booooo !! These refs suck. Ayton got whacked

 

Dort AIR BALL !! lol

 

What was that, Simons?

 

It's maddening. I do think he's pretty good defensively. If we want any hope getting anything out of him on offense, Scoot needs to play with him.

 

I rarely see Ayton play, the last time I saw him on the court was in a playoff game against the Clippers when he was in Phoenix. Got serious Andrew Bynum vibes from him. Talented, naturally good at basketball, but would much rather build computers or go bowling. I still remember that article from a few years back on ESPN about his video game obsession, going to practice on two hours sleep. I don't know how his season has been so far but if this game is any indication, let him sit on the bench and play Nintendo Switch or something.

 

Scoot is killing OKC

 

Give Scoot a couple offseasons to work on his game, trade Ant/Brogdon and make him the lead guard and he will become the best point guard in the league.

 

Jerami playing bully ball on offense

 

This seems to be the type of game that big Max level type players get up for. How’s Ayton doing?

 

Scoot is orchestrating with the ball. He looks to be shaking his defenders much better tonight.

 

SGA having a REALLY bad night.

 

SGA missed 4 straight jumpers

 

Bro had some Sleepy Time tea.

 

Icing Jerami on his free throw making him miss.

 

Portland's starting guards have 11 assists and 9 turnovers

 

Ant can't play PG. He's not Shaedon. Or Scoot. Or Malcom.

 

It's the Blazers.
we'll take a net positive on any stat

 

SGA makes an SGA shot
OKC can tie the game

 

Where was the foul there?

 

2 Blazers mugged him. Pick a number
