    Just to difficult to throw it to Ayton, who's 9-13 in this game.

    Ayton looking like Kanter on defense.

    These game are tough to watch. No movement on offense. Allowing layup after layup on defense.

    I guess the good news is that we just have to correct those 2 things. Offense & Defense.

    This is painful to even attempt to watch. Uninventive offense. Still can't defend any variation of the pick-and-roll. Sharpe's looked awful lately. No Scoot.

    We're pinning our hopes on watching Camara develop when, in all likelihood, Camara might be at the very end of the rotation if the Blazers are a true contender.

    I watch this and worry about Ayton and Grant checking out mentally before Christmas. I don't think Brogdon will, but I also am pretty sure he'll want out. The shame is he's a guy we could use to help mentor the young guards, but, right now, it doesn't look like there's anything to develop. This looks like the Sixers during The Process days.

    My boy Sharpe been playing like trash since that thumb injury news came out. Not all can be attributed to the injury but your thumb is practically half your hand. That can explain not making shots but the turnovers are a different issue. He's shown enough, I still believe in him. If the team is forcing him to play to sell tickets, that's fubar

    Sharpe said the thumb isn’t bothering him. He’s just playing bad. He’s young, it happens.

    When Sharpe can't even guard Grayson Allen one-on-one, it's concerning.

    What’s wrong with Sharpe? He’s doing nothing out there. Not scoring, rebounding, or getting assists. For a supposed up-and-coming superstar, on a team that needs his contributions, he is sadly under-performing.

    It could get a lot uglier if they move Brogdon and Grant at the deadline.
