23s and already (2) fouls by POR

Airball 3 by Ayton, ugly

2nd midrange J by Sharpe, like it, he passed up on a 3 earlier as well, which was good

Transition D by POR, has been bad all year

Why didn’t they let Scoot play in summer league again? Seriously, dude needs to work on his shot

Ayton shooting 3’s is not what this team needs, at least he seems to be hustling tonight

RW3\DC out on the floor together, not a fan of this lineup, but this is what you expect from a team with piss poor roster management

Scoot with a 3, he’s gotta be able to hit those if the defender is going to go under the screen

Nice roll by DC there, Simons with the pass

Nice pass by Wemby there

Nice drive by Sharpe, little revenge for Wemby blocking a shot on the last possession

I think if I am POR, I can live with Wemby shooting 3’s

Wemby flush, foul by DC that is his 3rd, and then Billups leaves him in and takes out RW3 instead? Now he takes DC out

Wemby, nice block on Grant 3pt attempt

Ooh, nice take there by Grant

Is Paul mocking Scoot there?

Another good drive by Sharpe for the and 1

Tough shot by Castle there

Nasty dunk by Sharpe

Just leave Wemby open for an uncontested 3?

Well, he was guarded on that one and it didn’t make a difference

Nice take there by Sharpe, took some contact in the air and finished

Bad foul by Ayton on that Wemby 3

lol, Sharpe thought that was a defensive rebound off that FT attempt

Ayton just offers no rim protection

POR down by 17, while Simons/Grant/Ayton all playing big minutes, but sure it’s the young guys to blame for why this team sucks

Nice 3 by Scoot

So, back ups are in for POR, with Ayton? Both DC/RW3 still on the bench?

Bad air ball by Grant there

Good drive & dish to DC there by Scoot, DC got blocked, but the move was good

Transition defense (lack of) strikes again

DC picks up 4th on Wemby 3pt attempt

Good Scoot midrange j, need to see more of those

DC for 3, I don’t think he should be hunting those, but if they leave him that wide open?

Deni struggling tonight, 1-9, 0-5 3pt

The whole team, outside of Sharpe is struggling tonight

5th on DC

Ooh, Wemby just erased Deni there

By all means, let’s leave the vets in, only down by 24

Good passing there, Sharpe ends up with the 3

Deni finally hits a 3, tough night for him

Yes, good idea. Time to take RW3 out in a game that is over, no reason to risk injury.

Bad transition, defense again, again, and again

Grant 5pts, 2-12, yeah sure Cronin he’s worth (2) 1st’s, what a joke

Simons 18 on 7-22, the definition of empty points

Good pass by Deni to Ayton

Now DA padding his stats and garbage time, too little too late

Fast break score by SA, and Deni, of course is the only one back trying to defend, certainly can understand why he is frustrated

Another mid range J by Sharpe

Only down by 26 now

Gotta make your FT Scoot

I'm generally declining to watch the Blazers anymore as long as they have Simons-Ayton-Grant playing big minutes while allowing them to dominate usage and shots

I tuned in briefly last night....the Blazers were down 17 mid-way thru the 3rd Q. Looked at the box score and saw Simons-Ayton-Grant had taken 35 of Portland's 67 shoots. "I'm out!"

those three combined for 37 points on 45 shots. When will the nightmare end?

I've only watched periodically this season, especially with all those great college football
games.

The NBA game is unwatchable with the better teams routinely shooting 45-50 3 point shots
in a game.

I'm basically tuning to closely watch DC, Deni and Sharpe...but especially Clingan. If he's only playing 12 minutes, then I have about 12 minutes of attention span watching games.
