Good start to this game. Everyone contributing
 
Wish Clingan would dunk when he is close to the basket. Shades of Nurk....
 
Who are these guys? Certainly not the Blzaers
 
I don't think we have had too many 17-0 runs this season.
 
Deni just seems to be getting better and better as the season goes on, you can see the confidence
 
We’re so good. Only 3.5 games behind Suns and looking at 2 game road winning streak.
 
Now this is more like it!
 
I think most of that run was with Ayton and Henderson on the bench.
It started with Deni airballng a 3. Then Scoot way off on a 3. Then Ayton. Oh well, I’ll take a 9 point lead on the road.
 
Ant's playing lately more like a guy you keep. He's making plays for himself and for teammates. He's worth a good return in trade when he's playing this way, but I don't know that anyone will give the Blazers appropriate value.

Deni playing like Deni; he's good in all areas almost every game. Shae looking good tonight, too.

Scoot, man, I've got to give it to Scoot. He doesn't have off-games. When he plays bad, he's horrible. Hard to believe this is the same player we've seen the last couple of games. Tonight he doesn't look like a G-Leaguer.
 
I'm curious about the 8 man rotation. Is it evaluation period with Grant out? Are we protecting trade assets from injury? Making a playoff push?

Man I see why the blazers were considering the Thompson twins over scoot. Might as well drafted one of them bc scoot can’t shoot for shit anyways

Yeah, I know coaches coach to win and players play to win, but there should be some sort of mandate to see what there is in guys like Rupert, especially if we're shorthanded
 
Jason Bennetti is great. Lucky to get him tonight. One of my faves.
 
Why isn't Banton playing these days? Is he injured?

I don't know if he's hurt, but Banton has the worst True Shooting % on the team since December 1st.

Would he be out there for his defense?

Ayton seems out to lunch
 
Where’d he come from? And where is Zora?

He calls games for every sport. One of the more exciting play by play guys. I think he’s based out of Detroit and calls all the Tigers games. As well as NFL and lots of college football.

Kind of a cool story, he was born with cerebral palsy and has been in a wheel chair his whole life. He’s still just one of the dudes and is the best in the biz in my opinion.

Wow. That’s cool!
