    Grant is better than Walker, it's not even close, and I like Walker... also, I didn't mention scoring as the reason.

    fantastic game. They were fully healthy and we are out two large contributors in Ayton and Sharpe.
    This team is getting better. Its not all about the numbe4rs. The eye test says they are starting to know each others tendencies and gel better. Still alot of work to do, but the strides are evident, both individually and as a whole.


    On the side, I was at the game in a suite and I have to say. Its the first time in a few years i've been on the club level and the level of disappointment was overwhelming. When I used to go to club games on the regular, there were different types of food all over. Chinese, Mexican, Italian, plus the normal pretzel, hotdog, popcorn vendors.
    Now there is virtually nothing. A pizza bar, a salad bar a Mexican place and a couple of popcorn and hotdog stands.
    Just when I thought the Blazers penny pinching on the fans dime couldn't get any worse, I was mistaken again. Probably because they have to spend so much more money now on IT tech support to fix the continual issues the app and digital everything has created....

    Anyone else been to club games over the years and seeing this? When I first became a season ticket holder, they used to have buffets even. Fricken vulcans are ruining evreything for the fan experience.

    Walker basically took the game over in the second quarter for a few minutes. We gave him a standing O for the effort.

    Rebounding and playing with energy.

    The first 3Q of the game last night, Grant played like he was high (and/or didn't care). Slow on rotations & slow to get back. Very lazy.

    The last 6 minutes, Grant played with much more energy and effort on D.
