    Simons seems to play best when the game is out of reach.

    Love this rec center ball, I always loved playing with that one dude who takes all the shots and sometimes makes some that encourages them to keep going.

    Grant needs more than 12 shots. Especially with Lillard out

    Simons really seems miscast as the primary ball handler and decision maker. He's a 2 who can get hot, but his playmaking has to improve if he's gonna play PG.

    Yeah I’ve been listening to the game on radio but sounds like a huge FT disparity

    Good point. I always snarkily think that before he signed his contract the Blazers management watched him get hot during shoot around and that was the deciding factor.

    I miss when we were winning and were talking how we were underestimated. Seems like we were estimated correctly.

    this, and his ability to improve has to factor in for any potential decisions about trading him.

    Whether a season, or a game, that has been Ant's M.O. for much of his career. A mercurial hot streak.....surrounded but a lot of much colder streaks.

    Teams are flat out outscoring us and we're giving them the ball all game...not a good look
