We didn't want to go back to LA unless it's for the Western Conference final. So, you know, just want to get it done, you know, being down 9 points coming out of that. We knew we wanted to do it quick. You know, we didn't want to wait until the fourth quarter and try to fight uphill battle. The clippers led by Norman Powell's 27 points made things interesting by nearly coming back from a 20 point deficit early in the fourth quarter. George Tanner Phoenix

"For a week. Set him to Utah. There's always this team during the last like 25, 30 games of the year. There's like the young team. That becomes like the everyone's all in. Oh, that team has a pretty new Orleans. Right, yeah. Kosi had the bright future sons that year, then they did the bubble and then we just seen this before. It really does feel like it's going to be Orlando. And then you go to the summer. Where they have the Chicago pick, they're going to have their own pick. They're going to have cap space. They have foundational guys. And I feel like they're going to be leading the most podcasts out of any non contender. Like in that June, July, August range. It would be just a lot of Orlando. It's a really smiling right now because the list ice cream. It's a nervous energy though, because they'll find a way to screw this up. I just know it. They're going to have cap space this summer, the things I don't know who you even go after. There's been talking Chris Middleton, I don't know. What they need is they need a guy and they need a two guard who can make shots. Like if they can just somehow get like Norman Powell on their team or somebody like that or like a buddy, a better buddy healed or somebody like that because they don't really need Bradley Beal. I was going to say Bill. You got the assets. Yeah. You got this stuff. Bill was like last year. You guys should go in for Mitchell. I still feel I think you should have done it. Mitchell would have been you would have been like a succeed. Would we be the cat we would be that the Cavs? I just think the timelines are a little bit off. I think Cleveland was a little bit more ready. I don't think we're still a couple years away from that. And I'm okay with that. The question is, I didn't want to trade for van vliet. What are you giving up assets for that? Would I take them on my team sure? I'd take them on the magic tomorrow. I'm a perfect fit. Yes, Adam is off season if you want to, but I don't know. I've been hurt too many times in the past that. Like when you gave out the over, I think you were still Ann house. All gave out the over. We'd love to hear. I was like, it's a 100% under. Like, it's a 100%. This is what's gonna happen. And then they started 5 and 20, and I'm like, there you go. But no, like I said, the vibes are the vibes are all good. I don't know if you've seen this guys, but the magic, I think it's habers show who tracks who gets the worst officiated games of any team. Oh my God, this is down to the magic. They actually have the most rookie refs that have read their games this year. Man, come on. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, like, show us some respect next year. The record would probably be better if we had some better officiating. Stephen, what would JJ sound like if he was doing an Orlando local sports pod?

Irving scores 24 in Dallas debut, leads Mavs over Clippers
"In his first game with his new team Kyrie Irving scored 24 points to help lead the Mavericks past the clippers one ten to one O four. I just felt good to get this debut out of the way. For the first time I ever got traded in the middle of the season. So it was new for me. But I'm excited that I'm here and I just keep things rolling now.

"The clippers are at a 191 million right now. They have a $106 million for non Kawhi non PG players. Those guys pick 85 and the rest of the roster makes one O 6. They're not even done yet. I just wanted to point that out. Normally when you're just collecting assets and putting them at some point, there's an asset kind of cap and I feel like they're close. I didn't understand the John wall thing. For them. I understood it for certain teams, but John wall Luke canard and Reggie Jackson seems excessive to me. Everybody's a great sign and great sign. It's like, well, he's played barely anything in four years. And now that's another ego, you know, that you have to fit in, see if he'll be happy. On the clippers, there's going to be some games where you don't play. It's going to be happy. Is he better than Luke canard? If Luke prenatal health, they probably not. It's just a different player. He's just a, you know, I like it and if Ballmer who doesn't seem to care about any of the expenses or at least doesn't, I don't know, maybe he'll bring it up later on if they're 500, 40 games into the season. But it's crazy how many 8 figure guys they have where you're like, wait, why does that guy make? Like Norman Powell, again, that's not even a bad number for somebody who can score like him, but Marcus Morris is still he's still like 34 million next two years. Canard still a pretty hefty number Covington's 23 24 million. I think that second year though, anyway, I don't know. I'm not going to keep that long enough. I regret the segment. And then the last team just Philly, who you seem to like more than I do because I just don't trust the hardened thing at all. The PJ Tucker thing, they really sold their souls two years from now for one year of PJ Tucker because I can't imagine it's going to be able to play when he's 40. I really like Melton, I thought that was smart. And in general, they have the a better type of team. It seems like they're going to try to trade for Eric Gordon. But just the hard and piece of it, I'm not going to be able to get past unless.

