This is the Dame I love and that Portland needs. Most efficient 60 burger in NBA history with 89.8 TS%. 5 games now of scoring 25pts in each half of a game (more than Harden and Kobe). Still a missed free throw (that even Dame said post game he was disappointed about). Didn't need to miss that last 3, although SICK if he hits it. 4 turnovers, but 3 steals. This is the kind of play Portland needs. Not necessarily 60, but EFFECIENT, and hitting 3s and free throws, while limiting mistakes. It opens up the game so much for the team. 3-4 dunks in a row as Portland just put the game away.
Never called him washed. Never advocated for trade. But we have to acknowledge, this month has been a marked difference from the previous months.

1 win vs tanking team doesn't mean much..
allowing 127 points from tanking team is not a good performance (74point in the 1st half with all starters is a big concern)
one good performance from Nurk, doesn't mean we don't need ANOTHER C (not to trade Nurk) - Need to add someone like Nick Richards imo
Feel Nas need to start/play more minutes. he gets to the rim he shoot 3s (or until Hart brings his last years form back)
Simons i think is keep improving, and until he reach his full potential he should be UNTOUCHABLE
still think we need to flip GPll and Watford for some asset to position ourselves for a big summer trade

Simons undermined Eric’s criticism of the viewers wanting to trade him. No one said he sucked. He’s simply the highest demanded player that trade partners want, that can deliver a PF/C, his play tonight proved that. I also think Nurk gets bored and tired of being a “Wide Receiver used as a blocker.” Billups reminds me of McMillan who couldn’t make game adjustments and rigidly held to his game plan.

Maybe it's kinda corny, but after that fantastic 2nd quarter, I was really thinking, "They're gonna win it for Bill Schonely, and give Mrs. Schonely that game ball! C'mon!..".

Every game over the last few weeks I have wondered why doesn’t Scott Brooks step up and coach this team? Chauncey just stands there and only makes subs, he’s not running plays or adjusting at all. This team needs a no BS coach and one that pushes the same winning mentality as Dame.

I don‘t know if Chauncey is the right coach but it does kinda seem to me like he‘s too nice with the vets. He always says the right things in interviews but i don‘t know if he has the guts to tell that to a Grant or Hart or GP to their face. I don‘t think he‘s being strict enough with those guys and he‘s kind letting them do what they want. Him only yelling at Sharpe is a good example of that

obviously we cannot compete this or next year. might as well use gpll to get some asset. in couple of years time hell be trash

win/win/win for all 3 teams:
POR receives: Vanderbilt, Crowder
PHX receives: Hart
UTA receives: GBIII, 2023 1st (via suns)
Portland replaces Harts production with Vanderbilt and sends the 1st from suns to UTA (giving them the 1st they want for vanderbilt). Suns get HART for Crowder (who isn't playing) and gives them good rebounding next to bridges, johnson , ayton and Portland gets a stout defender with years of playoff experience that dame, grant can trust in crunch time in Jae crowder. And more importantly, POR still stays under tax this year and we keep all our picks!! UTA gets GBIII (young player still on rookie contract)
I don't think we do a deal with TOR since masai will probs ask for the kitchen sink for any of their players

CBA question:
If we make a trade that doesn’t require any TPEs but that involves a player who fits into one anyways (ie trading Winslow and Keon for Rui), could we use the TPE on that player (in this case, using the RoCo TPE for Rui) for the purpose of creating a new TPE for the outgoing players, for whom we technically wouldn’t be receiving any salary in return if it’s all accounted for by an existing TPE?
Asking because I don’t see us using the TPE on its own and going over the tax, but could see such scenarios involving Winslow or maybe Hart for two players on smaller contracts such that one of them fits the RoCo TPE

P.J. Washington would be a good bookend with Grant. Ironically, they are identical in measurements and even their stats per 36 minutes are very similar. I don't believe the Blazers are gonna use any exemption for trades though. They would need to include a player(s)/salary swap.

unforced turnovers are a major problem, stagnant offense especially when our bench takes over is another glaring problem. Roster wise, I honestly believe we are just a few pieces away, a legit PF, Move J.Grant to the 3. a sixth man than can provide energy/creativity. upgrading eubanks minutes would be nice as well. But when your team comes out like they did last night, coach has to take blame, he either didnt prepare them or they are not buying into his coaching style. I personally like the roster even though there are improvements, problem is we dont have the assets to improve what we need.

