Hey Mike, one thing is bothering me so far this season, all the dang 3 attempts. They had the Lakers out manned and still put up 12 3's in the 1st quarter while the Lakers only put up 4. The Blazers could have put them away sooner. Going forward I hope we can scale back the 3's
Are you seriously reading FanDuel prop bet advertisements? After witnessing the epicenter of possibly the largest NBA gambling travesty in history? There has got to be another company that wants to sponsor this show.
You said the best thing about Deni's start to the season –
He's not taking over games, you don't see him go crazy and overall it feels he's playing like.. 3rd gear maybe.
And then you look at the box score – he gets his numbers and has a very positive impact on the team.
Jrue needs a statue. Why are NBA teams stingy with statues?
We got lucky Bronny didn't go off for 30 10 10
Deni and Jrue are complementing each other perfectly, hope more players join them soon.
If there's an opportunity to go after a two-way star. I honestly think pushing some chips in with a lot of draft picks make sense. The guy that can get a bucket at the end of the game but still maintain the defensive identity.
Calling Jrue a role player on this team is absolute disrespect, he’s clearly one of the best players on the team if not the best. He’s also the only reliable player to have the ball in his hands down the stretch of close games. I know he’s going to make the right play.
Love this Blazers team..
Deni is a true G.
Deni & Jrue are becoming the duo from hell to other teams ..
Just kick your poison )
This team as a whole is special.
TO my mind Jreu has always been a good in late game situations. He may be quiet, but he makes the right decisions. A steal here, an assist there…He never seems to panic. That's leadership a young team needs.
Every game I thank my lucky stars I get to watch Jrue instead of Simons. I also think it’s obvious DC hit the weight room over the summer because he’s finishing put backs with guys hanging off him that he was me-bounding and missing 2-3 times in a row last year.
You had me at American Boris Diaw.
So much to love and look forward to!! Team is looking feisty 🙂
Don’t worry about Yang, in a few short years he will become a rotational player that will eventually be let go
When Toumani is aggressive offensively it changes our team
Really hoping we have an update on Scoot soon🤞🤞🤞
Mike , on the chirping scale or Larry Bird being a 10, where does Deni fall? Given the blur of 82 games, you take the win regardless of the circumstance.
Donovan needs to be taking the ball to the rim more often. Dude gets so many opportunities to just crush them down low and always kicks it back out to someone to shoot a 3
Mike I get the lakers were down to practice squad players but these are the games we usually should win but always lose the fact we beat them on a back to back no one got hurt thank god we left healthy
And we won the game road wins are tough in the NBA and the fact that we shot horribly and we could have played better
“Just leaves room in the room for improvement on a bigger ceiling”
Ayton got Deni-nated.
This game should have been a blow out early. Blazers kept shooting themselves in the foot. They would create a turnover and give it right back with one.
Tumani, if you look at the box score didn't appear to have a good game, but he was huge on defense the whole game and it doesn't show in the stats.
Big up to Shaedon, he is now second on team in steals. Guy is not used to playing defense, once his body and legs catch up his offensive should return to normal.
Drew is our new Andre Miller love the guy always seems to make the right decisions 🎉🎉🎉
Should we GAMBle and start a pool tosee how many games before Robert Williams plays before getting re-injured.
I was wrong about JG okay
Deni is a beast. only had three turnovers and yes, two were horridness, but his game is just spectacular
Why u so silent about how good deni is? Each game you don't mention him at all, while he is putting up all star numbers. You guys glaze shaedon yet he shoots 20% each year, where's the deni love? Without him we are 0-4.
Go Blazers ! I like every Trailblazers win over the Lakers…The 2-2 start is pretty good the team will improve looking forward to see at least a Play in Team in 2025-2026 season..The Blazers win Dame next year will be a force in West !