"The guys that are ahead of him got any guesses? Is grant Williams still ahead? He is not. He's at number four. I knew his point. .4 behind PJ Tucker. It's a guy who just had a game winner from three. That banked in. His dog McDermott's still one of them. Nope. Oh man, he must have slipped too. I don't know. The bank didn't game winner from three. I know I should know this because I remember watching it. Bank didn't game winner from three in a game that Julius Randle got ejected in. I don't. Oh. No, just give it to me because I can't get the name of it. It's okay. You've got a wealth of basketball knowledge stored up there. I understand, sometimes it gets jumbled up there. But camera Johnson is number two. Cameron Johnson number two, 45. Top guy is Luke canard. After he went on a day to go, you got it. I over the last couple years. You got it. That was just getting number one. That was impressive because a lot of people forget about Luke canard coming off the bench for the clippers and everything. I thought that was the one you weren't going to get was number one. Was lucrative. Yeah, he went on a tear over the last couple of weeks, I think. He's really moved up. How about grant Williams though forth? That's pretty good. Oh yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. I've got Lakers fans telling me like, hey, you know, whatever grant Williams has been doing. Let's get somebody to do that. Yeah, he shot shot 49% from three in the month of February, grant Williams did. And he's at 40% so far in March. Crazy. Yeah, so I pulled up Luke canard while you were you were talking there. This is just since the I'm gonna go one game before the all star break. You want 8 of 9 from three 5 of 8. And he had a couple tough ones, one to 7. Well, one of three is not tough. And three for four, three for 5, three, three, 8, and four for 7. So yeah, you know, have yourself a run here, Luke is the shooting. He's a 52% in February and 52% in March. Wow. Yeah. That's crazy. This is probably his best year. Considering a couple of years ago for the pistons, he scored more points, but it was only over 28 games. And he started a bunch and played a lot more minutes. He played 5 more minutes per game. So I mean, I know we say this a lot, but deploy that clipper scene looks like they could be really good next season. They certainly do. Healthy Norman Powell, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George. That could be very good..

"Maybe that's what's maybe that's what's maybe. It's Jared Dudley not being there. That's the one. I said any chance the Lakers can get kenrich Williams or a Ken rich Williams type player for a second rounder. So the Oklahoma City Thunder have said we want to first, not a surprise. Not as for every team right now once, oh, you want our player? First round pick, right? The rockets. They won a first for Eric Gordon. The pacers just got a first for Karis levert. Every team wants a first for their guy except for apparently the Portland trailblazers. By the way, how on earth did caris levert just get more in a trade than Robert Covington and Norman Powell? Did you see what Norman Powell did, by the way for the clippers, the clippers lost tonight to the bucks. Yeah. Off the bench in like 23 minutes. And the pacers just got more for caris levert than like a lot significantly more. Than what the clippers paid for Norman Powell pacers, you are doing or blazers, you are doing this wrong. The decision to rebuild is, okay, that's fine. And I'm not saying they're fully rebuilding because they've got Damien Lillard. They're trying to free up space. Maybe this turns into something. But my goodness. I tried to look at all the angles, right? And I can see, all right. All right, maybe they're going to be able to get this. Get this figured out. Maybe they're going to free up space. It's going to make them able to do some things in the off season. Okay, maybe this works out. Maybe. Maybe. But just in terms of value, it's really tough to see what they were thinking with that trade. Anyway, that is completely off topic. But Ken rich Williams right now, Oklahoma City Thunder, they want a first. Every team wants a first at the trade deadline. Except for blazers..

