    EVERY time I see him without the ball and run to the corner and hold, I know its a wasted possessions...Chauncey needs to put a hard limit on that.

    But we knew Ant was going to be our best player back in September.

    Approaching the rotation as if the team is trying to win games, what a concept.

    I think the idea is that Scoot learns how to play in those game-ending situations and not try to do too much, exactly how he played at the end last night.

    Brogdon seems to be the only Trail Blazer that can run a pick-and-roll with Ayton and throw the ball to Ayton's head instead of his ankles.

    This sequence ended with Ayton scoring and Nurkic getting hit in the face and falling down.

    I would prefer Scoot to start, but I'd also like Ayton to be getting the ball at better spots.

    I couldn't watch the game, just checked the box score Sharpe with 0 points in 8 minutes. Fuck did he get injured?!?!?!?!?!?

    Abductor soreness ok I think that's probably OK if it's not as bad as Lillard hopefully. At least it's not a lower body injury.

    He was questionable before the game as it was.

    That is the rule, but that rule gets trumped by the superstar 'rule'. If Scoot does that, they probably call it correctly because he is a rookie. Durant does it and he is a superstar, so they have to make some type of call or he will eviscerate them on a burner Twitter account.

    I suppose that's also the reason why Booker can whack arms (Brogdon) and bear hug/ shove (Scoot) and not get called.

    You might remember the possession where Brogdon was bringing the ball up the court at his usual slow pace and Booker whacked Brogdon's dribbling arm (right arm) with a referee looking right at it. Brogdon kind of paused as he kept dribbling at looked over at the referee in disbelief, raising up his left arm.
