    Easy win against a trash team right?

    Ayton out is big. Can Nurk put together back to back dominant games against the Suns’ frontcourt?

    Zero confidence after that awful first half in the Memphis game. The offense was really really bad with all the turnovers. All but leading the league in TOs and not on the low end! Portland also relying too much on individual shot making; near the bottom of the league in assists. Not a recipe for success.

    Suns are going to want to lay a beat down after losing to us.

    Their game plan is going to be to smother Simons probably with Bridges.

    Blazers can probably beat Miami but not sure against the Suns back to back.

    Yes, sure, but we need some good guard play too.

    The off-ball player movement isn't at all what it was when we had the 4-game-win streak. Too much standing around.

    You keep working these games and these teams are without key players. Yes, It might just be you. #BAM

    maybe at the back end of the road trip (games 4, 5, 6)

    but id be okay with him missing entire road trip, calf strain can lead to achilles injury and the season just started, no need to risk serious injury

    It's because he took his wife on the road with him "Suns Ayton out, lower back and hip strain with moderate dehydration".

    We need Sharpe to get mega aggressive. We really, REALLY need that. It's my sole concern about him. Can he stop deferring and worrying about TO's and just attack? Also, can people get the ball to him on cuts how many times last night was he doing a perfect cut and Simons or another player through the ball wayyyyy off target?

    Shit I was told that our Blazers are deeper than the Clippers. These injuries shouldn’t slow us down at all. Not with all our depth.