Well if there’s no trade deadline movement or coach change then might as well start figuring out draft/summer plans. Not even worth getting upset over anymore since the team doesn’t have any heart in these games. Hopefully we’ll at least get some highlights to replay n pretend this team has any desire to win.

Welcome back Nasir Little. That 3 for 3 from 3 was NEEDED. Dame - back-to-back games 100% from the charity stripe. The early foul trouble players are getting in with reach fouls and sloppy screens is a plague. Even Drew, having to cover for Nurk screwing up the rotation with untimely fouls was solid. GD it, if Portland ever cleans up their mistakes... what could be.

The only way I can explain to myself that Grant still gets put on guards is that Chauncey is trying to get him to learn how to navigate screens better with reps bc theory without reps doesn‘t help a ton but i don‘t know if that makes a ton of sense bc Jerami isn‘t the youngest anymore so idk how much he can/wants to improve that if he hasn‘t done it until now.

he's a Top 5 center in the league... have said this over the last year & get tired
of stupid articles & writers promoting his trade... ;
"b;lazers edge' & blazers "whatever" who write constant crap stories & trades
should be forced to "Remove" 'Blazers' from their title, until they start actually Acting like real Fans!!! ; )
IF we make a trade, it should be young pieces we dont use, for a LEGIT PWR Center or Fwd , who Deals w/ our weakness in the Paint!!! ;

Thanks for always staying away from the Blazers media narratives and giving us actual basketball takes. I've always been a Josh Hart fan, but maaan he's been killing us lately. He needs to find his confidence on taking spot up 3s. In regards to Billups, I feel hes improved a decent amount. Hes been using Grant on guards less than he did in the beginning of the season and he finally used his challenge this last game. Sure he still has plenty of work to do, so we'll see jow much more he can improve

I think we would benefit a lot from giving some of Eubanks minutes to Jabari. Depending on the matchup we could either play him at the 4 with Nurk at the 5 or go small alongside Grant with a more switchable lineup (Dame/GP2/Hart or Nas when he comes back). One way or another, Eubanks isn’t going to help us long term and I’d love to see Jabari eat his minutes and see how he looks in different roles

Eric, I know exactly who you are talking about, I use to go to Quest when I was 18 in 2003 and everyone knew about that cop. He stopped my friend one night for public intoxication even though none of us had a drink, he took him to the ground with a knee to the back and cuffed him and took to the station only to return to quest to mess with more kids trying to legally have a good time. My buddy was released because he blew a 0 but it left a lasting impression on all of us and our trust of cops. I can’t believe he’s still a cop but it’s also not surprising. Thanks for sharing your story, it opened up a lot of memories.

Dame finally has a Dame game... on a bum ankle, and still an L. So gross. He only missed a few layups this game, but every one led to free points on the other end... and several guys missed layups as well, every GD time leading to easy run-outs and free 2 points on the other end. They still ended the game flat, disconnected, and frantic. Where is the sense of urgency? They look like spastics out there, each taking their turn to triple-threat iso instead of moving the ball to an in-rhythm, wide open shooter. Portland is not playing very smart basketball. Ant is just is not a passer or play maker for anyone but himself right now. Portland is their own worst enemy. "Pain" is the correct sentiment.

We need to keep level. Just like people shouldn't crap on Jusuf for being a middle of the road starting center, we shouldn't overreact to the blazers being a middle of the road team. We are 7 deep when healthy! The team is average with some upside over the next 2-3 seasons

Eubanks not in box during missed Free Throw... is that a legal play? A Magic player even told ref there was no Blazer in rebound slot. Regardless, a depressed Coach Billups with hands in pocket during that mess makes everything even more embarrassing.

