[illmatic99]

REALLY like the way he is playing so far this year; I see more maturity and focus - keep it up SS

Broy reincarnated.

 

[Natebishop3]

Can we hire Hakeem to work with Ayton?

 

[MickZagger]

Shaedon has it man.

Yep. Superstar potential. Just hope he has the superstar mindset

People thought he looked like he didn't give a shit in summer league and preseason, and clearly he only cares when the games matter.

 

[illmatic99]

Shaedon that needs to be a pull up

 

[illmatic99]

Garbage call

 

[beast blazer]

Chauncy is such a dumb ass.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

why did Billups not challenge the call -- NM -- I know he is a complete idiot

 

[julius]

Eventually this team has to learn how to end quarters.

 

[Cugel]

that was not a fucking offensive foul on Grant.

 

[illmatic99]

Think Sharpe is exhausted. So many minutes.

 

[beast blazer]

If Billups is too stupid to understand why that call should have been challenged, he shouldn't be a head coach in the nba.

 

[Natebishop3]

Camara has to hit those open looks.

 

[Natebishop3]

Shae's legs aren't under him right now.

 

[julius]

clearly not in this half.

 

[Natebishop3]

Yeah, he went up for that dunk and he barely got off the ground.

 

[MickZagger]

That lead got turned around quickly

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

that little series of passes that started with Brogdon and ended with him hitting a three was about as crisp as I have seen from Blazers in past 20 years.

...makes no damn sense, only 2mins to go until half wtf you saving a challenge for?!

 

[Cugel]

ouch. bad ending

 

[illmatic99]

Thybulle didn't even bother raising his hand to contest.

What happened to the dude who was blocking threes last season?

It's a shame that he and Grant have seemingly both stopped caring about winning plays after getting paid this summer.

 

[Chris Craig]

Well it was nice while it lasted

 

[EGame]

Refs are making this insufferable.

Yup. I want them gone. They clearly don't want to be here.

Brogdon looks like he fits here great... I'm not in any hurry to see him traded, even though if the price is right i understadn..

That comes from being on the same page. Which takes a coach having a plan.

 

[riverman]

Well it's not so bad...only 8 down at half. Sure not protecting the rim...why is Ayton not getting much burn again?

 

[James lamphear]

Looks like the starters just not doing the job. Scoot 0 assist so far this game and looks like Grant is not living up to his contract.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Refs are making this insufferable.

Foul count is 16-5

 

[Chris Craig]

17-8 FTA

15-6 PF

Come on refs
