If my son were not at the game and I am hoping to see him I would turn off this trash.

It's flat out idiotic that Shaedon played. He's been in a rut and also injured - give him a rest.

But nope, Billups decides to start him only for him to contribute nothing and get injured.

Talent matters. Or the Spurs would look a lot better than they have under Popovich. Which the point is even with Popovich, the Blazers would still lose a lot.

Talked to my son after he came back from the game. He said Ayton is even worse in person. Bad hands, has to think before making a move and flinches away from contact.

There's no way to know that. The Blazers haven't had a very talented healthy team for him to coach yet.

Good episode of Shaqtin' a Fool (or Poole in this case). And you'll find out why I posted this here once you start watching #4. ;)

Yup, all the same warts the Suns complained about. I think all 3 of those are inherently unfixable as they aren't skill or experience related but entirely mentality/personality related.

Which, whatever we aren't trying to win right now and his rebounding+midrange shooting is helpful in the meantime while others develop. But we definitely need to keep our eye out for a center upgrade and if we can shop Ayton to bring back any assets we should not get attached or see him as a long-term piece.
