    Paul Allen never sold 3 second round picks - he'd go out and buy them.

    Is it possible this team has quit on the coach already. Ant looks totally disinterested and only concerned about hoisting up his three point shots

    Saying this for years
    This is why I said not to get your hackles up when we win. The Griz are missing some key players and we got run off the floor from the tip.

    We're going to be in the top four at the lottery even if we steal a win here or there. And the law of averages say we will.

    But the Blazers don't have enough consistent shooting to stay with anyone halfway decent and we don't defend the 3-point arc. If we aren't giving up 3s, we close out to recklessly and get pumped faked into the fifth row while they're driving to the hoop.

    Like the effort from Ayton tonight, though. I know he gets a lot of criticism, but if he just put that kind of effort on the floor at practice and every game, I'd be happy.

    How are we getting our asses handed to us by a quarter of a team?

    Honestly mystified that we've won three games.

    Well, the CBA did change you know. That's not allowed anymore.

    Also, remind me...who was the owner when they traded 2 1st round picks for Zach Collins?

    Or drafted Caleb Swanigan? Or signed Evan Turner to a gawdawful contract? or Allen Crabbe?

    I certainly liked the effort in the last few minutes. When he outbattled Edey for that rebound, that was kind of cool.

    I'm not even joking when I say we played MUCH better (and harder) in preseason.

    Could be worse I guess two super stars and the Bucks are 2-8. There is a melt down coming soon In Wisconsin

    Our schedule is pretty brutal the next 10 games. Starts with Minnesota twice which my only question is how much we will lose by. Only decent team is Atlanta. So that gets us to a 4-17 record.

    Might help our draft position.

    Might mean we're stuck with this big3 of Grant Ayton Simons all year though, doubt other teams want to cough up value for them.

    He just came back though. Simons on the other hand is straight up trash now.

    Are we sure the grizzles are missing their best players?

    The people who actually go to these games are the real MVP.

    Simons should be riding the pine and traded. Playing him is making it harder to trade him.
