Anyone know anything about why Youtube TV had KUNP for a week and now it's not on there anymore? :(

I heard on Mike Richmond's podcast that the team is calling it a "process"...but that they are trying to get full coverage sooner than later.

Deni take the night off, please, or not

It would be nice if POR could take an unexpected loss, to offset the unexpected win, but that does not look like it is going to be the case

There is no way that NO should be this bad, given their level of talent, even with guys sitting out with injury/rest

Scoot needs to do more of those mid range floaters

Nice fake by Scoot there

Sharpe is “on” tonight, 13pt 1Q

Very nice play by Scoot, which is then offset by another mind boggingly bad decision, 1 good, 2 bad

RW3 showing that stellar defense with a nice block

POR with 40 in Q1

RW3 still in the game, please stay healthy

2nd block by RW3 against Hawkins, yeah, I would say his defense translates to any team, and is VERY useful, then he breaks up a drive by Alvarado, lead leading to a TO

RW3 just toying with NO defenders right now, and then a dunk

Watch as NO gets a top 3 pick, and POR ends up at #8/#9

RW3 blocks Boston jumpshot lol

So, NO is really bad, that is a given, however, it is interesting to note that POR is up by 24 without Grant, Ant or Ayton playing a significant role in this game whatsoever

So, the whole theory that they need, these vets, otherwise they cannot win, is ridiculous, because this is not the first game that this has happened

Ant with a steal, improving his defensive efficiency by a minuscule amount

NO looks completely inept, but you watch, they will get a pretty high draft pick next year, and all of the sudden they’ll be really good & POR will likely be in the same position they are now

Thinking the Pelicans may get Flagg sucks.

The Blazers have been trash at this rebuild.

Not sure what else there is to say since this is a complete blowout POR up at 30

I guess I’d say I’m glad that RW3 is out of the game, and in no way should he come back in the game

And of course, Billups brings him back in, what an idiot

On some level, you’d love to see RW3 get injured, to clearly show how stupid POR leadership is, OTOH you want him to stay healthy on the small chance that Cronin may actually trade him for something of value.

I swear the people in charge of running this team are some of the most incompetent people in the NBA.

I wish the Blazers were Pelicans level bad.

Also, I know I’m championing moving Simons for Scoot to play and get reps, but my goodness does Scoot stink on ice. I still question if his self confidence isn’t just 1000% shot.

Liked the focused urgency in Sharpe and Scoot in the first half...

Anybody know why Clingan isn't playing? I get that they are alternating, but why not just sit RWIII at the end of a blowout.

It's very weird to watch a Blazer game where the good guys actually can field a more talented team than the bad guys...

I don’t know why the starters are still in this game?

7min left RW3 out, about damn time

Avdija\Sharpe lead the way, again, this team sure needs the “big” 3 don’t they?

Maybe we should have a new name for Deni\Sharpe\Camara?

The “real big 3”

Up by 28, and Billups has yet to empty the bench? Like, NO I already waived the white flag and put in their bench players.

Deni 26, Sharpe 21 lead the way, seems to be a common theme lately

With regard to RWIII playing might there be a team interested in him but wanting to see him in a game first?

Honestly, I don't think it works that way. NBA GMs have channels into the reality of every team and player, short of current physicals. I think they're just alternating backups between Clingan and RW. He ended up at only 16 minutes...I would have guessed higher. Felt more like 20ish minutes.

Advija is hands down our best all around player. Looking forward to him in a blazer uni for years to come versatile players like him are hard to come by

I honestly see a little of what Cooper Flagg will likely become in the NBA. Flagg being the more athletic player, and Avdija playing a very specific, more assertive style of basketball.
