Upcoming headlines.

After jettisoning most their known talent, the resurgent Blazers make the play-in.

Shocking the NBA, the Blazers going to the Finals.

Who are these guys and can they repeat next year. Blazers win Championship!

That lineup beat LA, but didn't go undefeated in summer league. Crazy.

I was cracking up when a lineup of Smith-Elleby-Blevins-Brown-Watford won the first 5 minutes of the 4th Q and built a 7 point lead. Laker mystique my ass

* Simons is better as a scoring guard than a play-making guard. His floor game is quite a bit better when he's searching for his own offense than when he's running the team. I still question how Dame & Ant will sync, but there's a chance it will be better than Dame/CJ. Hart may be a good 3rd guard in that rotation

* I was skeptical about Winslow, but I think he might be an effective 7th or 8th man in a rotation. He's a solid ball-handler and passer, just not a shooter. But perhaps more important is he's a physical perimeter defender against guys like Lebron and Kawhi. Greg Brown is showing some upside as well

* I haven't watched much of the Lakers but my god they have shitty ball security. 21 turnovers and Westbrook didn't play. DSJ was a real ball hawk around Laker carelessness

DSJ and Simons together, made it hard to key on Simons on defense, because DSJ was looking for other players as well as Simons. And DSJ could be tenacious on their PG.

I was thinking that during the game. If you are in the NBA you're a great basketball player. Play with heart and joy and anything can happen.
 
happy to show the new guys our vibes. this season has been such a downer that i was scared we'd build losing habits. need a win every once in a while to recalibrate.
 
Mega trade tomorrow. Then Dame comes back.

Dame/Hart/Winslow/LeBron/Nurk

win title this year
