    Having a G-League team in Portland makes active tanking a very simple process. Cronin can send the Uber Driver to pick up X,Y,Z Blazer kids, instead of spending airline fees to fly the 3rd string players across state lines right before tip-off.

    There's just no point for Scoot or Shae to play in SL this year.

    Scoot has proven he can play against bench scrubs. He has proven he can play in the G League. Why play in a glorified rat ball league? He's down there. He's practicing. It's fine.

    On paper I like our chances.

    Could honestly be that people are talking about Clingan after SL is said and done. 2 1/2 hours until we have a glimpse.

    I'm excited to see this guy play at the NBA level.

    How rare is a back to back NCAA champion in the NBA?

    Before Noah and Florida in 06-07 it was the 1991-1992 Duke Blue Devils with Grant Hill and Christian Laettner winning back to back. Looks like its only happened 8 times that an NCAAM team repeats as champion.

    Before that it was John Woodens UCLA teams.

    TGWH so far

    Plodding a bit
    Shot looked good, if not slow
    Going to get a lot of fouls.
    Looks great at rim defense
