💪 Incredible scoring night from our BIG-3, capped off by securing the win and (finally) not blowing a huge lead .
Deni – 26 points (10/15)
Sharpe – 21 points (8/13)
Simons – 17 points (7/11)
The first half of this game was the most fun I've had watching basketball in a long time
the difference between the detroit game is that Billups didn't tell them at half time to stop passing the ball and start losing the game.
Shaedon sharpe just looks like he’s bound to be a star. His scoring is so smooth and looks effortless. I’m not sure if he’ll reach his ceiling, but I’ve got the most stock in him for sure📈📈
It seems to me that they managed players availability in anticipation of having to play in Dallas the next night. Which helps explain Rob sitting previously, but Clingan has also looked gassed lately 🤷♂️
I've come to appreciate your takes Mike.
I didn't believe in Scoot's passing, as he mostly had drive and kick assists of the kind of "I got into trouble, I'll pass it out quickly". But you said Scoot has potential, and in the last few games I see he's learning a bit more to plan the offense he has good passes to open players (which is more valuable than ast in the long term). Now PDX has Deni and Scoot as potential future floor generals. Hope Billups give them time to develop (scoot in vision and planning, Deni in confidence and lowering TOs).
You saw that, and you saw more stuff, like calling out the pandering Cronin interview. I like your takes.
Even with NOLA being disadvantaged rest-wise, the Blazers still needed to take advantage and they sure did. Loved the confidence I saw from Shae and Scoot especially.
Scoot couldn't have been handed a better opportunity to succeed, and yet again, he looked timid out there while everyone else was eating.
I'm just not seeing it anymore with Scoot.
Blazer vision replay cut off just after the half. It said “This game not available LIVE on NBA League Pass because it is being broadcast on a channel in your local market” (I’m in Seattle area). It is available here on Xfinity but only in 480i. Between issues like this and being forced to watch commercials on the game replay l will save 120.00 next year and pass on Blazer Vision.
The best way to win a game is to make shots… This team is really starting to gel now. Ayton looks a whole lot more engaged. Tomani takes on all challengers and is making shots too. Deni is really putting pressure on the defense and gets huge rebounds. Sharpe is finally putting in big sustained moments. And Simons has got his groove back. Murray is looking a lot better now too. Scoot is up and down, but much more under control this year. Rob comes in and makes an instant impact. Fun game.
