    I got false hope when they didn't start Scoot that they'd relgate him to backup PG minutes, but looks like they plan to play him 30 minutes per game.

    Cooper Flagg here we come.

    Good: Scoot getting to the rim

    Bad: He still can't finish

    Camara has improved a lot on his 3-point shooting. I wish they'd look to get him some open ones. He's 1-1 in this game.

    Golden State is shooting threes and taking it to the hoop.

    I don't know what the Blazers plan is.

    Looks like Stotts will happy as assistant for Kerr. He helped the Mavs get one as their offensive guru.

    He needs to get better at his shot selection. He's playing like he's an offensive star.

    Is this Billups Ball? The offense looks like crap. Everyone dribbling shooting contested 2-pointers.

    Golden State passing it around for open 3-pointers or going to the hoop.

    Finally, Camara gets his 2nd shot of the game. 2-2 on threes. Scoot has taken 9 shots.

    These refs have been pretty God awful. I felt like we didn’t get it bad last year, thus hasn’t been the case

    Why can't Ayton pass a basketball?

    to be fair, as better options emerge I don’t think it’s a him problem lol.

    For those who were worried about the tank not being in full effect...

    Saying this for years
    These are the Blazers I've gotten used to. Don't do the little things well. Let what should be short runs for the other team become longer runs because they get discouraged so quickly. Can't defend screens. Can't defend 3s. Make silly fundamental mistakes.

    Other than that, we're pretty good.

    How did Jabari Walker get zero minutes while Grant is out there hucking up shots going 4-12, 0 for 4 on threes?

    Grant and Scoot took the most and 2nd most shots going 7 for 21.

    If that what this season is all about, Yikes.

    Not just him

    Avdija, Scoot, Grant

    So many passes without thought getting knocked loose by the Warriors.

    Yeah, but Curry is 1-7! Scoot has 3 times as many makes as Curry does. Curry is a bum!

    Curry only 8 points, 0-4 from three. I'll take that.
