    If Eubanks is still switching to defend guards, Payton won't help at all.
    If that BS comes to an end and Payton is defending and stays with the ball there could be a noticeable improvement.

    Just do more of this.
    If letting Sharpe perfect his ball handling and finishing comes at the cost of games we might lose anyway, it needs to happen.
    Because there's no way he's going to be easily stopped.
    The next time he tries that move it might be a turnover, or it might be a jaw-dropping dunk.

    It's interesting the Blazers waived Sarr who would definitely play if healthy, to sign Badji who might not see the floor this season.

    I say go with whichever has the highest ceiling. Is either better than Watford right now for our 3rd string center? Sarr might have played if healthy, but is he now?
    This is where the scouts need to be effective.

    Very shorthanded tonight but I still think we can get this.

    If we can score 13 points every 2:30, I like our chances.

    Great start!

    our lineup this game and the last one:

    PG -6'4
    SG - 6'6 and strong
    SF - 6'8 and long
    PF - 6'8
    C - 6'11 and strong

    kinda nice not being undersized

    their floor design and the wood panels going sideways instead of in alignment with the boundaries of the court are giving me a headache.

    whoever designed this needs a kick in the pants.

    We know that markannen is their most dangerous 3 pt shooter, yet Winslow gives him too much room twice already.

    Apparently Blazers have been told to ignore Vandrbilt on the perimeter. Has anyone checked his % on corner threes?

    Referees sure call it close on rookies and let everyone else grab.

    It'd be nice for Sharpe to posterize Okynuk.

    ridiculous finish with the left by Ant.

    His very vocal critics predictably absent yet again.

    Though we have kept the previous pace, going for 160, with 92 from Ant should be enough!

    whoa Ant just did a thing. He is really confident out there. Outstanding quarter for him.
