    Kris Murray, 1-9 POS. What a waste of a draft pick.

    Anyone that expected us to win this game without Grant, Brogdon, Sharpe and Scoot and playing guys that have spent the majority of the season in the G-League is stupid.

    So glad we've developing Minaya over Rupert. Was afraid Chauncey was going to do something stupid...

    Ant and Ayton had solid games. Respectable loss given the injuries and guys out tonight.

    We had 7 players who went 0 for 16 on threes, Murray the worst at 0 for 6.

    If the Blazers are thinking at all about trading Brogdon and Grant then going full tank mode they absolutely needed to lose this game.

    When Matisse got pulled early in the game and wasn't on the bench I thought, he's been traded, then he came back.

    If you're watching the post game... we're really lucky to have the world class Neil Everett calling those highlight packages that the possibly world class @THE HCP puts together. Neil is a lot of fun to have in the studio.

    As far as the game goes, everyone besides Ant seemed like they were playing the second night of a back to back that went into OT the night before. I get that we were short handed but those guys that rarely played didn't look outclassed the looked gassed.

    40 and 10 from Ant!

    Just small injuries. Scoot got a thigh bruise and Jerami had a sore back.

    if you want to guess at the biggest predictor of future wins/losses it's the net rating. Blazers have the 4th-5th worst net rating. That's how the Pythagorean
    wins are calculated

    according to that, Portland should have 11 wins but they have overachieved at 13. Meanwhile both the Nets and Raptors have underachieved by 3 wins. That's why the lottery race is kind of close
