Caleb Love vs Brandon Williams and Ryan Nemhard. This was the battle of the missing point guards.
Hansen and Clingan/Williams is interesting.. It is like they are giving Hansen some training wheels with the double big-man lineup. I think it is a good experiment to give him some burn, but I am very wary of Hansen's abilities as of yet…. hope he (Hansen) can figure it out.
Deni he'd 5 TO on 3rd quarter..
6 overall is kind of average for him with this amount of usage
Much needed btb win especially after the losing streak and if we look forward to the next games. The first half was incredible, it looked like early season Portland before the injuries with a lot pf movement and hard defense.
What i didnt like though and its been going on for games and games now, is the obession Thiago and the players have with that strange halfcourt press defense. In this game it was B Will who was killing us on the inside and we still went over screens and always gave him the lane instead of maybe letting him shoot his 18% Three Pointer.
And its not just that, a lot of our guys are not good enough at staying infront of the attacker and because of the pressure we try to apply, pffensive players shake our defensers off with an easy dribble. I think that has been a big issue for us this season and i dont get why we keep on doing that night in and out
Mike, when this podcasting career is over, you have a straightforward path to a TV and appliance sales and promotion position. "I guarantee it"!
A guarantee is only meaningful when it delivers and I "Love" how your guarantee always delivers.
The White Lotus-esq countdown music is a nice touch
Deni is number 2 in the league in minutes and still do what he is done he is just unhuman…
DC is a big game changer lately. he is worth so many extra positions at the offensive boards not only with his boards also tip some for the team.
Yang felt like he isn't ready. he can pass but he crowded and slowed the offense it was 4 vs 5. at defense he just stand there can't protect the rim at all. The guy isn't ready. I hope he will be but its not there yet.
Love played great. he is too small to D but he can shoot. can get to the rim. can dribble a little.
DC also had some moves under the rim
Avdija usage right now and amount of expected assists explain well the amount of turnovers especially that he is kinda new at the point guard position at NBA level. its different from him doing it in high-school. add to that his min and how hard he plays them
again, this team has ZERO killer instinct. when they were leading ""comfortably" by 17 I told myself I'd bet anything, this is going to be a close game I just knew it. out of their 14 wins they had 3 in double digits difference, the rest are nail biters with obviously too many losses. they just cannot build a nice cushion and cruse to victory.
I've seen few nice drills on offense.
coach is using Hansen and even Clingan wrong. why doesnt he post them up? they can both play good post but he puts them on the outside as if a post game is cancer, and Hansen is ineffective there. they're huge, both of them. how hard is it to have Hansen/Clingan post up, have perimeter shooters around and some cuts? use their BB IQ and skill instead of throwing 3's.
If this team can just stay healthy there will be some wins stacked.
โค
vote for deni!!!!!
Hansen Is not ready for the NBA repoboy. He's a rookie. Can't speak English. Not strong as most NBA players and his decision making is quick enough yet
Here's just little bits of time he's getting are enough for him. We can always put him in the g League again and let him get more run. Like everybody said he was a reach in the draft to take him that high
Love is showing that he's a gem. ๐
Dallas need a new lottery draft pick to help the Cooper rebuild.
This was another fun & exciting loss for Mavs fans, compliments of your Portland Trailblazers
If Love spends the summer at an elite point guard camp , he can have a long career.
Is this secrecy with injuries status in common in the league or Blazers are uniq.
Really don't understand why did they signed cooke.
Love isn't good enough. the issue isn't that half the games he isn't helping. its that he is ruining those games. he got the mentality of a star but his light is blinking and the mentality stay the same.
Deni become better and better as pg. once Jrue is back it will help the team.
Caleb's mom must call Deni's mom to make him call Deni
Could you please review the injured players and when they are expected to return?
Did anyone else think the peacock in game announcing was awful?
Love hits 4 3rees
Daniโs offensive foul due the size of the defender.
Most players are higher then him, thatโs the reason the referees gave an offensive foul as opposed to other times
Where tf is scoot

Deni needs to be benched for his terrible basketball in the clutch he doesn't pass then takes absolutely terrible shots this game shouldn't of been close he made it close by his crap play.
