Cade brought up the ball more than usual... Let Ausar and Schroder (who should play more with Cade) bring it up to give Cade a 47 feet break.

Same here! Hope they are a bit more motivated since they just missed winning yesterday...

Fully expect the Trailblazers to fall tonight!

George Blaha is the nicest guy ever. (Just posed for a picture with me and my daughter)

Blazers have been playing excellent ball lately. Let's see how the young Pistons bounce back after losing two in a row.

Tired legs, or determined.

This is no easy win. The Blazers have come together pretty well for months now. Camara is a menace on defense at around Ausar’s level. Clingan can be worn out but is huge. Simons can score, Scoot is improving, and Sharpe will posterize you. Avdija is an all-around good player and glue guy.

Hoping for a good game.

Welp, I guess they look determined. Damn. Single coverage on Cade=possible 40, or even 50 bomb.

I guarantee the coverage on Cade changes reeeeeeal quick here.

Jerami wants revenge . . .

Lets hope Tek and Beasley have better games tonight. Not looking that great for Beasley so far(missed bunny/horrendous turnover/missed three).

Team doesn't need a ton, but competency would go a long way.

I would love to see Duren finish through contact at the rim one of these games.

The season has been great, no question, but I'm starting to see a problem with Bickerstaff, and his rotations. Flexibility is a huge part of proper rotations, and its something both Casey, and Monty were horrendous at. Bickerstaff though, seems to go through lulls wherein his brain just...stops working.

If the squad is playing well, especially the bench, he just leaves them out there until they start to falter. He has been icing Cade when he's on a heater.

He absolutely has to fix this. Its getting egregious. Tonights game is a perfect example. When bench had an 8-point lead, and they started to slow down, thats when starters needed to come back, and bury the opposing team. He waited too long, again. He did it last night as well.

Just something I've noticed.

It sucks to have lost our last two, but Indy has also lost their last two and the Bucks are about to lose to the Cavs to make it two losses in a row for them as well... the #3 seed Knicks have actually lost 3 in a row as well... plus we're still a full 5 games ahead of the Hawks now for the 6th seed. Overall great shape if we can pull out the win tonight.

Honestly I think the blazers have one of the 5 or 6 worst rosters in the league and it's incredible chauncey has them at 28 wins. This is the type of game you have to win if you're serious about doing anything in this league.

breezypeezy · Post #17 » by **breezypeezy** » Mon Mar 10, 2025 2:25 am

Clingan may be big but we are decisively ahead again with points in the paint and fast break points. Liking the odds here.

Think about how devastating the Cade+Duren attack is right now, (Cade 23/Duren 21) and how that sucker will look 2 years from now.

In traffic, tight quarters, fastbreak/halfcourt, doesn't matter. Its electrifying
