Bayless seems to be growing into JJ's role.

Hope he outgrows it just as quickly.

Ugh, why don't you go S Sergio's D some more?

It seems you are growing into Mixum's role...

Maybe you... nah.

if jack had 1/2 the intensity bayless does on defense he'd probably still be here.

I wanted to bring up something I have noticed:

Since Steve Blake is out of the lineup, the problem the Blazers had with slow starts seems to have dissappeared.

The one game he came back, the Blazers struggled to score in the first quarter.

Is he too cautious? Is he not agressive enough? Is it coincidence?

 

[STOMP]

Key word is similar.

My point is just that anything can happen.

even injuries, like last year. Heres guessing if they'd stayed healthy they wouldn't have fallen off. That they're deeper this year and their young talent is a year older is serving them well.

I'd look at the competition we've faced; not exactly a "whose who" of contenders and elite defensive squads. If the hot starts keep up, or the Blazers struggle to get it going with Steve back in the lineup when healthy then I think you might have to take another look, but for now I'd call it coincidence.

Well the Blazers did face Cleveland during that time, and they are not defensive slouches.

It is Sergio.
