    You can tell Walker’s put a ton of work into his game. He’s a great guy to have in the rotation

    Sorry everyone. I know this will get the mandatory Homer “He’s young. Give him time. It’s only been 5 games only 19,” responses but I simply don’t see anything from Scoot. I see nothing special and his shot is completely broken.

    the winning confetti has been accumulating for quite some time. It's going to rain victory in Portland.

    6 assists in 16 min: Scoot dont suck. Far from it. That is what this team has needed for YEARs. A guy that makes other Blazers’ game easier. He just needs reps and working on the shot

    Maybe? Just feel that team is underperforming.

    He can definitely play but he can't throw a dime into the ocean. He might be below shooting 8% from 3 after this game.

    That is horrendous not even rookie Westbrook shot that bad .

    Grant: 27 points on 12 shots. He's so much better when the majority of his offense is on spot-up, catch-n-shoot, and quick slashing drives. When he's free-lancing ISO and over-dribbling he's not good at all. He's a great 3rd option and poor 1st option

    now 30 points on 13 shots

    On a night when the Blazers will most likely break 30 assists that number isn’t special.

    Grant and Brogdan are serious impact players

    Scoot has 6 dimes but he's shot 14% in this game and 0% from deep.

    It’s time to start pulling Sharpe when it’s garbage time.

    Wow, incredible that Rupert was full court pressing Olynyk on ball and didn’t look that small.

    I really hope he pans out.

    He actually got taller since we've drafted him according to a couple articles I read...he's still growing..look at his arms and hands, he might end up 6 10 by next season (we can wish!)

    not really shocking but more a continuation of his play before his injury as well. He's got a learning curve and I'm sure he'll sort it out

    I'll be happy with the 6'7 without shoes that I've been hearing. He's pretty much the same size as Joe Johnson. I'm very happy with that for a guard.
