It should be interesting to see if Ant’s gets hot again. He’s really came back to earth the last few weeks it seems like. He should be putting up all star numbers with this roster and if he doesn’t the plan to move norm to pay Ant is gonna look really bad.

This is kind of expected tho. Scouting has caught up on Ant. How he battles through this period will tell a lot. He should learn and get better as the rest of the season goes… hopefully.

If nothing else, should bring his price down. I still wish Portland would make Simons available for trade, but don’t see that happening.

What a beautiful loss. We tried to make it a game at the end but Orlando pulled away. This was a win on the schedule just a few days ago, and now it's a boon of a loss. And tomorrow we play the Lakers who are probably angry they got blown out tonight. Fantastic!

I like the looks of Orlando combo forward Franz Wagner who played his college ball at Michigan. Hopefully
we can draft some of these guys in the upcoming draft.

Some would call it Justise. The Blazers wins low.

If the Lakers are angry it's the first time this year their carefactor will have moved. LeBrenda and the Unibrow should beat us anyway.

You know times are tough when Blazer fans are looking at Orlando players and being impressed.

I noticed him at Michigan. He's a big (6-10) combo forward who can handle the ball and shoot from 3. He reminds
me some of Toni Kukoc who played in the 90's on those championship Bulls teams.

We need to begin the process of drafting these guys to build the next core group in Portland. We've got Simons, Little,
those two lottery picks and need to take a look at young players like Brown and all those guys we got from the two
trades and whoever we sign in the upcoming FA market. We'd be fooling ourselves if we think Dame fits in this new
core group for by the time those guys are ready, Dame won't be Dame.

I think the team needs to find a Dame trade that does for Portland what the AD trade did for the Pelicans. It's going
to take some time but how it would help if Portland could draft the 7-2 French big in the 2023 draft

Did Blazers finally score a loss against the worst team in the NBA by a double digit margin? Wow, what a day.

Very inspiring news for our chances to land a high draft pick.

Any chance I can score an opinion or two on the Magic coaching?

Mosley spent a few years here in the Aussie NBL. Played, and starred, for my team. I had courtside seats those years and got to know J Mo off the court very well. Am not surprised he built himself up to a top job but with such a poor team hope he's not going to be on their merry-go-round.
