Well, look at the bright side. We should improve this year. We certainly couldn't have set a lower bar than this opener if it was underground.

Hopefully we improve next year with a high draft pick this year.
 
Kelenna Azubuike calls games for the Warriors and has a voice that is more white sounding than even Tony Gwynn.

I thought at first who is this cheese dick. Then looked up their broadcast team and was like wow I liked him as a player. No way

The Warriors look good because the Blazers look bad. Are they going to beat the Nuggets?

The Mavs?

The Wolves?

The Suns?

Let alone beat the Celtics or 76ers or Knicks.

Many members here have some weird anti blazers toxic agenda and I’m not about the disease. Respectfully - “learned the board”, no thanks

I don't think any one of those three have a particularly bad contract because under 30M is what a championship caliber team should be expecting to pay their third best starter or ever fourth best. DA has shown that he can be very effective (championship level) as a starting C with the right personnel around him. Jerami looks like he would be great as a third or fourth best player on a contender who is very good but not great on both ends. I think Ant makes about what he's worth as a hired gun/bucket getter.

The problem is that these guys are playing on a team where they are all arguably the best player and the drop off after those three is pretty steep. None of these three guys can come close to carrying a team. All three are very solid complementary guys. We don't need any solid complementary guys right now because we don't have a star for them to complement, let alone the two stars it would take to contend. Right now they're just taking minutes away from guys we should all still have hope for... and for me that includes Scoot.

He’s def got more immediate potential than Simons. Just as a pg.

I’ll take 18/8 if he can get it on good efficiency eventually over anything Simons could ever offer us.

Im higher on Scoot than anyone, but just realistically speaking it’s worth the risk for us to just go all in on him from that position. We have no other option.

No
 
with 6 minutes left in the game, Grant-Simons-Ayton had taken 42 of Portland's 81 shots. And Portland was down by 25 points

Ant is the only one worth his contract between those three.

How is that an anti-blazer "toxic agenda" to point out that the Warriors are looking a LOT better because they're playing a shitty team?

It's called reality. The team is predicted to win under 22 games. They have no offensive flow, their defense is only marginally better than last year, and they have like 3 shooters.

maybe scoot needs to ditch the contacts and go back to the goggles again.

shot is so broken

Game's broken. His instincts are non-existent. No real good sense of when to drive, when to shoot, when to pull up, how to balance the floor or get back on defense.

I just watch him and I'd feel better if he was a blank slate.
 
I don't even know how good the Warriors are after that beat down. I just know that we're really really bad... but I did already know that going into the game.
 
Cronin and his draft express buddy better be scouting in Russia or somewhere because this team needs a lot.

About the only prospect I’m high on is Sharpe and maybe Rupert.

The biggest issue Scoot has is that he's so used to being the best player against mediocre talent. And he hasn't shown that he's changed his game, at all, because he's going up against taller, smarter and stronger players.

He makes such poor and predictable passes. His shot selection is Summer league worthy. He doesn't really appear to have worked on anything in his game.

It's no surprise to me that the only game he looked even remotely good was against some 3rd rate team from Germany.

i think all of the problems are stemming from his lack of a shot (both confidence and defenses sagging off him).
