    Yeah, I don't understand. He had his mid-range floater down to a science last season. We saw one skip floater in this game, but mostly it's drives into the defense.

    With what we've seen from Camara, Scoot, Rupert I don't know how you can seriously try to argue that. Our young guys are playing phenomenal. It's this "big 3" of Grant Ant Ayton that are paid 90 million which is beyond horrific.

    Hopefully Ant just got an elbow stinger or bruised bone. Hope he gets well soon.

    They were such a big part of the 20+ point deficit they should be out there taking more heat.

    Honestly, don't quite get why Delano doesn't play more.

    Rupert needs to be a starter locking on the opponents guards.

    Get Banton some run in case Ant needs to sit out a game.

    Rupes is automatic from those corners.

    He's third string behind Ant and Scoot. Would you rather Scoot play less?

    The Blazers need to swarm those defensive rebounds.

    It's a different game when a team is taking a ton of 3-point shots. A different kind of rebounding situation.

    OKC 3rd stringers play harder in garbage time than most teams starters
