Maybe so but I thought we got the benefit a few times in the first half


Yeah, I saw 2-3 calls that were iffy in that first half. But I can't recall, did the Blazers even have a FTA in the second half? But with how physical Detroit was playing it should have been at least twice the amount of whistles in Portland's favor. 5 FTA to 22 FTA is pretty suspect.

Booo for simons, good for Scoot zero points and 3 assists that's what we're looking for right? This is a good loss? Walton help me out? This is what we want right?

Scoot may need to go because of his deficiencies.

Simons definitely needs to go.

Simons could thrive on a team with strong d and good coaching to maximize his strengths and minimize his weaknesses.

That is not here.

He wants to win so badly he is yearly among the absolute worst defensive players in the league.

Sounds like a lack of effort, brains and/competitiveness.

Those are winner traits.

He’s among the worst in the league every year on d.

He has low bbiq on that end, and nothing special on the other end.
