I love our Lord Savior Jesus Christ .. I also love our blazers Chauncey billups is the perfect coach to capture the Flagg 🎉❤ this is some 3D chest keeping him and all the vets as long as possible
I guess it’s not surprising, with Scoot out and Anferno sputtering, but Blazers need more playmaking.
In the first half, Danny led the offense and Portland looked good. I don't understand why they stopped and went back to Hero Ball. Why isn't Danny more efficient in the second half?
Did you know that there is a very big sports YouTuber in Israel who makes a video about Danny after every game of his from the moment he entered NBA? He analyzes Danny's every move and also talks about the team's playing style.
they should make the All-Star game mean something. last All-Star was embarrassing. what if the winning conference gets home court advantage in the NBA final?
Avdija scores 12 in one Q… what do we do? dont let him see the ball again. stop playing drills and start playing Hero Ball for the rest of the game.
The trade was a blow to deni he is a guy that fully commits to his team and the organization, it was much harder on him that you think
Credit to the Blazers for trying to feed Ant as many 3s as they could to get him going, but it just didn't work and the game ended as soon as they realized he wasn't going to wake up.
detectives say: "search for the woman" trying to solve misteries (like Deni's riddle)
Blazers sorely need a playmaking point guard. Dani is great at playmaking and an excellent option at times.
Also, all the blazers G/F can work on their ball handling skills.
Really enjoyed your interview report! Thanks a lot for the inside information.
There was a fist bump in the middle of the game (two games ago?) between Deni and Billups that takes on a new perspective now.
We can clearly see that Deni needs to feel at home, both physically and mentally, to play good basketball. the mental game is much more important, imo. good to hear that Billups and Deni connected.
I honestly went from hating Deni in the beginning, to him now being one of my favorite players on the roster. Hope he sticks around for a long time
First half Deni came and they were starting sharing the ball spacing up the floor and it really worked!… Second half except Deni everyone were so selfish, dribbling excessively running down the clock not sharing the ball at all?… Another big fact, except Deni they are not making themselves available to receive the ball, they're just standing there and let the ball handler deal by himself with the double teaming on him and that is really bad basketball!!!… What is funny, Chauncey said that there are no selfish players on the team 🤣🤣🤣?
I think Sharpe being selfish isnt an issue ….just bad decision making on both OF & DF
Same old story- can't score enough to hang (although Clippers killed it from deep). Also, they kept getting into the lane without a real plan. I want Sharpe to get up more shots. He might force a few, but he really needs to put pressure on the other team and give Ant and others some relief.
