What has Grant done to earn getting back in the starting lineup? I'm about done with the big 3 turds simons/ayton/grant

Nice bucket by RW3 to start the game off

Sengun is just eating POR alive right now, scoring/rebounding at will

Blazer broadcasting, “teams are hunting, Simons on defense ”, of course they are

Good block by Grant, then Scoot hits a 3

Brooks ended up scoring, but that was good physical defense by Scoot on him

Camara aggressive on offense tonight, vicious follow up slam

HOU shooting has gone cold, Murray hits 3 game tied

Walker picks up his 3rd foul already

No Lamar, Walker and Eason do not play alike

Nice aggressive drive for a score by Murray

Sharpe is really struggling tonight, being challenged at the rim, loose dribble, just a rough night overall so far

Early Rupert sighting

Tired of seeing Simons just get manhandled on defense

POR starting backcourt so far, 0pts, 0–5

Sharpe gets a switch and has Adams on him and he shoots a 3? He missed, predictably.

RW3 with another nice block

Simons back to back 3’s, POR leads

Sharpe finally scores, and 1

Nice mid range J by Scoot

Jalen Green, his shooting, and overall movement has been pretty impressive

That was a good drive by Scoot & he drew a foul on Sengun

Scoot is such a chaotic turnover machine, he does things but doesn't think... he just reacts

Camara flops, doesn’t get the call

Grant air mails a 3

Wild shot & miss by Simons

Back to back 3’s by HOU, up by 7, make that 9

Is think that is the 3rd or 4th missed layup by Murray tonight?

It’s the Jabari Walker show, POR down by 10

Scoot with the and 1

POR is just getting killed on the boards 45–28, HOU 17 offensive rebounds

Reath, woof. Maybe better off not to play him, so some team may still think it’s worth trading a 2nd for him?

Sharpe’s handle is concerning

So far it shows that Sharpe only has 4TO’s tonight, but he has lost the ball at least 2x as many as that, really, not a good game for him tonight

If I still played fantasy basketball there's no way I'd ever draft a blazer given the all around unpredictability in pt

RW3 with 3rd block of the night, then dunks the nice lob from Scoot on the other end

Grant, playing like he’s missed the last 7 games

Grant again showing some D with his 2nd block. If he could just get his offense on track again, he might attract some more interest

Back to back 3’s by HOU, trending towards another 20pt loss

Scoot with another 3, the only Blazer with a nice stat line tonight, 16-4-9 w/ 3 blocks and a steal, only 2TO, 4-9/2-4

Camara & Scoot leading the way again

Simons holding arm as he exits the game, good chance he sits a game or two, to help the tank?

Scoot back to back buckets, make that 21 points for the night, to go with 11 assists, pretty good night

Looks like HOU is trying to feed Sheppard

Yep it is another 20pt loss

Nice to see McGowan‘s get a little run

I don’t know how you watch this team and then think it’s OK to sit on your hands and do nothing

If Scoot can hang his hat on getting to the FT line, and making shots in the midrange AND only taking good shots from the 3pt line, he'll be an okay starter. Not surprising he was one of two players that had a positive plus minus tonight...it looked liked it.

This is a better Scoot than what we saw last year. Baby steps.

How positive was it? He was -11 on his 39 point game, kid is a mess

He was +3, same as Jabari. I don’t think you can watch him in the last few games and see the -58 player he was last year.
Is he still a mess? Yeah, in a lot of ways…but slightly less so than last year.

He’s 20 and hasn’t really played much in the way of organized basketball, and it shows.
