    It'll be hard to stomach if both Scoot and Simons start, with either Avdija or Camara on the bench.

    Makes more sense to call Grant the SG. As has been mentioned, he already plays like one.

    Wow! I'm glad Chauncy did this, and didn't give into the hypothetical pressure to start Scoot.

    I think it's better for Scoot that he not have the pressure of playing big minutes.

    The game is on League Pass. My DVR will automatically record a three hour message stating the game is blacked out in my area. Does anyone know if a Blazervision subscription on top of a League Pass subscription would allow me to watch (and record) the game?

    Scoot and Sharpe coming off the bench could be fun.

    Warriors and Blazers are both starting 3 players who are primarily thought of as forwards. I sort of expected Kerr to start his tinkering with Wiggins as his SG as they need whoever is starting there to be the primary ball stopper & Wiggins is good at that. He's also trying to wedge Kuminga into the starting lineup & it's either at SF or moving Green to the 5 and wearing him down over time. The question for this mix is whether it provides enough perimeter shooting. Portland going with the 3 forwards provides some interesting switch-ability on D. I can't wait to see Deni's debut

    of course they are, coaches & especially players always give their best at the start of the season. If results go sideways, over time management may direct it's coaches to reel things back for a tank... but for now it's time to see if they can rack up some Wins
