    He'll go on a short hot streak in the 2nd half to make the number look better.....but overall, it will be not very good.

    considering all the stupid fucking turnovers and how hot shooting Cleveland has been Blazers are really lucky to be only down 9

    and the scorekeeper, at least on espn, gave one of Ant's turnovers to Grant. jeremai should protest

    He's due to go off in the third so he can disappear in the fourth again.

    16 and 6 for Allen at the half

    I expected Mobley to be better based on the narrative, he's still pretty raw

    i see the potential but at the moment Allen does have more impact

    Bright side: committed endless turnovers, leave the wrong guys (Mitchell/Garland) WIDE open but only down 9.

    I'm not sure Mobley is wired to be this alpha #1 option. I think there are a lot of fair comparison between him and Anthony Davis.

    If you put Mobley on a bad team, he'll put up crazy number. If you put him on a really talented team, he's comfortable being an elite role player.

    Again and again the highest scoring backcourt in the NBA is left wide open.

    Glad to only be down 9.

    hes just ... not doing anything. just standing around. i don't think he has a great grasp of the flow where he can read and react.

    would be nice if we can run a few plays for him to get him re-engaged.

    He'll be ok, he's a very inexperienced rookie.

    dont ever use +/- as something relevant, its trash as it gets

    grant has 21 pts on 6/9 shooting, 2 reb, 3 ast, 2 stl & 4 to and is -11

    simons has 3 pts on 1/7 shooting, 2 reb, 4 ast & 4 to and is +5

    If Shaedon’s shot isn’t falling, you can’t play him. He’s not moving and cutting as he did earlier in the season. He just stands in the corner. You’re essentially playing 4-on-5 on offense.

    He hasn't been the beast for years. I would love to see him play at that level again. I beg him too.
