    Rupert should be in the rotation. Take minutes from Brogdon and Grant.

    Rupert has developed so much in the G-League. Looks nothing like he did in Summer League. His future is bright.

    Is Jabari Walker the 2nd most tenured Blazer?

    Yes he has. He's worked hard on his ball handling, finishing, and 3-point shooting. His defensive effort was always good.

    Billups running full court press down 24 with 40 seconds left. The Laker announcers got a chuckle out of the "way too late" shift in defensive strategy.

    Don’t really watch Blazers much anymore. How was Poop Henderson?

    Murray, Duop and Rupert played really well together in the G league...they ran a lot of fast breaks...I like all 3 of them.

    Rupert looks like he's improved so much from the start of the season. Wish I could say the same for scoot.

    Ant scored 5 points on 5 shots in his 5 minute share of "developing the young guys" 4th quarter action.

    Scoot is the guy that Dame left over, that alone carries some baggage. It's like when JJ Hickson was supposed to replace Lebron when he went to Miami. Tough act to follow. Scoot has been humbled after coming into the league with all that hype and alpha swagger that got nipped in the bud right out of the gate. He's not leading this team and he mistakenly thought he would be post Dame. It ain't the G league anymore. The kid is another year from clicking at the least

    Malcolm averaging 21/7/7 last 3 games. The trade-a-Blazer crew is salavating.

    Hard to click when they're playing him off ball so much next to an undersized guard. Let Scoot and Shae be the starting backcourt and let them succeed and fail.

    If I'm coaching he comes off the bench and studies Brogdan all season...he needs to learn to be a pt guard by example, not trial and error...his coach is a HOF pt guard, there's no rush to get him up to game speed. It'll come. People want him to dominate at 19 and he's just not close to that level yet. If I have an Andre Miller type I don't start Nolan Smith.....Brogdan is a lot like Andre ..that's what Scoot needs to learn....for one, how to finish a layup with his left hand. Scoot is and always has been a very promising project. I believe winning and playoff experience are the best teachers. Tanking is for losers

    I just noticed ESPN still has Brogdon in a Celtics jersey. Portland never even sent over an updated pic ... lol
