    At this point getting #1 this summer isn't even enough. Barring Sharpe having some kind of Kobesque ascension, they'll still suck ass next year too.

    When you don't have a jumper it's always time to drive. Dude needs a jumper to play off of

    Well, nice try Blazers. I’m please with the effort and all around improvement of the team. On a side note, I realized I am just not a Banton fan. I can’t stand watching the Blazers when he’s in the game.

    Saying this for years
    I think all his problems stem from not having played enough quality basketball and received good instruction and worked at his craft. BTW, that plays into the lack of confidence, too.

    Part of the reason his shot is bad is his decision-making. He just has such a poor feel for the game, for the flow. Comes in tonight and first thing he does is drive for a tough, contested reverse layup. Didn't even give himself a chance to run up and down the floor a couple of times.

    I'm not going to beat a dead horse. I just see a guy that never learned to play, for whatever reason, and I think he's so far away that he's not a rotational player on a playoff team on his first contract. I've seen a lot of guys who didn't have a good shot who learned to play around it, but those were guys who had really high basketball IQs and Scoot doesn't have that and just looks lost.

    Good job!

    Remember the assignment, team. Keep losing games. Do not win.

    On a positive note we didn't lose by 60 again! Baby steps!

    Bad game for us but 81-1 is still possible.

    Was at the game tonight.

    Scoot... whatever spot we're drafting at this next year, if the BPA is a point guard, take them.
    Clingan... tough, but big and slow. Looked really slow out there. But he's tough. Hopefully he's Prybilla with a 3pt shot.
    Deni... he'll be a great Alfred if we ever find a Batman and Robin.
