    I’ve always been big on Rupert. The game doesn’t look too difficult for him

    I understand the Blazers infatuation with Hansen. They think he has the feel of Jokic.

    So far, I'd say he has shown a lot of flashes of what could be. Still needs some work (but honestly, who doesn't?).

    I think once he scores, it'll probably make things come easier and quicker to him.

    Honestly, it was pretty beautiful. Selfless. He understands that other people are hungry for a roster spot

    Even though he got stripped, it was a helluva move by Yang.

    Rupes and Yang look like they belong in the NBA. Not sure about the rest. Rupes looks so much better than he did two years ago.

    I’m thinking Yang has starter quality.

    I suspect this game will end up being close, but I don't care.

    He's gonna have to work on that fore-arm shove when he's with the team.
