Should be a very interesting game given all the drama surrounding our team and having a new coach after only a game. Golden State, with all their old geezers are going to be gassed coming off an overtime back-to-back and on the road. Keeping the pace up is going to be imperative to win.

I’m curious to see how they perform tonight, and rooting for Splitter

I wonder if Dundon is here tonight?

Nice high post pass by DC to Avdija for the easy score, and then he runs the floor and gets an easy feed for a score

That was a perfect example of POR significant offensive deficiencies : 4 offensive rebounds f
5 missed shots, yikes

Nice fake by Avdija for an easy lay in

Curry putting on a show right now

Sharpe is really struggling right now 0-5, then drives to the room and gets an and 1

Wild drive by Wesley for a miss, then TJD misses an easy layup as Grant plays Ole defense

Sharpe has Podz on him and settles for a 3pt shot, miss, next possession, fast break takes it to the rim, draws a foul. He has got to stop settling if he’s going to get better.

Only Deni and Tiago spoke pregame and you can just feel it viscerally on a human level that these guys are shook. Understandably so. It’s why I give Cronin a pass a bit here, Billups was beloved be everyone he met and worked with, but clearly in his off time outside of work he liked to get a little crazy for lack of a better term. So I can’t just blindly go “Cronin should have known!!” and be ready to call for him to be fired over this.

Also, all players get a pass for this game. Just get through it and the next week and let the dust settle.

Jerami Grant wants his starting spot back, and he's on course to get it, with Sharpe's ass going back to the bench.

Grant has looked amazing off the bench. Credit where credit is due.

Podz sucks, I don't get why he's starting for the Warriors. He's really unimpressive for the "lightyears ahead" organization.

I get it, but also... this is working... soooo?

Again, I'm giving Sharpe a pass here for the next few games given the circumstances.

Good pass by Thybulle , but Camara couldn’t finish

Wesley should not shoot the ball unless he has absolutely no choice

Tie game, and now Curry is back in the game

Prayer answered for Murray

Nice saved by DC and Avdija hits a 3 because of it

Curry… Oh my, yeah, it’s OK to flex

Not a fan of Kuminga but that was an impressive dunk over DC for the and 1

Avdija having a hot quarter

I don’t understand the appeal to Podz? He does not seem to be a very impressive player to me.

Avdija with 20pts at half, 4-6 3pt

POR 52% from 3pt, that won’t last

Need someone else to step up besides Deni & Grant

We started the game 2-10 from the 3, finished the half at 11-21. Holy smokes!

As cool as this is and I'm really hopeful for this team, the league is cooked as long as Wemby is playing.

Would love a larger lead, but can't really complain under the circumstances.

Corrupt referee. Over-turning the foul on Grant then upholding that?
