    ULM is trying to come back. Blazers better wake up.

    How does ULM get challenges? They aren't an NBA team.

    The Blazers have the most confusing looks on their faces when they commit fouls.

    Blazers always supersede. At least that’s how it’s been in the past.

    How is this German team keeping it close?

    I don’t have the energy to find a feed for the game.

    Obviously, a very good performance for Scoot. Did everything well. Something he should be able to build on.

    Honestly, I wonder how much of this is just in his head now. Ulm is pretty good for a Euro club team. In the 2H, Scoot just did what he wanted, got to the basket at will.

    Noa Essengue will definitely play in the NBA. Looks like a player, a bigger, much better Banton. Only 17.

    The Blazers totally look like they could win a Euro championship!

    Scouts aren’t stupid. Scoot is a generational player. All Star in 2026.

    That would be awesome. He certainly has the physical tools.

    This team looked better than the Kings. I was at the game and followed every detail of both.

    gotta mention before the haters wake up and see we won again

    This game was ragged. ULM played at 100 mph and swarmed on defense and shot threes every chance they got. It was not a game that suited Clingan, for example, and it meant a lot of opportunities for our larger, more athletic players to go it alone, so the assist totals are not great for us. Basically it looked like an all-star game, and I don't think we can learn much from it other than Scoot looks great when the defense isn't set.

    This is one of the most intriguing seasons in recent memory. Aside from Grant and Thybulle, each player could make some sort of leap, and how much of a leap the different players make is extremely interesting to me. My guess is that we'll win somewhere around 33 wins. I understand that's not enough for some. But this team is so young, that growth trumps playoffs this year.

    Surely the replays were better though.
