Here's is the game thread.

Kings are 2-4, might be a good time to play them.

Will Scoot play?

I don't see the records of the 2 teams in your intro. Otherwise, great!

 

[ant]

Murray Bros showdown! Maybe Kris will get a few of Rob’s now-available minutes at backup PF.

let's see what the rookie can do.

 

[BIG Q]

It will be Walker going 0-5 from three

 

[BassPlaya]

Check starter names to pics match again....

Jabari doinked 4 in a row in 90 seconds. If you blinked, you missed him missing 3's.

I'm calling it now! Blazer Win! Coming In HOT!

maybe.

I hope not. Im resigned to the losing. Let's just get the losing started so I can start dreaming of the first pick. My solace will be good play and numbers for the young guys.

 

[kjironman1]

Please explain to me how Sharpe is not on this list?


Edit- It's been pointed out in the tweet thread that Simons was left off as well.
Go Figure that one?

Lazy, they do not watch Portland, but Scoot is the shiny new toy that was a top 3 pick.

Sharpe should probably be on the list but not top-10 or even top-15 (although I think Lamelo is too high)

based upon what I've seen I wouldn't put Scoot on that list...not yet at least

as for Ant, about the only player on that list that Ant has an argument against is Herro. For the rest, I think the Blazers would be better off with any of them

Have we seen Sharpe and Ant's birth certificates?

Without De'Aaron Fox the Kings were down by as much as 39 points in their loss in Houston yesterday.

The Kings are 0-3 without Fox.

We will put them in their place, one hit wonders

And still better than the EuroFlopper we traded off!

Don’t worry man, some of the vets will be traded for a long term forward eventually, and we will draft another with our lotto pick. There will be much more to be excited about next season.

Ayton is finding his place with this young team. I like how he fits.

Scoot getting hurt when he did really stinks. He and Ayton looked like they were just developing some chemistry.

Bruh scoot ain't out for the year, just a few games lol.

the Rockets obliterated the Kings in b2b games. It's not just missing Fox, a bunch of other Kings can't hit anything. Sacramento starters barely scratched 40 points on 35% shooting. It's gotta be some ugly basketball.

 

[Whyachi]

Jerami Grant vs. the Kings.
hmmmm.. I like the other game thread that shows all the players. I don't want to only root for 1 Blazer going ISO and firing off 12-14 triples.
