Does the Tampa Bay hat stands for Trail Blazers?😂
That Caleb Love heat check was so him
Blazers are already getting banged up & losing preseason games. But look at the bright side… Cronin can draft a new lottery rookie next summer, and the team will finally have a new owner that's more competitive.
I hope the season will look better then the pre season – there are some issues that can be concerning
3 pt shooting looks bad (for deni especially )
Center position is lacking
still not clear who are the starting 5
if we want a better season then the last one we need to start the season much better
I don't do this but, I have to after watching the blazers game and being fan of the team Mike if you can please ask Chauncey wtf is up with the offense I thought it was supposed to change but it's the same after all these years….the big set the screen at the top of the key at the 3 point line then the big tries to roll to the paint which clogges the paint for our best players like shae and deni to score around at the rim which they are both really good at so Mike I ask you can you please let him know to USED the bigs as passer instead of screeners at the top of the key which opens the paint more both DC and Yang are really good passer they both can find the cutters to make easy buckets for our guys since we aren't the best shooting team this is how they were using Yang in summer league and why he was so good that type of offense is what I expected in pre season because we have the kind of guys to run that kind of offense. Stop with the pick and roll dame isn't back yet we have to try something else
Signs point to we blew the 2023 Draft 0/3 at this point
Coaching
Missing tou already! He is the tone setter that disrupts the opponent's offensive flow. And on offense he creates good spacing for the others. I am hopeful.He's just waiting till it counts.
Resting. This team needs time to get fully acquainted with the new pieces. With Scoot out figuring outWho's gonna handle the point position Will be a challenge. They showed some good flashes during the pre season. It's gonna take a little time to get them up to speed, and figure out the right rotations until Scoots return. Looking forward to the challenge with this group. I believe they have what it takes. Be patient y'all!
The lack of accurate shooting (3pt or otherwise) is glaring for this team. I understand being defensive minded but if they don't make the play-in it will be because they can't shoot. It's going to be an up and down season.
Without Tou and a 1/2 good Deni, the Blazers could not keep Utah bigs from dominating. Way too many give and go's right to the rim and open 3s as they tried to help down low. Clingan and Hansen got pushed around and out of position all night long. Plus way too many fouls and tipped passes to keep the Blazers out of pace all night. Good for Grant and Jrue keeping us in the game. I'm really not happy with the lack of offensive chops from Murray, Wesley, and Rupert. They really clog up the offense with unwillingness to try to score, even if wide open. Love is a chucker, but we need him until Scoot gets back.
I will check out this jeans store
Heard you’re going to be on Think Out Loud next week. Excited to listen!
It doesn't look like Rupert worked on his game since last season.
Blazers have 7 starters if al! 7 are healthy. So maybe with luck we can 5 available to start.
What's holding Shaedon back is his mind. He doesn't want to accept that he can be a superstar. He's talented enough right now that the worst he can be is a damn good player.
Caleb Love stinks, Yang is too hard on himself, and Shae is not a dawg. Jrue and Grant looked good though.
I keep hearing about this great Trailblazer defense and in three games this preseason opponents are averaging 123 ppg. Wow great defense!
Why are we still twiddling our thumbs with Grant, it’s just puzzling…don’t get it, but hey at least Simon’s gone!!
At some point that guy with the ball in his hands at the end of the game with the option to pass or shoot will be Yang Hansen
Your missing the key ingredient. Things will run through Scoot
