    Brandon Clarke is better than anyone on the Blazers' bench. Tyus Jones and De'Anthony Melton are far better than Simons and Trent.

    Most of the "bench" we saw in the scrimmages won't be playing

    Just noticed Tolliver is playing with the Grizz now....he's going for the record as far as teams played for over a career

    I think it might because we haven't seen our bench rotation with a full playbook yet....and in my view....Mario is way better than he was earlier...and now Ant has found his shot for the first time in ages.....you may be right but I don't think either team knows this as a certainty at this point....Hassan didn't come off the bench with the second unit either...we essentially have a bigger bench than we did all season

    Simons maybe Trent hell no. Plus, Jones is out.

    I don't think Jones or Melton are better than Trent. Clarke is really good and I know this is comparing apples to oranges but he is not markedly better than Hassan, he just isn't. Their rotation in my opinion will not be better than ours. Also I think Nas will get some PT and I think he is going to look really good. I also don't think Ant will play.

    If we lose to Memphis, we should tank the rest. #1 pick, baby!

    Olshey will find the best guard out there!

    This game is pretty much it for us. If we lose, might as well sit Dame for the rest of the games.

    So the Jazz win last night and a Blazer win today would be very good!

    You probably know this, but the draft order is already set, based on the previous "season".
