    Just realized the starting center matchup is pick 1 vs pick 2 of the same draft class.

    When I heard Duren was out I thought, "Is it just @THE HCP or do we always play teams when their best players are out."

    Shae is going to be an elite scorer in this league for a long time but it's nice to know he can positively impact the game in a lot of other ways.

    That was nice! But I am loving Shae's passing man. He needs more credit for these passes.

    They're saying Scoot is 1-3 but I'm pretty sure one of those was a lob that he misread and Ayton didn't pick up on what he was doing. So it should probably be a turnover.

    I dont know if i'm the only one, but i feel like every shot and possession by Grant is a waste, because he has no long term future at the Blazers

    Sometimes he's as out of control as Scoot.

    I feel like it's a waste because the opponent knows he is going to iso, can easily double and doesn't have to play D because he isn't going to pass the ball. He gets stripped alot or loses the ball off of bad dribbles in those cases. Not helpful.

    Dude is going to be a black hole until the day we trade him. If he gets the ball, there's no way he's giving it up unless he is triple teamed and even then I'm not so sure. Let him get his points, let him prove to a playoff team or contender that he's a great third scoring option, a solid defender and get the most value for him possible.

    It's going to suck watching him ball hog until sometime between mid January and the deadline.
