    Ayton is one of the most useless 7 footers i have ever seen.

    Sharpe 4-7 shooting for 15 points.

    He shouldn’t should have 3 times as many attempts.

    Also, I’m sorry but Simons might be my least favorite Blazer ever. He brings absolutely nothing to the court if his shot doesn’t fall. Nothing.

    His own fault for having 7 shots. I’ve never seen a player you had to beg to be more selfish.

    He let Harden hold him for several seconds while Banton was dribbling around looking for someone to pass to. Made no effort to break free or even put his hands up like he might be ready for a pass.

    Don't worry, you only have two years of it left.

    I miss the 3 game stretch without Ant and Ayton but with the two centers. This team is not fun to watch.

    So if we go on a 70-0 run in the last 4 minutes we still won't make the cup.

    Never would have fathomed I'd prefer Meyers Leonard defense to a healthy Blazers starting center on a max contract.

    As bad as Simons defense is somehow Ayton might be worse.

    We were always very unlikely to win yes.

    The Rockets game was our one chance, I mean we beat them the next night so it wasn't impossible. Unpredictable things can happen when a team only needs to win 3 games in November.

    Once we lost to them the cup chances were yes over.

    CJ & Meyers were probably my two least favorite Blazers of the Dame era. Simons and Ayton are my two least favorite Blazers of the post Dame era
