Weird critiquing of Mays’ passing. I watched the game and he looked good and reliable. 11 assists and 3 turnovers.

We can only tell you what we know. He went back to the locker room. As soon as we got an update from PR we gave it.

Jamal Murray pulled a hammy. Those sting! Nuggets have him listed out 3-4 weeks.

Oh... the other ouchie tonight. Friendly fire, watch out. I noticed Toumani wears a mouthguard. Good idea how hard he plays.

that's encouraging. gunna watch the highlights later. it used to be when shae scores 15+ i am ecstatic. Now, he scores 18 I feel he didn't maximize his night. He's only 20

Sharpe tried to pack one on Len.... it would have blown the roof off. Alex got just enough of Shaedon to stop the insanity.

pls provide when it happened. i wamna look it up. almost dunks don't make the highlight
 
If Grant can take 20+ shots each game, Shaedon has to do that too
 
Grant with 25 shots.
Both Sharpe and Ayton with 14. (That is with Sharpe fouling out)
Ayton by far the most efficient 9-14 seems to be what this team needs to rely on.

Think the Kings got a little home cooking from the refs though the numbers weren't all that bad. 24 fouls for the Kings opposed to 29 for the Blazers. Free throws were about the same. 22-29 Blazers/ 28-38 Kings. Just seems the fouls called kind of hurt the Blazers a bit more? Not uncommon that the Home team gets a few more calls.

With Brogdon dealing with hamstring Scoot should get some minutes. Time for the kid to step up.

If Billups can get Grant to rebound, that would be something.

Grant shooting so much is by design. Chauncey has been imploring him to do so because we need some semblance of an offensive threat. I sorta agree with it but think the distribution can still be better.

Thinking they should get Scoot back and work Ayton all night. Make teams stop him.

they were good hard fouls for the most part.
Nothin' easy. The Kings were ending up 3 rows deep. Take that!!

First of all no loss this season should cause a meltdown because they all should be expected. We did lose Malcolm in the first half which left us with Mays as the only supposed PG but that dude doesn't know how to pass the ball. The team fought hard, Shaedon should be asserting himself more but I think everyone remembers that he's only 20 and I think most of us want at least one more season with a really high draft pick.

Mays had about a dozen assists so I’m not sure what you are referencing because he did a good job running the offense

The problem is that Sharpe defers. I think Billups has been trying to get him the ball and has been frustrated because Shae will pass out of a matchup that they worked to get him.

Sharpe doesn't need Billups help to get a "matchup." What Sharpe needs is the same thing Brandon Roy had, give him the ball between half court and the 3-point line and clear everyone out.
Sharpe needs space to work in, and his teammates out of the way.
There might be 3 defenders, but if his teammates are out of the way he can slither around them the way Roy did.

Anyone melting down over a loss this season, especially when we're down 3 of our top 6 players, is simply looking for a reason to complain.

Team played hard, above their skill level, and more or less, just ran out of gas. Plus, the loss will probably be a positive come April. Not much to be disappointed about.

Both teams played hard!
