    I see trades coming soon. We’ve got some deadweight that needs to be cleared out if our B team can contend with the Suns’ A team.

    I like the hustle from Henderson tonight. Triple-Double watch. 31 pts, 9 ast, and 7 reb.

    Any lineup we put on the floor is a tankling libeup.

    Improving his rim efficiency has to be # 1 on Scoot's to do list.

    He's 7 for 21 today on two point shots. Once he figures out how to finish, so many things will open up for him.

    I haven't been watching only checking the box score but at one point scoot had 20 and ten assists why'd they take away one of his assists?

    "We made the other team's starters play the entire game."... i heard it on Blazers Edge last month. An incredible accomplishment. Portland is wearing out the entire league!

    Yeah, there better be a trade announced tonight/tomorrow because this roster just makes way more sense without Jerami and Malcolm and they in theory would bring a good amount of value back (Tisse as well).

    Ant is our new Z-Bo. Puts up huge numbers on a losing team.

    Respectable effort by the G league allstars tonight. Rupert, Scoot, Jabari, Khris, Duop all really impressed me. Simons had a better game tonight too.

    33, 9 and 7 ain't too bad though. Sure the scoring could have been more efficient but he only had 3 turnovers with all of that usage.

    He missed a lot of floaters also on which he had got himself pretty open.

    Shouldn't have lost that game, we were the better team.

    Poor substituion patterns, too slow on timeouts, taking out the hot hand... this one is on Billups!

    Ant is our Z-Bo because he's basically wasted here and once we trade him he'll realize his potential. I love Ant but unless they want to build a roster around him that looks like what the Nets have, I don't know what we're doing with him.

    I’ve noticed it ever since he’s been a Blazer.

    I'm wondering why Scoot puts up 31 shots. Michael Jordan only averaged 23 per game over the course of his career.
