You should see the road to my house, here on the Big Island of Hawaii
Blazers look fantastic with Deni running the show. Last night they played 1 game without blossoming superstar Avdija .. and .. we lost count of how many airballs Portland shot. Adjustments required, you got this P-Town
Avdija is Avdija. he has many players game. suspension of Luka. Harden way of getting to the line. Drive like LeBron and some Petrovich moves too…
If you complain about the roads there come to Costa Rica and drive for a week
Great episode Casey and Brooke. I wonder what is the talk around Deni by opponents behind closed doors, what are they thinking about his season? Are they view him as a potential top 10 player? Because I personally think he has MVP potential.
