#TrailBlazers #NBA
Ya’ll hear Tou say they wanna be a 50+ win team?
2 HOF players, 4 past multiple and current Allstars, plus some up and coming talent. 28-year NBA coach. i trust those numbers. Run hockey like line changes.
Is this team better than Houston, Minnesota, Denver, and LA? Barring significant injuries to those teams, I think pretty clearly not. So we’re fighting for play-in to fight OKC/SAS in round one again. Hurray -_-
Here should be the line up
Starters:
Ja, dru, toumani, clingan, Deni
Secondary unit:
Dame, scoot, Rob, hansen, Sidy
Shae returns to secondary unit when he is back. We don’t need 3 ball dominant guys in the starting line up.
Maybe you get into it later but i think it's important to take a look at how many of his 3 were contested/5s on the clock or less before judging.
Deni can get him uncontested 3s like he does for dc.
Edit: Yeah you did
The reason it can work is they're all good passers and all great finishers.
Guys I'm so stoked for this season
