I'm interested to see how Scoot and the ballhandlers for the Blazers handle Orlando's POA defense (which is very good). We've seen in the past that the Blazers have struggled against teams with good POA defense...

Can we leave Simons in Orlando? Just tell him to skip the flight to the next city and they’ll get a deal worked out in a day or two?

Refs letting both teams play so far...

It's such a facepalm that Chauncey is bringing Scoot and Sharpe off the bench right now.

Both Sharpe and Scoot don’t start tonight, this organization is incompetent, there is no way other way to put it, they have a horrible record, their vets have all played poorly this year, they’ve invested high lottery picks\valuable assets into Both of these guys and yet they bring them off the bench in a lost year.

I mean, if that doesn’t sum up how inept both Billups & Cronin are, especially Cronin, then what does? This is a dysfunctional franchise. Pelton was right, worst run organization in the NBA.

I would’ve sat Simons tonight rather than have him come out and look like crap

Avdija\Camara looking good as usual

Murray still throwing up 3pt bricks, all that other stuff he does, well nice, is meaningless, if he can’t hit an outside shot

That was some terrible basketball from both teams. As Wheels would say..."if this was a fish, we'd throw it back."

I almost wonder if Billups knowing that he is likely gone at the end of the season is now trying to sabotage the team.

Blazers obviously scouted Paolo's spin move. It's been countered 3 times. Jabari with the defensive game of his LIFE. lol

Thankfully RW3 doesn’t look like he got hurt on that play where Banchero stuffed him at the rim

Banchero good looking player, he’s only gonna get better too

Grant 2-7, just continues to tank his value, and make that contract he signed look worse

Simons with the 3 and 1

Scoot with 3 fouls, 0pts, way to kill a players’ positive momentum Billups

Good drive by Scoot over Banchero for a score and then he picks up his 4th foul

I will say, Grant is playing very good defense on Banchero

Simons just smoked KCP on that play, I thought the reason for ORL to get him was because he was such a good defender? And a 3pt shooter? Which he has been neither this year.

Yes, but apparently they can’t shoot/score to save their lives

Real big brain genius move by Chauncey bringing Scoot off the bench after his recent play...
