2. I feel okay where they are at mostly because the young guys are getting playing time and are all looking improved from last year. I still hope they trade some of these vets sooner than later but we have much better balance this year.

3. I understand what you’re saying about the third-quarter against the suns but I don’t quite let the coach off the hook that easy. He should have his team extra pumped up in the third quarter knowing how they’ve been playing in that quarter and I didn’t see that. Overall, I’m encouraged with the Blazers. I think if you get Deni And scoot to play up to their potential, they can be pretty competitive. They have length and depth, which gives them potential for vast improvements this year.

4. I don't care about players high paying contracts or first round picks, they still can come from the bench as a second unit!… Yes Scoot is quick, athletic and knows how to dribble, but unfortunately he is too much iso and a ball hugger, that's why I think Scoot is a Shooting Guard and definitely not a Point Guard!
   I think the best lineup is,
   Clingan – Center
   Camara – #4
   Rupert – #3
   Banton – #2
   Avdija – PG
   Clingan is screening better and rolling better on Pick N' Roll then Ayton, with Ayton all of Avdija potential is shut down and he get stucked over and over again, also the defense will look more solid with this lineup!

5. as long a DA lives in the paint this offence is unwatchable 😢… DA must be strech 5… he can shoot…. deni cant run pick and roll when DA is in the paint its too crowded! thats why it went well with banton… DA and coach need to make compromise otherwise the offence will keep being unwatchable😮

6. Simon’s is stopping this team 100%. NO Doubt about it!! Please trade, wave, give away whatever it takes…the sooner he’s gone the sooner we will rise!!! Not trying to be mean it’s just business

7. Simon’s constant bad defense, turn overs, bad shots, and bad decisions is what Phoenix capitalized on

8. Mike, it's obvious your bad juju at halftime jinxed the Blazers. Appreciate your insight and analysis.

9. He is talking to you meerkat

10. I wouldn't mind "sneaking" Delano in for short bursts of energy and scoring more in the early quarters. Say 3-4 minutes. Do it before a scoring drought can continue.

11. Ant is not the only problem, but trading him would sure clear some up.

12. Ayton is the problem. Our guard can’t be dynamic on offense with him as a partner. Can wait for Rob Williams to come back and show Ayton how it’s done.

13. I am officially revamping My top 5 LEAST liked "Blazers" over the past 20 years list I posted a couple days ago. I can't mentally deal with this anymore. 1. Simons 2. Carmelo 3. Gp2 4. Felton 5. Ariza/Gasol. It is clear as day. Cauncey is a baboon. #freeBanton #freeSharpe #freePdx. One would think after the GP2 saga which was the equivalent of someone spitting in your face I couldn't hate anyone more but you were wrong. I was wrong. Im going to get my inhaler now.
