    Too busy watching my Wildcats beat Duke, why did Simons get only 5 min?

    Point differential is an NBA cup tiebreaker so it could be the difference in getting invited to Vegas.

    Blazers won for a change. Probably their best game of the season.

    Haha. That was intended as a response to a text from a friend. I have no idea what happened LOL

    The very sad thing is, we know Ayton and Simons will be back. Ayton especially. Not a lot of stand-still mid-range shots in tonight's game.

    I’d say we look better without Ayton and Ant, but shooting 60% on 3s kind of has that effect

    We should try and win the cup and then tank the rest of the season to get Flagg

    Hope Simons is ok.

    But honestly loved watching this team play without him or Ayton.

    I'm fine keeping one of Grant Ayton Simons if need be, but two of them MUST GO

    Great team win! Guys played like they wanted to save Chauncey's job and they probably did tonight! Deni had a great well overdue game and Timelord should be the captain of this team...he's a beast with the heart of Ed Davis! (Ed is playing is the Philippines this season)

    Robert Williams and Deni Avdija are good fits to play with the young guys. They don't need shots, but they can score. and both are always playing defense.

    This team has a ton of potential. I just don't think Chauncey is the one to unlock it.

    Unfortunately Rob is a ticking time bomb.
