If he's so bad that Year 3 doesn't happen than obviously it was a Bust of a pick.

I think one of the real stories through 4 games is the efficient shooting and scoring for Grant and the ability to trade him and get away from his contract for an expiring contract, especially if they can solve the Chicago pick problem in the process.

Tiago should be a good HC for Donovan and he's had a good start to Year 2 so far.

They activated RW3 so my guess is that if Clingan gets in Foul Trouble we aren't seeing Yang on Jokic tonight.

Playing small ball is their best lineup so we'll see how many minutes he can go at the 5.

Their defense is going to keep them in a lot of games but the offensive output by the four guys who can create - Deni, Shaedon, Jrue and Jerami - will determine how far they go. Those four shot a combined 43% from the floor and had 18 assists tonight.

As mentioned before, the lack of offensive firepower is the clear weakness of the team but they generally hustle their asses off and are fun defensively.

when u change the rules so much so that the historical records can never be compared to the current statistics, then u lose all interest.

box scores of 145-127 are dumb. they've basically created a new NBA starting in 2020....everything before that is a diffrent league.

This wouldn’t work in LA, NY, or other major metro areas. But being the only game in town, they succeeded. And they may succeed for many more seasons. Presti is a genius. Portland, being a smaller market, should have followed that mindset.
