Jaylen Brown got tossed by a ref for complaining. The official was 60 feet away on the other side of the court, and JB was about to sit down. That's some Sheed level technical b.s. right there.

Brown’s usually mild mannered too
 
Didn't realize that Blazers are the worst 3pt shooting team in the NBA as of now.

after last night they are 28th. Crazy thing is they lead the league in opponent's 3ptFG%. They also lead the league in opponent turnovers (but rank 27th on their own turnovers)

another crazy set of numbers: Portland is 8th in the NBA in offensive rebounds a game and 10th in offensive rebound rate. But they are dead last, 30th, in defensive rebounds/game and 28th in defensive rebounding rate

Blazers are also dead last in TS%; 25th in FT Rate; and 27th in Turnover Rate

Blazers are currently -6.9 in net rating and that's usually a pretty solid predictor of wins/losses. That Pythagorean calculation would end up with Portland winning 23-24 games, if that rating remains about the same. Right now, the same math says the Spurs will win 15-16 games

Portland is bottom, or near bottom in several team stats. Portland is kinda in the middle in a few other categories. Portland is a league leader in 1 category. STEALS. The Blazers jump passing lanes, and apply good perimeter pressure. Blazers tenacious D has allowed the team to go on runs and win a handful of games.

Would like to see the internal numbers on offensive rebounds and shot attempts exempt of tip ins with a low probability. The team does not count either, just like three point heaves at the end of the half/game.

Interesting that we are leading the league in steals.

I sense an even bigger Pritch-slap. Rescuing Boston from Jaylen Brown's mega-max might be on the table.

That would actually be genius of Indy to swing low imo. He’s not going to be overly expensive, and he’ll likely return to being a 26-28ppg guy as #1 scoring option in Indy. Even if his improvements at this point are minor, the Pacers looks like they won’t be near the top to ever find another AS anyways, so they should swing low on an All NBA guy already who still might improve.

Mathurin, Toppin, Hield, filler, the ‘24 OKC 1st, two future 1sts, the ‘27 UTA and ‘28 DAL 2nds is already a competitive package, which Indy should do 10/10 times.
 
So when did the blazers make a change in head trainers?

Beginning of October. Before preseason. Brought in Weaver from the The Women's basketball league.
Edit- Courtney Watson. I had to look up the name.

On a separate note to that i think Geoff Clark has the most important role for draft prospects. He's like the scouting medical advisor or some title like that. He looks at prospective players and evaluates their health. To avoid GP2 messes.
 
I did see the blonde gal that used to ride the bench sitting behind Dame during his first Milwaukee game?
