I’ve been calling for Sharpe to be featured like this for awhile now

 

[Whyachi]

Chauncey didn't call timeout in ugly 1st quarter. Saving them for ugly 2nd quarter?

 

[BlazerBeav]

Well at least I don't have to spend much more of the evening watching this.

I don’t need Simons or Brogdon on this team. Scoot and Sharpe need all the minutes imo. Mays and Rupert can back em up.

 

[B-Roy]

They’re hitting contested 3s and we’re missing wide open ones.

But regardless I wish they would just run pick and roll with Ant until Dallas does something to stop it. Instead our guards keep pushing early against 3-4 defenders with no advantage.

Glad it's an early game. Get to move on with my night.

Exactly, Kinger!

Two of Irvings threes were actually twos

You never had to. It’s not about wins and losses anyway. But this game ain’t over.

 

[B-Roy]

Scoots been beat on 2-3 back doors

 

[KingSpeed]

Dame has made 7 of his last 31 shots.

Blazers like bigger salaries during this rebuild. Jody gets a massive kickback while Cronin flirts with luxury tax.

 

[KingSpeed]

Sharpe can do anything. And it looks so easy.

 

[Strenuus]

So excited for this rebuild. It's gonna be a lot of fun!

 

[Whyachi]

the Mavs complaining to refs after flopping. What a bunch of jerks. 80 million FT's aren't enough.

 

[OneSport3]

Scoot and Shaedon are getting cooked on simple back doors.

 

[KingSpeed]

Scoot and Shaedon are getting cooked on simple back doors.

They’ll learn.

 

[Whyachi]

Scoot airballs a 26 footer real bad, Mavs take a 20 point lead.

 

[Chris Craig]

So excited for this rebuild. It's gonna be a lot of fun!

We have different ideas of fun

 

[KingSpeed]

This is not Scoot’s best shift.

 

[Whyachi]

Can Portland just forfeit the next 5 games of this road trip?

 

[OneSport3]

These refs are terrible. Can’t stop blowing their whistles.

 

[maxiep]

Must. Keep. Focus. On. Player. Development.

 

[KingSpeed]

Ball always gets stolen from Badji.

 

[maxiep]

Matisse is so p***Ed right now we matched.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wish we could’ve gotten OG for Simons

 

[maxiep]

Not that he's coming back this season, but this is a game where we miss Time Lord.

 

[KingSpeed]

Reath is the only + on our team. Simons is -23, the worst on the team

 

[Chris Craig]

Not that he's coming back this season, but this is a game where we miss Time Lord.

Probably won't play for us again

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Horrendous half for Ant and Scoot.

At least we saw Shae make an effort to get to the rim and make some good plays.
