This is the Clingan I want to be seeing. More fire. More aggression. Silver lining. Deni was great and Grant was very good too.
Hansen needs much more pep in his step. He seems pretty far away still though I suppose better than weeks ago. We'd be feasting right now if we had Queen or Coward with all the injuries we've had.
All I can do is just laugh, Blazers lost to a buzzer beater against the Magic and now Blazers lost to a buzzer beater against a former Magic player, it is really ironic

The other ... got cut by Presti and no one even picked him up on a two-way contract for a reason.
That gets a little off the point, though. There's nothing comparable about Giddey and Dillon Jones. Giddey was the sixth pick as an 18-19-year-old for a reason and was producing as a teenage rookie for a reason. Dillon Jones was a late first-round pick after four years of college for a reason. Jones is older than Giddey right now and hasn't accomplished anything in the NBA yet.
People keep wanting to reinvent Dillon Jones or create a myth of Dillon Jones. I'd love it if Dillon Jones turned out to be a steal for the Blazers, but acting like he'd be some savior or that he'd be an improvement over Cissoko, Love and Rupert ... there just isn't any reason to think that right now. He averaged more than 10 minutes per game in more than 50 games wih the NBA champ. It's not like he's a complete unknown.
