It was kind of sad because Deni had no real help from his team and that's the whole story
Hi there, I am in the airport waiting for a flight back from the Eurobasket. Some zoom from someone who watched DA closely: 1) He is the alpha dog of team Israel, which is after winning in money time (equal to PO and not for regular NBA league so Denny is not trying to work on improving his skills but winning. Meanwhile in practices it looks like he is working on fadeaway shots not only from 3 but also mid range. Also keep in mind that Blazers pro staff are here with him. Including Head couch and the DR. He is about to explode next year. Remember the numbers : 25, 9 and 5.
Man I'm not sure if I wanna watch this game against Greece or not… It'll probably be brutal
Deni added step back 3s to his arsenal and that's a gamechanger. The blazers are going to the playoffs.
Interesting how the Euro teams have changed over time. It used to be Spain and France and everybody else. Now there are many good teams. Germany seems like the favorite with many NBA players. I wonder if Deni would ever consider playing for Serbia. His dad was on their national team back in the day.
I think that you can see that there is a large gap between NBA players to the rest of the players
Has anyone made the Law and Order joke about Tom Dundon's name? .. if not, FIRST! Dun Dunnnnnnn!
Deni is a beast !!
He is a solid on defense .. but his attack mode has changed ..
He can't be denied.
Great epidosde! Tho I must say I don't agree with the statement that Deni only played well for the last 20 games of the season.
After his slow start (let's say 20 games in), he found his rhythm and emerges as the best player on the team.
Joe Ovies has a great voice.
Was really easy to stay focused on everything he talked about.
Mike , you are the MAN!
I don't think anyone should expect Deni to make a "massive leap"; he is playing great right now, and another massive leap for Deni will make him a top 20 player in the league, which is something irrational in my opinion. If we want the Blazers to succeed next season, we should expect other players to make massive leaps.
I think we can expect 23/8/4 in the NBA this season from him
my personal feeling is while deni practice all summer at the gym, weight room, and had personal trainers work on his shape and muscles at the beach every day at 6am, shadon sharpe is smoking weed somewhere, i dont know that, that is just my feeling. sharpe just dosent have the same motivation like players as deni, toumani, scoot and holiday
Great job, Mike. Nice info.
Could you lever your real estate knowledge to do a show on the Moda Center area and what real estate plays/purchases the new Blazers ownership group could make?
Thanks for watching and covering Deni!