"Now all of a sudden you're positioned very differently than you may have been otherwise. So I think even if Damian Lillard is locked in and is not moving at all, his injury could still have wide ranging implications for the trailblazers future. Absolutely. Absolutely. And I think that looking at the standings and just looking at how I've used this phrase before, but how joyless this season has been for the blazers. They are not having a good time out there on the basketball floor. That may, as painful as it is in the moment, that may be the best path forward for them is to go ahead, bottom this thing out, start off next season with hopefully a healthy Damian Lillard and some fresh assets coming in, whether it's from the draft, whether you make a trade with whatever you get, you can sort of retool things this off season and just wash your hands of whatever this season has been for because right now I mean, you're not even in the play and you're sitting in 12th in the Western Conference right now. Your point differential is a -4.2. It's not looking good. It's not looking good for the blazers. They could make a push to get into the plan. But for what purpose? Does that get you to the ultimate goal of getting yourself firmly back in the playoffs and being a title contender? I don't think so. I think the alternate path is probably your best chance at getting there. Yeah, it's a long way from screen, but I think they've got some chunky lemon milk in Portland, too. And I think there's you can either stand pat, but that is the path that would 100% not take. If I was poorly. You can go down the path of, hey, we're going to try to upgrade right now for wind now pieces around Damian Lillard. Well, then you have to be sure he's coming back from injury. And even then you got to look at it and win now what went into the plane. I mean, they are 5 full games behind your Lakers who are now in the 6th seed in that last assured playoff spot in the west. I mean, that's a lot of games to make up. Half a season. So then your other two options are like you laid out that kind of soft bottom out where you're really kind of going to retool on the fly quickly. Almost like what the warriors did with stuff. Yeah, we're going to bottom it out for a couple years and try to get back at this. Or your other path, which I can argue just strongly for us, fully tear this thing down to the studs, trade trade everything you can, including Lillard McCollum, Covington, nurkic dance, even Norman Powell, and if I'm left with Anthony simons and to see her little and a whole bunch of whatever I got in the trade, so be it and that's how we move this thing forward. I think it's probably just given Damon loads importance to the franchise and his reluctance to say he wants to be anywhere else. Or lack complete lack of desire to be anywhere else. It's probably that soft bottle, reset kind of deal, but yeah, let's see where they go, but if we get news here in the next week or two, that aims out longer than what we thought or maybe even out for the season, then it's really time to have some conversations about the blazers. Yeah, I agree, though I don't think to stick with the office..

"Like this was a team in need of big change this summer and look like you're not gonna find someone who's a bigger fan of Larry Nance than I am. I am just an enormous fan of the way that he moves the ball. Of the way that he defends. He flies around in hell. He's really, really good on the ball on like four different positions, right? I think the Larry Nance is a winning player, and I generally understood why you go after him, but I think this team needed more structural, bigger changes than that. And then on top of it, like, again, I like Norman Powell. I think Norman Powell's much better suited defensively at the two than he is three. So you're playing small across the back line, you have Larry Nance coming off the bench playing 17 minutes a night..

