If Memphis plays Portland enough times in a row, they are bound to get their first win.

Scoot must be coming back fairly soon in this case, a week tops

No matter how much people want more unproven 18-19 year olds with high potential - I’ll be honest I just hope we keep winning with what we have.

Poor calabro has to commentate “and now as we announce the starting lineups in Spanish to honor the contributions of the Spanish to the American culture and here in Oregon”.

Completely tasteless lol. Think he’s just clueless but man cringeworthy.

Even if we traded Dame, imagine how good this team would be if we also traded the 3rd pick and Ant. I like Brogdon,I was very vocal about drafting him, we should trade Ant and keep him IMO, or have ant come off the bench. I think scoot is another mudiay/Dunn. Idiotic management, yet he's played 4 games, I know, I just never saw it and I still don't. Could we have gotten OG? Brogdon,Sharpe, OG, Grant, Ayton? Big/physical athletic team with defense.

I still hate the organization but this team is better than I thought.

https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/2023/11/watch-damian-lillard-is-playing-the-worst-defense-of-his-career-with-the-milwaukee-bucks.html

Dame is now playing on a bigger stage than he ever played in Portland for that Milwaukee team is supposed to
be the favorite in the Eastern conference.

I think Scoot will be okay in the end but ask again in January after the first third of the season has passed. Scoot,
Sharpe and Ant might be Portland's BC for the rest of the decade.

I would hate to be the team that has to pay for OG's next long term contract.

I think portland can and has in the past done a lot worse than a relatively young athletic defensive wing who can shoot the 3. In fact we didn't pay one awhile back and wound up in a roundabout way going from nic Batum to Evan turner when we had cap space to blow.

I was afraid to say that out loud but he really could be. I hope he learns to play more consistent and not disappear for long periods of time.

Brandon Roy?...


Sharpe reminds me of a short Paul George, plays really smooth. Can't believe olshey chose cj and Zach Collins over prime pg,I mean I can, but you know.

If Sharpe was 2-3 inches taller he would've gone first I think.

I'm not sure if he's the same player but definitely the style and athleticism fits the description

Roy is a fair comparison as he has a well rounded game (scoring/rebounding/passing) but his athleticism compares more to Clyde's no doubt
