    How does a team lose to the Wolves with Edwards sitting out?

    I don't know what he was doing tonight, but he sure wasn't coaching.

    See there’s these rules, and the rules seemed to apply to the blazers, but they did not apply to Minnesota.

    Think about me. My g-d brother calls me to brag and then claims the only bad call in the game was when the refs called a kicked ball on MN that wasn't.

    Would have been a good night to give Kris Murray more minutes. And Scoot.

    I'm actually a fan of Chauney's but he needs to figure out when to follow his scheduled rotation and when to stick with the hot hand. You just can't put Shaedon on the bench when he's hitting on all cylinders. Let the dude keep going until he misses a couple in a row and get him his rest then. That pissed me off. Shaedon does share some of the blame for letting it take him out of that zone but he had 13 points to lead the team and had done it on I think 7 shots. He ended with 14 points on 14 shots.

    It's pretty easy. If a player is playing for shit, switch it up.

    Grant was brutal, again. Forces horrible shots and makes risky turnovers with no benefit even if they were caught.

    At least we only have to watch him until 2028, when he'll be earning $36 million.

    That's the problem when you're obligated to play the veterans. Too many mouths to feed. We should be feeding Shae, Scoot, and Ant the most.

    Yeah Scoot D has been impressive. Wasn't bad earlier this season but has got even better the past month.