"I think they're in that middle tier with upward mobility. Where you know. Maybe look at the clippers. You outline their middle cheer team. That may be has downward mobility. So that's kind of where they they fall for me. So yeah definitely so one thing we've even hit on that i think is probably the most important part of the blazers offseason is that they brought. Norman powell back I know a lot of people didn't like the deal. I don't really. I don't really love quibbling over money. Like i guess you can in some sense. Say that norm powell overpaid. I don't really necessarily agree. Like i think that's that's close to market value of what he would have gotten on and he was fantastic last year. I i get like you can look at it and say well you normally has up here and then down. You're like that has has been his career trajectory. But i think you really stabilize last year and improved in some ways especially offense figuring out his efficiency more. I will get him as the one guy who can really attack the basket on this team especially in the starting lineup. Dame's obviously great getting there and and creates havoc from there but in terms of a guy who you're you're counting gets to the rim and be incredibly good they're like norma's achaia especially coming off. Second side actions. I know to a lot of people who didn't watch portland down the stretch and didn't check in on some of the line of numbers and just knowing what was going on with the team. Like you look at other really funky regard lineup but it works like it was very good when mark was healthy against every single team for the most part. So how are you feeling about norm this year. Is there anything that you're kind of hoping to see or that. You think might be different from last year. Well i think first and foremost as far as the deal goes like if they didn't stein norm you're instantly taking a giant step zappers to start your off season as far as the deal goes. It's backloaded so they were able to really add a little more flexibility. The starter free agency. Yes they didn't maximize it but it did keep them out of hell when they're looking for a three point three team trade and all that other stuff Like you said. I think the three guard lineup. Yes it does look weird on paper but you have to remember norm. Powell has close to a seven foot. Wingspan six ten or something. He did a really good job. Frustrating michael porter junior in the postseason. He didn't look completely out of place against some of these bigger small forwards. So i think it's very important when you talk about. You know what he's able to do from that corner position because one thing that we've heard chauncey billups say over and over again when he is going over game tape like the clippers. Had this really excellent film series. That came out last year. Which i watched everyone that bills's involved with and he really talks about you know creating advantage by you know really making putting pressure on the back line of defenses. So you know you're gonna see nurk in those roles where he's gonna turn or larry nance junior and they're looking for that guy diving into the dunker spotlight said side. Actions and norm is excellent. Getting the ball quick in that situation and instantly making a decision and ninety nine percent of the time..

"Well i don't. I don't know i just think the blazers like it's all on ila shea and He seems to like be have enjoyed job security. Which i don't understand. I dunno like it. It seems like paul and died. And there's a power vacuum and he just felt it you know because he should have been fired usually go like i know we were always saying people should be fired but the thing what portland is like. They just haven't got it. Anyone naked soaked his way out of denver and they got a very good player for free with a pig that they blew but two thousand sixteen seventeen draft like twenty seventeen draft. They had like three picks and they got like that collins and like it's very possible to seem coulda had like. Oh gee and john collins and they do they're probably find like an assist they don't have talent and like Is very very good at basketball. But he's also surly undisciplined and you can't have followed a games like he's been doing and i mean i don't want to criticize them but he's he's naked so he's never going to be someone who's like ultra liable and they depend on him so and i don't know i just it's very strange like you know how dame has kind of operated you know speaking kris haines like They're just kinda stuck. And i think that you know they've clung cj and all that and it's like if you don't drop while you have to get lucky and they'd haven't really done that. But i do think that. Nance net covington dennis smith. They can be a little bit better on defense and w maintain but they're pricilla. I run out. So like even the norman powell thing like they're gonna pay three six two guards like ninety million dollars. You can't do that and that's what they are on track to do so. He's a good player but it's like they're locked it. They painted themselves into a corner in in yellow way. They could get out as with a traitor. You know the team gets blown up so but Yeah i just kind of feels weird with carlisle and go out and start to as an assistant that twenty seven team like end of an error because portland has been very stable in. Terry stotts was a big part of that. He got fired. So yeah it's like let's. Let's blame the coach. And i don't think he was a problem. Because you have kanter mellow and anthony simon's and you know on the bench in this like you know no wonder they struggled offensively..

