It’s not only October, that was just game one.
-
They looked like a team of YVNG BLVVDZ who met each other yesterday playing against a team starting three HOFers. Not a terribly shocking result.
-
The Blazers are not playing to win now in any way shape or form, nor should they. They played a rookie by far the most minutes which is really all you need to know about priorities (development > wins).
-
The main two things the Blazers are likely angling for this season (outside of player development) are a high lottery pick and trading away at least two players around the deadline for assets.
-
Most games won’t look that bad. Are there any teams with less combined NBA experience AND experience with each other out there? It’ll take months for this team to find anything that truly resembles a “rhythm” on a regular basis.

Where all the xCHILLxFOLKx at who just wanna see some local hoops and don’t care much about W/L this year??
Sharpe looks poised to take a leap this year, he was way more under control and is deadly when he’s attacking downhill. Also his passing is very underrated.
Think he is at the point where he can actively pick on weaker defenders. They tried to hide Bones Hyland on him and Sharpe was able to go at him. Then when Kawhi was on Sharpe and we had enough spacing to clear out, Sharpe ran a beautiful PnR with Rob for an And1 dunk. It was a very high level read and I can’t wait to see more of Sharpe this season.
