleep. As least a nice close from Shae.

    Some of these passes...WTF?

    What's worse iso dribbling and jacking a 3 or horrible passing leading to a fast break?

    Looks like a preseason game. Team is beyond frustrating.

    I’m sorry to say, but this is not a well-coached team right now. I’m starting to lose faith in Chauncey.

    Forget any strategic philosophies, this team lacks in the simple fundamentals. Lack of focus, constant turnovers, inability to make good passes.

    Grant looks like more an All-Star compared to Dame

    Straight line drives through the entire defense for a layup? This team is so poor defensively.

    If Grant isn't on fire pouring in 20 points so far, this would be an abject blowout. So disappointing.

    Sharpe's biggest advancement since the start of the year has come on the defensive side

    I don't know where we would be without Grant this year. Sharpe seems to be playing more like a man since his first couple minutes. Maybe it's confidence...
