    That excuse can only be used for a short while. He needs to show improvement, and not make the same mistakes he did last year. I don't get how his shooting can be has bad as it is *still*, after spending the off season supposedly working on it.

    We need to fully guarantee Banton.

    Fouls mostly?

    I'd rather him make mistakes in this game, and get as many minutes as possible to see what he can or cannot do.

    Banton comes in and makes things happen. Not a good juxtaposition. I hope Scoot can have a positive impact. He’ll probably need to come off the bench and be given time to get used to the game.

    Sure. I don't think the time limit for showing improvement has passed. He does need to show it. It's just preseason though.

    Our offense just looks like crap. No movement. No hard cuts... No space...

    Then no boxing out on the other end.

    I just don't see team basketball. Either these guys are bad students or...

    Not sure if Scoot could have had a worse start to the preseason.

    I literally turned on the stream mid shot on a Camara airball 3.

    That’s the Blazers I know and love!

    He’s a Blazer after all. I’ll be rooting for him regardless.

    The 1st half looked a lot better than the 3rd quarter has looked. Both teams should be embarrassed.

    Balmer’s a bright guy. I’m sure preseason doesn’t faze him
