    Jabari is also playing against second units, while JG is playing against the oppositions best defenders.

    I haven’t loved seeing so many isos from Grant but he’s our best player remaining, so he’s gonna get a lot of opportunities, and he’s going to have off shooting nights. Grant had a chance to be “the guy” in Detroit and it didn’t really work out, for him or them, which is why a trade to Portland was better for him (at the time).

    The lack of rebounding is definitely something to be concerned about, though.

    I’m bummed they moved Joe Freeman off the Blazers beat (because he was definitely better than Fentress) but as a Beaver baseball fan glad he covers them as part of his beat.

    I’m still pissed at the Oregonian for pulling Freeman off the Rip City Report. I thought Joe and Casey Holdahl had a really nice rapport. While I still listen to and enjoy the successor podcast, the Blazers Balcony, I wish the RCR was still around. With Joe an Oregonian reporter and Casey a team employee, I thought there was a nice mix of homerism and realism. But now that it’s Casey and Brooke O. (who I love, but I think she’s a bit too positive all the time), two team employees, I think it has a lost just a little something.
