Feels like a blowout loss but who knows what you'll get from this team any given night

Looks like Scoot reaggravated his ankle...so much for the taking time with players to tank theory.

Here's the part where Chauncey starts calling 1:5 and the Blazers lose because they can't play team basketball with Ant and Jerami on the court with the ball in their hands.

Love the developing connection between Scoot and Ayton. Scoot in particular showing signs of understanding how to get players involved vs. defenses. Good sign...

Officiating has been pretty lopsided tonight. Refs will try and make it up to save face in the final 4 minutes when the game is out of hand.

I like Banton...he's not quite the defender that Matisse is, but he has a way better handle and willingness to pass. And as a 6'8" guard, he makes Matisse expendable. He can get by defenders off the dribble AND has a willingness to pass, which is a rarity on this roster. Too much 1:5...no surprise given Scott Brooks is on the coaching staff.

Gotta like what Ayton is bringing, even if he still gets lost defensively. He absolutely needs somebody to force feed him in the right spots...Scoot is starting to understand how to do that. Scoot/Ayton developing connection is the only thing worth watching really for the rest of the season.

I liked this game. We were competitive for three quarters. A good loss!

Edwards is a beast, man. Minnesota is going to be fun to root for in the playoffs.
