OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: OCTOBER 2023

Be it as it may, there are still questions about work ethic and interest, the same questions that are asked about Simmons - until these questions are answered, probably makes sense to limit the number of players you have these questions about on the same team

 

The Toronto Raptors NEW Plan Is Confusing...

Another team impacted by the Damian Lillard trade.

Damian Lillard says he was pranked by OG Anunoby into thinking he was traded to the Toronto Raptors

 

He still looks like the fraction of the athlete he was a few years ago but he looks to be more confident.

Good to see.

 

Lillard is gone. The Nets won't throw in picks to get rid of Ben Simmons. Trading current Blazers straight up for Simmons overblown contract won't help. Ben is Brooklyn's financial problem, I say let the Nets eat crow.

 

I see Toronto losing OG for nothing because that GM is a fool. Once he realizes OG is leaving, he won't get near what he could have over the summer. OG will get a max deal, possibly from Portland if he is available.

 

I dare you to post that on Blazers Edge.

There's a ZC cult over there just waiting to ravage anyone who thinks lottery bust Blazers were not the best idea in the history of the NBA.

PORTLAND HAS ALWAYS MADE THE VERY BEST DECISIONS IN THE DRAFT.

even Sam Bowie had a much coveted dynamic skillset which far exceeded Michael Jordan.

 

I thought Zach looked fine or even more then that after the first half of the first.

Chet is a special player.

 

That's what happens when the focal point of the team is a very poor defender. That's no longer the case, so I expect different results going forward.

 

you can come back here and make fun of me if portland isn't 17th-30th in defense this year.

 

Both players played very good last night but here the thing number 1 preseason game and number 2 there not know film on either one against NBA players. I think both will be successful due they both got skills. I think players going to try to body up on both players when they got ball on the outside due there dangerous when there space to put the ball on the floor so don't be surprised if you see defenders start doing that to both players.

 

Zach will be find due he is stronger now then he was last year. Yes Holgrem had good night against him and the spin move caught Zach off guard but I see Zach have better performance against him next meeting. Zach offense 15 points 5 rebounds but the way the teams shots not a lot rebounds to get but 5 assists and some was some pretty assists and just 1 turnover. Offensely he was fine 1-4 not good on 3 point shot but that will come around pretty soon because 3-4 in there scrimmage the other day.

 

I'd rather keep Grant & Ant, ignore them playing the league's worst defense. Then bench them for maximum ping pong balls after the All-star break. It works. The #3 pick Scoot Henderson is a significant achievement.

 

China is obviously a bigger country than France. I don’t understand the comparison.

 

He’s Iverson but 7’4”

 

Brandon Miller is just going thru the motions.

 

I'll take Ayton and the "questions" about him 365 days a year over our last center.

 

I don’t know why but I really get off on the schadenfreude of a fanbase lamenting their pick for a guy that we ended up with.

I want Scoot to light it up tonight.

 

You are not the only one, but you are changing the subject we were discussing
