    Grant was 8 - 17 on three pointers. That's 47%.

    The rest of the team shot 5-18 on threes. That's 28%.

    THATS HOW YOU GET A TOP PICK FELLAS. LOSING LIKE THAT IS GREAT!

    Great team loss! Proud of the boys!

    Okay so I missed the game taking a nap. How did Coach Billups motivate the group tonight? Any amazing plays from coach?

    Great results. Grant building his trade value. Blazers lost.

    My biggest concern is Cronin. I have this ugly feeling Grant will be with us after trade deadline.

    Not all the time, but when you’re hot, keep shooting

    I've actually been more impressed with Ant these first 2 games than most of his previous seasons with the Blazers.

    It looks like he's playing within the flow of the game and actually trying to play defense.

    I wanted him traded during the summer- but Im willing to wait it out to see if he really is making progress

    We’re 14th in the conference but only 2 games out of 1st! The West is tough. Anyone can win it!

    Who would want Ayton? I think the Blazers are stuck with him 2 more years.

    Ayton and Simons are each on expiring contracts after this season. If they are moved, it is hopefully for youth/picks. Nothing long term. I don't know if anyone wants to give up anything for them. The smart move will be to just let them expire if they can't get anything of value. If they can't get that value, and faced with letting them walk for nothing, I am afraid Cronin will make a ridiculous offer to one or both to retain their value despite the market showing they have no value. RLEC on steroids.

    The only way we are a good team is if we are a bad team! Keep losing, you're doing great Blazers! (I can't wait for the front office to ever care about the team again, this sucks, but we must lose in the short term to win in the long term so let's gooooo)

    Bullshit. This team has been tanking for three years in hopes of an elusive superstar. They got a couple of serviceable players. And deeply entrenched a culture of losing. Being unwatchable.

    3 years isn't long enough. It was never going to be long enough.
