Always a great day when the Blazers win, even sweeter when it’s against the L*kers.

Ayton scored 29 in the game earlier this year in Portland when their scrubs beat our fully healthy team.

We haven’t been fully healthy this year

We haven’t been fully healthy this year

Definitely not "fully healthy."

In that game vs the Lakers on November 3rd, there was no:
Blake Wesley (played 20 minutes in 20 point victory over Golden State with 2 steals)
Matisse Thybulle (played 15 minutes, shot 3-3/ 2-2 from three from the field and had 3 steals vs Golden State)
Scoot Henderson
Damian Lillard

Matisse Thybulle in his 4 games played was shooting 66.7% on threes and averaged 2.5 steals a game.

Thybulle and Wesley still lead the team in Steals Per Game even though they only averaged 12.3 and 16.3 minutes per game respectively, compared to 30 minutes per game for the next two players leading in steals.

Tangentially, Shaedon realizing that if he can steal the ball he gets to dunk the ball has been a boon for us
