Remember how Paul George called himself "Playoff P" and then sucked in the playoffs? Well... Norman Powell would love to become a Trail Blazers ‘Big Shot’ in the postseason I think it's nice of Norman to prepare us for him disappearing in free agency by disappearing now.
Didn't know it was his B'day today. Maybe should've held off trashing him. I'm sure this will ruin his big day.
yet, for the two games, he's shooting 40% on FG's and 14% on three's; only 1.5 reb/game too. Does have a tough defensive assignment but that's the life of a 6'3 SF
Unlike Paul George.....Norm has a championship ring and has only played half a season with this playoff roster.
He talked in an interview last night about trying to create more opportunities. That might be out of frustration because I don't know how many times he is missed when he is wide open. Our ball movement is just not that great.
Ball movement in my view comes when teams play with a lead and can use clock....when you're down 10 all game you're trying to close the gap in as little time as possible..you're looking to put up quick points
Norm is a smallish SG but still is great at that position, especially defensively. We've thrust him into the SF position where he is most definitely undersized, against a big wing and he's holding his own. We don't give the guy enough shots to consider the sample size large enough to judge after two games. So, I would love it if Norm was playing CJ's position, with CJ's shot attempts and CJ's defensive assignment but that's not the direction the team has decided to go in... yet.
