I’d way rather have a team that has somewhat of a winning culture & young guys that are as in-game developed as they can be and have a 3-5% chance at the first pick than a 19-63 team that has a 14% chance at the first pick. Hawks have as good of a core as the Pistons #RCWrapUp
In a matter of days, Shaedon Sharpe quickly emerged as Portland's leading bucket-getter.

#RCWrapUp I don’t know how you can say both teams offense looks the same and it was just ball going in the hoop. The difference in off ball movement, cutting, off ball screens, etc. between the two teams was obvious. Griz roster was gutted and still generated great looks.
#RCWrapUp I understand what Danny is saying with no coach could fix this, but effort aside, there was a stark difference in offensive set creativity tonight between the two teams. Also, we’re still 20th in pace despite being the 2nd youngest team in the league.
#RCWrapUp how much do you guys blame the zero off ball movement and ball watching offense on players and their effort versus the coaching staff not running creative sets?
The Blazers' defense has looked surprisingly good so far, and Clingan and Camara can be thanked for that.

@RCWrapUp I've really liked Scoot the last few games, but think he looks like he'll be a solid player, but point guards who aren't great shooters or elite athletes don't usually go on to be great. See him as a Rubio type, a solid starter or elite back up guard.
#RCWrapUp I know scoot went 2/12, but loved that he seemed to be trying to make WAY more contact with the rim defenders, leads to more foul calls and easier put back opps for our crash the offensive glass heavy scheme. Last year, went for more around the defenders touch shots
#RCWrapUp thanks for the response fellas!!! Would love to see DC play more minutes with Ant, because I feel like his screens and boxing out is opening up the game for Scoot and making life easier for him, and think it’d do the same for Ant
How do you guys feel about DA’s completely pathetic inability to set a screen that kills our offense and makes it impossible for our guards to get good shots off the dribble? #RCWrapUp
@ShoozumOops The difference is that De’Aaron Fox was the fastest player in the league from the get-go, while Scoot has proved to be a good-not-great athlete with no truly elite skill to make up for it. If Scoot had Fox’s speed and quickness, I wouldn’t be worried about him at all.
A game full of slipping and sliding left more questions than answers for Green Bay.

@ShoozumOops Maurice Lucas clears Brandon! The leading scorer on our only championship team, 4x all star, 2x all nba, 2x all defense. I know and remember how important Brandon was, but Maurice v Dawkins was the most important moment in team history. Plus, he coached for us twice. True legend.