Starters: 15% from 3 on 33 attempts, 3 players with 5 fouls, 12 turnovers, scoring only 10 points in the first 8 minutes of the 1st quarter, Portland IN THE PENALTY in the first 5 minutes of the game, and ZERO points scored (in consecutive games) in the first 4 minutes 41 seconds out of the half-time break. This is not a serious team.
I like that Dame finally cleaned up his at the rim attempts and was more aggressive, strategic, and purposeful. That dunk Dame had was EXACTLY what a LEADER does... and then he took all that energy and excitement, on his home court, with a Rose Garden ready to explode... and jacked up a rushed 3. If you're going to take that shot, you'd better fkn make it. He didn't. Then Grant misses a 3, and Wagner gets a dunk, and we're right back to JACK SQUAT.
I have no idea how there is any oxygen in the room to spare for Drew Eubanks after talking about this starting line-up, but it was worth noting as you guys did... WTF is Gary Payton doing on the first spot at the free throw line getting absolutely bodied? Didn't see that coming. Oh, I did, and so did EVERYONE except the players and coaches.
This team lacks a sense of itself, purpose, and focus. So much bad, where do you even begin? It's so disappointing.

I wonder whether you think it would be a good idea to just put an absolute ceiling on the number of minutes our starters play per game (within reason, maybe 32 for Josh/Nurk and 36 for Jerami/Dame/Ant) and focus on playing the young guys for the rest of the season. If we have any aspirations of making the playoffs, there’s no way we do anything good if our vets are run down before game 1. And if we don’t make the playoffs, it would only put us in better position for the draft lottery, where we’re only 3 wins back from #5 Orlando. But either way, it would keep our older guys fresher and would help bring Sharpe/Walker/Keon along, which I think is necessary for them to be able to contribute at all during Dame’s timeline (or in the case of Keon, perhaps raising his trade value). This isn’t gonna be our year anyways, so if our bench is gonna be this rough, I’d rather work through as many of the developmental kinks this season as possible rather than playing veterans 40+ minutes. In truth, this will only help our starters in the short-term anyways

Guys, there are lots of symptoms as well as less-impactful problems...but the reality is simple. It was obvious back in July when Cronin decided to hold on to Hart. We were going to F&^%& run the three-guard-lineup yet again. We are just too damn small, weak and lack length to hang with much of the modern NBA. You can't run three guards and not have a slew of symptoms ranging from shot creation to defense. And I mean help defense, man-to-man, perimeter, rim protection and switchability/versatility. We lack ALLL of that. The magic just highlighted it for everyone really well, but that's the problem. Its on Joe Cronin. You can't be one of the smallest/non-lengthy teams and win consistently. Until that significantly changes, this team will exhibit the symptoms of a bad team on both sides of the court depending on the matchup. Period.

Question: What is doing the same thing over & over and expecting a different result? 🤷🏻♂️
Everything I’m hearing from you guys tells me Chauncey’s in way over his head. He brought this on us himself. He should’ve rested the starters AND played the bench more when we were winning but refused and this is the result.
SS was effective at SG. Hart was thrice as effective at guard last year. If we try Dame, Ant, Grant, Jabari, Nurk and bring in Sharpe at BUSG and Hart at BUPG, that, and a few more tweaks to balance the 1st & 2nd units couldn’t possibly hurt what were currently doing. And if you’re too petrified to switch the lineup can we at least run more? We’re not gonna out-big Toronto & Orlando. He could empower his young guys, play to their strengths and let em run like Loyola Marymount. Rip Hank Gathers
CB’s eerily similar to Stotts in that he’s too stubborn to try something new thinking that’s an admission of being wrong in the 1st place. Sorry for the long comment. 🤦🏻♂️

John Collins, Bogdanovic and Okongwu from Hawks are available for trade. Maybe Hunter as well. Players are not happy with Young, he is very selfish player. Things around Suns are very bad atm, we all know how much disrespect they were to Deandre Ayton. So Blazers must be vigilance, and grab him if there is a chance. Grant is ok offensively, but he average 3-4 rebounds per game as PF, that is terrible. Dame need strong players around him.

I say we have to be 6-4 or 7-3 in the next 10 home games. We must have more than. 500 or less. This is a telling period for the Blazers. Josh Hart needs to play free with Dame on the court. That's how he'll get his 20. Tonight... 121 to 107, Blazers.

Well, Orlando gave up more than 20 3 pointers to Sacramento yesterday in a record setting game for the Kings franchise. I expect a better effort from the Magic in this game vs. Portland.

