    The offense is a mess, Chauncey is good at motivating, he seems like him and his staff are good at developing players but we need a real offensive genius to get the most out of our guys. I mean we don't need anything this season because we're going to suck but in the off season maybe Joe and Chauncey can find their version of Tex Winter.

    The defense is drastically better than last year. We rotate and force guys inside to the bigs. We also got wings who can supply interior help and still recover. Really like what I’m seeing, haven’t seen Blazer defense in a long time

    Sharpe is the coolest kid in school, but he bullies kids named Kennard

    Billups has to scheme more ways to involve Sharpe in plays. Sharpe isn't 20 year old Batum, and he and shouldn't be stuck in the corner as much as he is

    Jaren Jackson is a pretty good player...and Marcus Smart should change his name to Marcus Brainfart

    One thing I noticed tonight, is several times the Blazers guards drive baseline and jump with no where to go. Led to multiple turnovers. Not sure what they are thinking sometimes.

    I'm kind of liking this in-season tournament so far. Like seeing teams play this hard in early November.

    You had Marcus "Dumb" sitting there as a layup, and you went for "Brainfart?"

    We shot 36 free throws tonight. Memphis shot 13. That is a crazy disparity.

    It's a regular season game. Tournament is meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Good REGULAR SEASON win.

    our primary offensive attack is to iso with a long, rangy wing hoping to create contact.

    I will applaud Grant for his board effort tonight. I'm mostly just having dreams of Sharpe and Scoot being the best back court in the league within 2-3 years. Ahhh yes Scoot lobs to Sharpe on the break I can see it now...

    As expected. Heat, Suns, Bucks? Those are trash teams.
