Fair enough. Dump on the 19 year old in a game the entire team is getting blown out in.

no..just supporting my observation that the kid doesn't need more burn ...we know who he is.

Sharpe looked like he was getting the hang of defense for a while there, but he's been egregious of late:

I think Reddish has cut into his PT too.

Yes...he is a kid who was out of basket ball for over a year and needs a ton of run to get experience so he can grow his game. Blowout games like this are perfect for him. Tilt at a different windmill.

he's in the game and he's played all season....I don't know what tilt at another windmill means but I made a simple point. He should play garbage time.

And that was my point, this whole game has been garbage time.

Who ever grew their game and became a star in this league by playing in blowout games? What we need is for Sharpe to learn how to impact winning in this league. Blowout garbage time accomplishes none of that. He just gets to play low pressure defense and offense against some of the worst players in the league.

Unfortunately I have to watch Arsenal matches on delay, but I just make sure not to check my phone when I wake up, and watch it while eating breakfast. I used to stay up and watch them in the middle of the night, but I’m not young enough for that anymore.

He needs to play....period. Because of his missed time, he needs trial by fire on the court as much as possible. Since the team hasn't won jack in the last 2 seasons, it seems any game would be fair game this year. Nothing done by any player in a Blazer uniform has really impacted winning this year, so why should the bar for Sharpe be any different?

Damian Lillard has impacted winning this year but he can't do it all.
 
Man, those game winners vs PHX and MIA early in the season feels like it was many seasons ago…
 
Knox has played his best Blazer ball in garbage time tonight

We are #13 in the Western Conference. What 'winning' is being referred to? I guess we will just agree to disagree.

winning a game is winning a game....Dame has impacted wins we have....you said nobody had...which is wrong..he's had some incredible performances this season.

I look at 'winning' in a little bigger picture. We are #13. There are 2 teams in the West that have won less than we have. Sure, a singular game here and there, but over all, is this a winning season? A winning franchise?

what are you talking about. How is it we "know" who Sharpe is and don't know who Reddish is? This is Cam's 4th season

This is Cam's first time in his career to have 8 straight games in double digit scoring....I don't give a shit what he did as a towel waiver on teams I don't follow...he's a keeper. We're trying to see what he does as a Blazer...not a Knick or Hawk. One of the few positives to cheer for ....I'm gonna cheer for him
