Always fun to see your favorite team win. Scoot’s shot wasn’t falling today, but he’s looking better and not as jittery out there. Grant making a case for other teams to want him. Deni also not shooting well but I like his style. Hopefully he can find his shot.
 
Get a nice win in Game 3 and this place is pretty empty, lots of folks lost interest apparently

Team will do right by us and lose a few games. It's my only wish for this years team. They let me down today, but we all know they suck so we will be fine.
 
Clingan's production is crazy.

Scoot: I like his aggresiveness, but he was 0-5 in the restricted area. He drives into traffic.

It's actually not a problem because Scoot is drawing multiple defenders. On multiple plays Scoot drew multiple defenders, missed, and his teammates cleaned up the mess. Doesn't show on the box score, but should really count as a make for Scoot.

yeah, it kinda felt like it was buffering, but also like the old film projectors from my childhood.

I haven't noticed it in the Rip City Wrap-Up.

Maybe @THE HCP knows?
 
Actually two good games in a row yes we might have lost one but then you see improvement this game and took to them.
 
I missed this game entirely...forgot about the early tip off..looks like a good solid win! These guys needed a win.
 
This team has the talent to compete, no question. They pass the eye test, and they're just getting started. Deni is finding his role and rhythm, and his shots will start to fall. Scoot feels ready for a breakthrough, and with Sharpe returning soon, we’ll see some fun dynamics from the bench. Thybulle and Williams are exciting additions too—but right now, we’ve got so much depth, there’s no room for them. Crazy. And yes, I believe they should keep the starting five as is for a while.
 
I sure hope Grant leaves. Love him in Portland but he has no fit on this team where we are. Would rather see him win.

I don’t know a thing, but this makes it even MORE likely he’s heading out!

That's what we want, get 2UFRP for Jerami, and hopefully Scoot, Shaedon, Deni, Cooper, Donovan will become a championship caliber team

So the “hope” is an out of control pg that can’t shoot and only plays at one speed…an oft injured sg…a role player…a guy who hasn’t played a minute of college ball…and a plodding center who can’t stay on the floor because he’s not in shape.

I LOVE THIS PLAN!!!

Only 1/2 sarcastic
 
first game I have been to in person in a long while and it was a win! I finally saw Scoot in person and feel better about him honestly. he didn't finish that well and his shooting is still poor but I see the potential. I don't think he will be anywhere close to a star player in the nba at this point but I think he can be a decent poin guard if he improves some key things. if not then idk.

So the Dame trade return got the Blazers two unprotected first round picks, and you think Grant can fetch the same?

Swear some Blazer fans are on another planet from me. Literally excited for zero of the things you mention. This win looks like one fluke where a better team was traveling and had an off night. Will we see more of these games or games 1/2? I'd expected this game3 outcome is the rare one, I guess we'll see how it plays out over the next 5-10 games.

Deni looks like a complete waste just as when we acquired Roco or Nance. Possible big mistake giving up that 2029 unprotected pick for him.

Ant Grant and Ayton are such a pathetic big 3 and get in the way of watching the youth of this team. Wish they were gone.

Scoot is probably the only bright spot of who you mention, but even he seems far more likely to bust than be a long term starter. If we were trying to win he'd be a 3rd string player.

Clingan has been good and Camara is fine. Everyone else is worthless on this roster.
 
These young players dont give a damn about what the franchise should do when it comes to tanking. Ive been around teams of young men this age for another sport and playing loose is sacrilegious. Chauncey knows he more than likely is gone after this year and he'll want to fire up this team to go out and win. The organization can do what they want in building in a tank but players won't go along with it. Trades, Injuries are probably the only way to be sure this team is one of the 3 with worst record.

Pretty clearly looked like the better “team” than the pels who look thrown together in a pretty odd way. Happy we got the W to prove it this time
 
Thats probably why they look, “thrown together in a pretty odd way” like the guy above said.

Lol dude has played a single game for them, and many aren’t even high on him despite the stats. If we’re gonna play that game, still missing Shaedon and timelord

CJ, Zion and Ingram hypothetically should have been enough. We dominated them in a lot of ways both games.

but hate on, sports two. Do what you do

Pels PG was out right?

Yeah, that will be interesting to see how he makes a difference since Zion and Ingram like to create their own shots.

I think I would have preferred Murray in there than after watching Jordan Hawkins go off in the 4th quarter on Friday. He is the main reason the Blazers didn't sweep. He is shooting 53 % from deep in the first 3 games.

I was surprised at how well the Blazers defended Zion (3-12 and 4-15)