Funnily enough Magic are my 2nd fav team and my fav team from the East Franz, Paolo, Wendell Carter are the names to watch those guys can just get hot and go for 25+ points. They have a lot on length with Bol, Mo Bamba, Harris, Okeke, Mo Wagner. Luckily they are missing some guys due to suspensions but I believe they get Bol Bol back tonight and Mo. The thing that scares me is how big their lineups are they can go with Fultz 6-3, Franz 6-9, Paolo 6-11, Bol 7-11, WCJ 6-10 Franz Bol Paolo all are very versatile and can playmake so it gives them position versatility and they can go jumbo. It’ll be a good watch love watching the Magic but I love the blazers more. LETS GO WIN 🚩🏴

Those wins aren’t impressive, one of the teams the blazers lost both games to too

Nice content!! Always tuning in to the post game shows and these are awesome too.

it was 30-7 with Little & Eubanks starting
that's a tank squad
certain Blazers got their stats, that's all that mattered in this game
That Eubanks breakdown lol😂
"They just flat out kicked our ass, it's simple. Their (Raptors) length, their athleticism, their switch-ability, their ball pressure, their physicality sped us up and we didn't do a great job of handling that at all. So we all got our behinds kicked, from me on down. They killed us when it came to offensive rebounding and second-chance points, points in the paint. They got up in our chest and they were very, very physical with us and it sped us up and we didn't handle it well "` Mike Brown after taking a beat from Raptors.
Anybody there? Does it sound familiar?.......lol
Do you guys know that Eubanks was waived by Toronto after the trade w/ San Antonio?
I don't get you guys spending so much time talking about that plumber. He's a bench player. Masai said:
'Hey Drew, here's your hat, don't let the door hit you on your way out".
End of the story......
I don't know why everybody wants to tank to get 1st place anyway Portland always screws up pics. How many 1st round picks have we had and screwed up?
Yea dont feel so bad - Toronto is actually Top 5 Offence in East right now & likely Top 5 Defence (10th overall)
What's really sad about this Blazers team is head coach Billups was part of the 2004 "Tough and Gritty D" pistons that won the NBA title. How is it that this head coach won the NBA finals MVP on that team, but can't get anything of the Title team translated to how the Blazers play? The blazers are the softest, weakest, quickly losing composure team I've seen. Nothing I expected from Billups translated into what I expected. Nothing.
Well can’t go 4-2 on the homestretch anymore, I thought they’d still pull it off after getting down 0-2 to start it. Ah well
Raps follower here, missing Hart and Nurkic made a big difference. Eubanks doesn't deserve the heat, Little, Grant, your forwards did not show up --- except maybe Watford ? Trash talking FVV by little after a block was not a good idea.....FVV = Lowry - don't poke the bear. Not sure about CB as coach - Stotts was a really good coach, FO has been lousy with a generational committed player like Dame on your roster. Portlands a great city, hope to visit soon!
Who do you blame, coaching or players for losing games because they revert back to slow down halfcourt play anytime they get a lead or get the game close in the 4th? Cause that’s a major problem with this team in many games this season. Fight back using pace, movement and passing then shut it down and go iso yet again. 🤦🏻♂️
You guys realize the agents/Gms leak all this so called info to drive prices up right? The info this time of year gets leaked directly from them. I like OG 4 1st is way to much him. He would make us a slightly better mediocre team. I don't mind if they throw the kitchen sink at someone but it needs to be for superstar level player.
Someone could make a clip with how many times Eric gets cut off mid-sentence 😂😂😂
If we were a deep team, we could better afford to have "unplayable" players on our bench, but we're not. Why do we have two unplayable back up centers on our bench this whole season? No offense to Butler and Badji, but we could better use those sideline seats for butts that can actually be on the court for us once in a while....
CB needs to be gone like yesterday.. For me personally, the most damning thing was when he said something like "I can't put my finger on why we're struggling", or something similar (can't find the quote). I never want to hear that from a head coach. Plus of course, coming out flat or failing to finish a game/pissing away leads.
We Lacked Intensity Tonight
This is what happens when we don’t have Nurk.
