    It's officially garbage time. Put in the 19-year-olds and other rookies.

    Why in the world is Grant still in the game???

    Almost every advanced stat favors Reath, and that’s without even taking the eye test into account. Every lineup with Reath does better than similar ones with Ayton. Even PER, which favors raw stats and centers who simply have a high FG % and rebound numbers, somehow favors Reath who does none of that.

    I think Ayton is clearly more talented. That’s not really a question, but he’s low BBIQ and plays with half effort half the time. Waste of space.

    Grant needs some more numbers still.

    DeAndre has 5 different band-aids on his right knee. This year's batch of Toradol is diluted.

    The Lakers are a bad matchup for us. They are long and lanky and play physical. And supposedly they “just don’t foul” on defense either.

    Ayton, 7 foot center who has a TS% worse than the league average.

    Somewhere HCP is in Laker gear jumping up and down. This is embarrassing. Please trade Ant......and keep Walker at all costs.

    Probably going to lose the challenge. It was right on the edge of the rim about to come off. A half second later and it would have come off enough to touch it.

    Exactly. It’s the truth, not a “take.”

    Mychal Thompson suggesting the Blazers are stat padding. Playing rec ball defense.

    Scoot HAS to develop something that makes the defense honest or he’s gonna have a fruitless career. He’s only 19 so there’s tons of time to tap into that potential
