    I know winning doesn't matter this year, but this team doesn't feel like it has any future.

    This Blazers team will never suffer from dysentery because they never have those long runs.

    The first half looks like strangers were made to make a team and play together for the first time.

    Mavs up 30-16 pip
    Dallas fast breaking with ease. Even after made shots. Chauncey's baseline squish offense is coughing up easy buckets.

    18 minutes for Ant and 9 minutes for Sharpe. I hate that

    I don't think this roster as constructed has any future but Shaedon definitely has a bright future, Scoot definitely has a bright future, I'm not sure if it's in a starting lineup or off of the bench but Toumani has a very bright future, we already knew what Deandre had brought to the game in the past.

    I don't think having Ant allows Scoot to get cooking as hot as he's capable of. I know Jerami is taking shots away from guys who have a higher upside. I think Malcolm would be far more valuable on a playoff team as their facilitator and perimeter defender who can hit open shots. I like Tisse for the role he fills so if no one values him enough he can be here for the rest of his career.

    We will need to add talent through the draft and trades but if you see the core of this team as Scoot, Shae, Toumani and Deandre, I think that a well built roster with that foundation definitely has a very bright future... as in a future that's a few seasons away from being really really bright.

    6 assist and 0 turnovers for Scoot is nice to see

    If he took the points it's very likely at -110.

    Our offense is just Grant isos or bad quick shots.

    I think despite his glaring weaknesses Deandre really helps this defense function at a lot closer to an acceptable level.

    Zero movement or creativity on offense. It's horrendous. Chauncey should at least take some responsibility. I hope they're active are deadline to trim some fat from the team.
