    If only Ant can average 6-8 FT a game like Dame, we will be good

    I don't understand why he fell out of bounds with no contact. Cost us the game.

    Man, I don’t mind losses this season but these games vs the Warriors are the ones you want to get. We get them 2 more times this month and again in April.

    That’s cause Donkey was waving his hands and screaming to his teammates.

    It should be Sharpe that averages that.

    Considering Brogdan, Grant and Ayton were out of the game we held our own....I don't know why Camara and Henderson are shooting threes with a one pt game in the 4th instead of Sharpe and Ant though. ..I'd have left Murray in the game given how he was playing and had no foul trouble.

    Scoot looked great. Regardless of box score, the team is better managed with Scoot rather than Ant. I thought Ant looked good for his first game but reinforces even more why he needs to be the super sub in the long run.

    Loved Shae, Scoot, Tou and Bari. Kris Murray looked pretty competent too.

    Shaedon is a good on-ball/POA defender. He is an elite one-pass away defender. But he is absolutely horrendous on weak side/team defending. He constantly gets beat back door and loses his man. He got beat and gave up 2-3 easy buckets down the stretch tonight. This is probably just a function of focus and experience. Once he learns and figures it out, he’ll be on a trajectory towards superstardom.

    everybody is asking where Sharpe was in the 4thQ...well, he in the corners watching Simons go full-tilt-iso-dribble-frenzy-on-steroids. MeJ reincarnated. I kept track: 9 straight possessions for Portland in the last 6 minutes and it was all Simons trying to create. No team offense, just Ant doing his thing and doing it poorly. Sharpe didn't touch the ball; not once. In fact, I think the only time Sharpe touched the ball in the last 6 minutes was when he got fouled or grabbed a rebound.

    Simons 27 shots in 37 minutes; Sharpe 18 shots in 42 minutes. Ant completely froze Sharpe out of the offense in the 4th Q. I sure the fuck hope this isn't a sign of things to come because it will be pretty damn boring unless you're a giant fan of Ant

    I would have preferred Scoot have the ball and Simons play off the ball more at the end.

    I hope the ending of the game is not what the future will be like.

    Box score looks pretty bad.

    I might quit watching the games if that's how it's going to be.
