This game was the most fun I have had watching Portland all season - and I think a part of that was the simple absence of Grant and to a lesser extent Brogdan.


Both options have their warts.

Both Sharpe and Scoot need good spacing in order to be most effective--especially Scoot at this stage. Duop is at least a threat to hit a 3, so it really opens up opposing defenses and changes all kinds of things for the Blazers on offense.

Ya - agreed. Both very imperfect options. Just love the way Moses rebounds and takes up space w/ his length. But the spacing Duop provides as you said is important.

There are a lot of things I wish I could pull from other Blazer centers and push into Ayton's body/brain.
