Oh Carl, you hopeless romantic. Nothing says I love you quite like a karate chop to the throat!

Avdija, DC, Grant all out, surprised Ayton isn’t on the list, he was out all last night

Seriously? When is the transition defense going to be addressed? This is absolutely ridiculous.

Two nice drives by Sharpe so far to start the game

Slick drive by Scoot there

Camara just erased Powell, great block

Scoot with a great fast break pass to Sharpe for a score, Harden had no clue

Why couldn’t Powell ever shoot like that when he was with POR?

Ok, Scoot, hits a 3

lol, I forgot Powell was played SF while he was in POR, yikes

DA with 8pts so far on 7 shots, looks like there’s a concerted effort to involve him in the offense more to keep him engaged

RW3 sighting

Harden is the beneficiary of so many bogus calls

Banton going 1v1 to end 1Q, ends with a predictable result, airball. I guess the positive is that it wasn’t Simons? At least they tried somebody different.

[PDXKnight]

Pretty lousy home stand so far

[Walton1one]

Right now on the floor are 5 players who probably will not be on this team in 2 years

RW3 hits the floor for the third time? Stay healthy man.

Hurd pointing out how bad POR guard’s defense is, particularly Banton/Simons, although you could include Sharpe\Scoot as well

Simons with another slow start, 0-6

LAC up by 19, make that 21, thanks to bad transition defense

Liking Scoot’s shooting these last 2 games, let’s hope it continues

Scoot fouled on a drive, is he the only POR player who showed up tonight?

Nice steal by Scoot on Powell, led to Sharpe 3, then he steals another one from Dunn

lol, review to see if Scoot flagrantly whacked Jones‘ nads

Are these refs trying to get an Oscar with their review decision deliveries?

Powell just acted like he was dying, and then he comes right back on the floor, of course he does

Another 3 by Scoot

POR 25% from 3pt & Scoot is 2-3

POR shooting this first half has been awful, 33%, Scoot 5-8, Ayton 5-10, Sharpe 4-7 not to blame

Clips are doing a good job of shutting down the mid paint, which is where a lot of the Blazers offense ends up operating out of with about 4 or 5 seconds on the shotclock. That and the memo has long been out to run on the Blazers...because their transition defense is non-existant.

RWIII, Sharpe and Camara are the only Blazer players tonight that aren't ball-watching when a shot goes up on either end.

Encouraged by Scoot's willingness to shoot from the outside. If he can string some good shooting games together, that would likely be a young player's nice reward for the work he's been putting in on his shooting (allegedly).

Gotta appreciate Sharpe's aggressiveness in games of late...much less disappearing act. Hopefully he can replicate this first half in the second half.

[PDXKnight]

Banton almost putting up 1 shot a minute, 13 shots in just 16 mins.. Not a stat you want to see for a guy who doesn't factor into our long term plans

[Walton1one]

Zubac has a nice game for a lumbering, big man

Come on Sharpe, drive to the rim stop settling for 3pt shots

LAC up by 25, this game is on the verge of getting out of hand (already is?)

I think Dunn was on a 2-way with POR a few years ago

Banton has been awful tonight, and this is not picking on him

Seriously, I would rather have Zubac than Ayton

Wide open dunk by LAC, what were you doing, Banton? He just like watched it, then goes ISO on the other end and bricks it, then bricks a 3, is now 1-8. Can we give Rupert a chance, maybe?

POR has 45pts with 5:30 left in 3Q, pathetic, down by 31

There you go, Banton, makes a pass to RW3 who gets fouled and now POR has FT attempts, keep saying this he needs to do more often and stop being a chucker with blinders on

Nice lob pass by Scoot to RW3

Alright, Scoot, the one guy who got back on defense, he committed a foul, but props for the hustle, like to see more of his teammates do that

Nice little step back by Scoot there, how in the heck did he get back on defense after that? He committed a foul but damn!

Banton having a little run here, of course POR is down by over 20, and he’s part of the reason why, the definition of
empty points

Boy...Simons is COMPLETELY checkout out of this team.

Starting to feel like Chauncey is actually losing the team in these big losses.

[DusterBuster]

Is Simons pulling a Jimmy? How is bro pulling a O-fer game right now?

Happy the Blazers are losing, but holy hell Ant is the most bipolar player ever. Please no more. Get him somewhere he's happy playing, cause he's clearly giving up here.

This whole teams vets needs to be blown the **** up.

Maybe I can hope this is just the team finally giving up on Chauncey to get him fired.

[zzaj]

I'm glad Chauncey is leaving Scoot in with 5 fouls...gotta learn how to play through that.

Blazers definitely look down at the mouth in this one...

Is this one of Simons worst games? Usually he has a hot quarter, tonight he has just been awful across the board, 0-9

9min left & our idiot coach has Simons & Ayton still in, bring the bench in & let the young guys play this game has been over for a while.

Banton yelling “and 1”every shot is funny

lol, Hurd asking why Banton isn’t on the Canadian national team, that is so ridiculously dumb, it’s funny.

Scoot air mails a 3, ugly

So I think Simons is done for the night, when is the last time he put up a zero burger?

Yes!!! Banton for MVP, give him a $20mil\yr contract, Cronin!

Then he just set up Ayton for a sweet dunk with 7min left, Ayton still needs to pad his stats apparently, those two are meant for each other

POR only down by 29, I smell a comeback

Come on Blazers keep it under 30

Rupert with a sighting and a score!

Yeah, it’s that bad, we have a Justin Minaya sighting

Wow, Steve Balmer sighting

Blazers lose by 29, thanks to last second 3 by Rupert

I wonder, do the Blazer players sleep well tonight?

[JRoy]

Pretty lousy home stand so far

Every L matters.

[JRoy]

Simons 0-9.

Get this bum off my team.

[PDXKnight]

Every L matters.

Indeed. Just wish the losses were a bit more competitive
