    it will be interesting to see how much this one game moves Portland's net rating. Prior to this game:

    upload_2021-10-27_23-18-39.png

    Blazers ranked 19th at -1.3

    I'd think they will be well into + tomorrow

    Dame is still cold, but he played some real good defense tonight

    After this game, they should be +4.0. It will place them somewhere between ~10-15. This early in the season, a single game has a huge impact.

    After game 4, per 100 possessions Blazers this season vs last year;

    10th in net rating (+3.8) vs 12th (+1.8)
    9th in offense (109.6) vs 2nd (117.8)
    15th in defense (105.8) vs 29th (116.0)

    Been ecstatic with the defense thus far!

    CJ has always had a knack getting his hands on balls and a block here and there. IMO, he's best at getting into passing lanes when he wants too.

    92 points allowed is very encouraging.

    After 5:

    PPG 113.6 - 4th in WC
    PPGA 106.6 - 6th in WC
    +7 - 2nd in WC
