    Not convinced that was a flagrant.

    Scoot was battling Myles Turner like crazy (no entry pass possible) and he gets smacked in the face with no calls.

    Siakam jumps into Scoot and it's a foul on Scoot. Of course!

    Hamberblab migrated to the radio last game, then the Blazers won. Now Jody Allen thinks he's a lucky charm unfortunately.

    Looks like Scoot grabbed Turners arm and pulled it, resulting in an elbow to his own face.

    Refs are letting Scoot get hit in the face repeatedly.

    Jabari actually tripped the defender on the cut through, but we'll still call it the Fred Meyer's golden shopping cart play of the night.

    Good catch... let's pretend it was the juke move that caused it!

    Indy is pretty good but lack rim protection. Turner is not the guy. When POR is bullying a team you know they are weak.

    Turner kinda has some Whiteside in him on the defensive end. Goes for a lot of blocks, gets some, but also gives up a lot of offensive rebounds and dump off passes because of it.

    If Siakam can net 3 1sts, Jerami Grant should net at least 2 1sts. Grant is a more versatile scorer than Siakam.

    Blazers shooting 62%, that's not too shabby

    We only spent 1 1st to get him. Will teams interested in him forget that?

    Not all 1st round picks are created equally. Two late 1st round picks in 2024 feels similar to one future 1st in an unknown draft.

    Pascal is a stat padder from a crummy team. (just ignore the giant gold ring)

    Doesnt' matter what you previously paid for a player.

    When you sell your house, nobody cares what you paid for it previously.
