    It’s just an issue in the world right now, not just you. People don’t read past a headline or part of a sentence before becoming outraged.

    Simons downgraded to questionable for tonight. If he's out our chances of a win have been downgraded to "lmao".

    Whoa that is insane. Hope he is back sooner than expected. Losing the top scorer ain't good. Going to be a CRAZY season! I guess Shaedon starts now? Brogdon will be fine with more minutes.

    wow.... things are sure off to a turbulent start to my blazers fandom...

    its just been 1 regular season game yet so much has happened..

    they can just stretch the minutes out between Scoot/Brogdon/Shae/Thybulle

    but this leaves lots of questions still. whos the next man up? Rupert? or will we possibly see more Kris Murray trying to fill in more as a wing player than combo forward?

    or are we gonna run up the Skylar Mays two-way contract games-active count right away? which seems likely

    a solid test for the squad were facing adversity

    after this, 6 out of the next 8 games are on the road..

    I caught some of Orlando's first game Cole Anthony really played well..

    I wonder though how Jerami Grant can handle Banchero...

    Seeing Fultz vs Scoot should be fun too.. Scoot can take 15 shots per game now with no Simons around, so its a good thing they had him prepped to be the starting PG all preseason and not a backup, training wheels are off immediately with no Simons.

    Long as Ayton gets more than 4FGA's ill be happy. We really might need Ayton to hit a 3 if the floor spacing goes sour without Simons around...

    He could also be listening to his agent. One would think, like Grant this past offseason, teams would be willing to overpay for a veteran that is willing to teach youth.

    Here's the thing..... Blazer fans by and large are extremely fickle. People stopped coming and blamed it on the Jail Blazers, but they didn't come back when the Jail Blazers were gone. They didn't start coming back until Roy and LMA showed up and started winning.
