[riverman]

[Chris Craig]

First W

Feels good

 

[BigGameDamian]

So the tournament starts Friday?

 

[Strenuus]

This ballhog (Brogs ) along with others is the reason the Blazers might WIN the game so all of you saying this -- YOUR WRONG and I am done with you cause I might be a arrogant SOB at times but I am also RIGHT

I AM OUT !!

You're*

 

[riverman]

This was an important game for this squad

 

[Cugel]

We are back baby! 79-3

[Natebishop3]

I really don’t get the hype about OG.

 

[Whyachi]

dam Gary... Trent 1-7, only 3pts

 

[TYDame]

Now let’s win again next game

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Still only one vote for the Toronto game in the Who will Portland beat first? Guess who? As far as I remember the prize is all expenses trip to Fiji accompanied by Heidi Klum!

 

[blazerfan11]

Got to give Ayton credit for defending all over the floor, following guys in from the 3-point line. Just what the Blazers needed at that position.

 

[Tince]

Best interview I've heard from Sharpe. Every answer consisted of multiple sentences!

 

[Chris Craig]

He's good but just taking too many damn shots.

Definitely good. Just seems to make more mistakes then I thought a player of his experience would. That said, he got us this win with some clutch shots.

 

[blazerkor]

Both Scoot and Shae had really nice first halves. Good to see that. It will be crazy when those guys can put entire games together.

not a quality win TBH

Sharpe standing in the corner watching Brogdon/Grant/Ayton...

quality wins are the ones in which Scoot/Sharpe lead us

winning thanks to Brogdon/Grant/Ayton doesn't help our future

 

[andalusian]

This team is so green, but you can see why they could be scary in a couple of years

 

[KingSpeed]

1-3!!!

 

[TYDame]

We got carried by our vets.

 

[BIG Q]

Ayton is playing great even if he’s not getting the ball on offense.

They just don't know how to set him up.

 

[Idog1976]

I predict big games by Sharpe and Ayton, and the first hint of Scoot playing well.

Sharpe with 14pts 5 boards 3 assists 1 steal (actually 2 they robbed him one to Mays) and 2 blocks and 40% from 3. Not bad. Ayton with a double double including "Yeoman's work" on the glass, and Scoot finally looked like Scoot. Not a bad prediction! I didn't think we would win though! Great to see it!

I predict Scoot has a breakout game vs Detroit. Calling it now.

 

[theprunetang]

My goal for this game is to lose by single digits.

How did that work out for ya? Jk

 

[KingSpeed]

So the tournament starts Friday?

Yes. I don’t think we start til Tuesday though.

 

[Strenuus]

Still haven't reached 100. Lol.

Man that's such an embarrassing loss for Toronto. Love it.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ayton had 23 rebounds!

 

[Whyachi]

Raptors 4-29 from three, 13%
Blazers spazzy perimeter D put pressure on shooters

Are you serious? Scoot and Sharpe aren’t going to lead the team to wins anytime soon. They are 19 and 20 years old.

We reached 100 vs the Clippers
