The vaccine stuff I don't blame him for at all. It was a crazy time full of mass hysteria his stance didn't make sense but neither did the vaccine mandate either especially what we know now and then about its ineffectiveness at preventing the spread of covid.

Wish him well but really wish he'd have put the work on hitting the corner 3. He'd be an easy starter making at least 10-15m if he did. Otherwise he is going to be a fringe guy in the nba

Hated to see him go for so little. I feel like with consistent minutes he could have shown improvement. I'll definitely watching him in Portland and I wish him the best

We got McDaniels and 2 second rounders for a soon-to-be free agent who is an offensive liability. What were you expecting?

Wasn't expecting much, just wish we gave him more of an opportunity

Same. He really just needed minutes. I feel like he would have developed better on a bad team due to just getting a lot of minutes. He should do well in Portland.

Great lad and a teammate. Wish him all the best!

I love my man man Matisse ... I just can't stand our coaching, management, and ownership.

I just don't understand benching our rising-star-PG and trading our best defender ... and we expect to make a run in the playoffs?

Yeah, no. Someone get me a copy of the Okafor Jersey Drop stat! Like Okafor, I'm so over this ****.

How about Mattise going out and dropping 4-6 from deep on the Lakers dome tonight. Love me some Blazers. Tiny sample size, but what if Mattisle come alive in the PDX?

We intentionally sent Thybulle for the Blazers to stop the Suns from making it to the finals

This is 4D chess move by his excellency, Daryl Morey.

Why do all young SG's start bombing threes once they leave Doc?

More playing time plus trading a player will often motivate them to work harder on their game especially in the areas where they are weakest. Ben Simmons being the obvious exception.

Lol

Don’t worry most nights it’ll be 1-5 with 3 dumb fouls on 3 point shooters with the shot clock at 1. Lmao

He totally screwed up his own mojo & left the team hanging. It was clearly the catalyst for him losing a place in the teams plans. Shouldn’t be a surprise to see it brought up.

I'm certain he's surprised because he's a vaccine realist.

Thybulle with 4 3s and 3 blks in 1st game away from Philly

Apparently Matisse took a not-so-subtle shot at Doc in his post game presser last night by hinting that Doc puts too much pressure on his young players to be perfect when they're on the court.

0-3 from 3 and 1-4 on FG's in his second game (2 points in 30 minutes). Those are Ben Simmons' numbers ;-)

Doc River’s fault. He didnt give him enough playing time to develop.

He would have been dropping 30pts right now, shutting top scorers and averaging 2 steals and 2 blocks per game.
