    Need to dump Brogdon. Not at all interested in watching this dude come in and dominate the ball.

    Ah... yes. Who needs facts?

    "Always" becomes "in those 10 games (as long as you didn't watch them)".

    Ridiculous.

    If we are being honest, this team looks like it has 5 NBA caliber players at the moment.

    Simons
    RWIII
    Sharpe
    Grant
    Brogdon

    and one completely incompetent head coach

    I haven't watching the game because have the blazers TV contract and blackout. But Billups had 9 days to get this team to play there first game and just totally inexcusable for the showing tonight. I never was fan of his hiring and yet he has shown me that's he a head coach in this league.

    just going by the mood here, i don't feel like some of you realized what this team was getting into when they decided to blow it up.

    the funny thing is the people complaining were the ones calling for a demolition loudest.

    Hey! I was calling for a Dame call early and often, and I'm not complaining about this game at all. I'm only lightly complaining about Grant :)

    If you're talking about me, I don't think you're paying attention to what I'm saying.

    I called loudly for the demo and have no problem with the result. Give me another top 3 pick and let the cake bake. Probably take another coach soon though.

    What is Scoot doing? Sitting over in the corner. I don't care if it's Simons or Brogdon. I don't want that. Sorry you don't understand.

    Oh I see so the first 70 games where he was what 8th man off the bench watching Dame and Ant dominate the ball stuck in the corner was a good time to see his passing skills huh? Dude get real, Sharpe is actually a quite good passer and is NOTHING LIKE the way Ant is with his tunnel vision. Sharpe was told to shoot the ball when passed to him until the final 10 games when he had ball handling and playing making duties and then he passed very well. He also passed extremely well in the pre-season. So yes, ever since Sharpe has had any amount of touches and ball handling duties he has been a willing passer. He also didn't get assists while sitting on the bench, because like being stuck in the corner, it doesn't tell you much about someone's passing abilities for the same reason, you don't have the ball in your hands. Context is pretty relevant, and again, Sharpe is already a more willing passer than Ant has ever been and it's not remotely close. Nor does Sharpe have "black hole tendencies".

    This game is an aberration...

    We pay Ayton $32.5MM this season and he's taken 2 FGA's!


    Sometimes teams lay duds.. sometimes Steph Curry goes 0-11 from 3..

    better off we laid a dud vs a good team like the clips rather than one we matchup with better..