"Really improved his shooter over the last few years to the point where I feel pretty good about him knocking down 35% of his spot threes. So this is a deal that makes a lot of sense for the Portland trailblazers. I actually think that it doesn't totally reshape their team, but it fills multiple holes in a way that the off season prior to this acquisition just did not. I would be terrified if I was the Portland trailblazers prior to this Larry dance deal of going into a season with just use of nurkic and Cody zeller as my bigs. And Larry Nance is not an enormous big man by any stretch. And I think that if one of Yusuf nurkic or Cody zeller gets hurt, the blazers are probably gonna have to sign a true center in order to counteract that. The problem for Portland here is that that true center is something that is important in their scheme. So to have only gone into this off season prior to this deal having Cody zeller and Yusuf nurkic on the roster. I think was kind of a strange move given their injury histories. it, on the wing, they really only went out and got Tony Snell, and I know that Tony Snell had a great year last season shooting the ball. I think he went 50 50 like 95 or something like that from the free throw line because of limited attempts. But he's a very limited player. He's a decent three and D guy. He probably will be able to be their 8th man, but this is a team that even with Larry Nance, I think is still ripe for a shake up in some regard. The team is now given Norman Powell this 5 year $90 million deal in addition to the enormous deals given out the Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. And I don't know that we know if those three can play together on a playoff court, quite yet. While Norman Powell is extremely long and has a 7 foot wingspan and his strong for his size, Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum and Norman Powell across the front line or across the backcourt seems like a way for teams to get their bigger shot making wings in the playoffs matched up on to smaller players that they can take advantage of. Now, what acquiring Larry Nance does is it allows you to counteract that by taking one of Lillard McCollum, Powell off the court and in this case it would probably be Powell. It also counteracts for potential injuries, which CJ McCollum only played about 50 games last year. So I think that being able to play a more traditional lineup because you have Larry Nance now that can play the four. Is specifically helpful..

"You just put them. If you had a computer simulate them on the next. I just don't feel like it makes really any difference. So i don't why am i paying six times as much for zoa. Don't get it not to mention. He's never healthy. He's been healthy couple years in a row. Now i mean so. Hopefully you know for them. Stay to relatively relatively healthy last year. But he wasn't like one hundred percent healthy. Yeah i've been nixon. I don't have a knicks fan in my who is like man. We gotta get noelle back adjust. I don't care what happens off season as long as we get oil back. Nobody said that. I don't love it for the contract value. That's why had him on my list to solid big but ten million annually. It seems to me like that's more like somebody that you're signing for that dollar amount with the hopes of a year or a couple of months or maybe two years of using that player in a trade same thing forty. That's why i couldn't have a on this list. Because even though he's making a lot of money and he too much for his caliber of player the knicks are making some of these moves so they have tradeable deals in the ten or twenty million dollar range easy to put them together like puzzle pieces to get something bigger. Do we think there's a team option for year. Three for these deals because another one that was on my list was derrick rose for forty three million for three years. I thought that was stupefying. He showed last year. He was really good for them. But there's a specific minute number that he can play right. He's he can played twenty five twenty six minutes a game as soon as they up that number in the atlanta series because they had to he completely apart so he's twelve minutes a half. Maybe ten minutes i half fifty minutes second-half but as a lot of miles on it. He's a two thousand eight draft guy. He's had multiple surgeries. and that was just. I don't know who they were competing against with that. Who else was giving him. Forty three million dollars. I thought that was bizarre. Maybe chicago i mean if they wanted to have a homecoming But i had. I hadn't heard anything clear other than the knicks for derrick rose. Very strange i the foreign the four nature Signing was not on my list. But i was a little better. I don't i would have been mad at. The celtics did that. But i could understand. Why the knicks data right. They needed some sort of perimeter guy. Who could handle and move the ball and create his own shot at least a little bit because last year. They just had to many of the bullock types. But they didn't have that one guy who could at least like if a play broke down seven seconds left in a shack could try to create something which is something he can do. And i think with the celtics just never saw him you know he got cove it immediately and we just never right for them. He's fine. i think it's a it's a tiny bit pricey for him. But that one didn't make gas the way the noel contract and even the rose contracted Who do you have least favorite. What's your next devante graham. Four years forty seven million dollars at the pelicans and a sign and trade. I mean they had to give a pick up to get him Hornets fans couldn't stand him at certain points last season. Not just because he was playing ahead lamelo ball but because he's a six foot guard who wasn't getting stops on defense can't score inside the arc. He's a good not great three point shooter and it just feels to me just like an option c. For the pelicans assign him. And i mean he's not a bad player by any means but The ingram and that roster need better the point guard position than what devante graham can provide. So that's one of my least favorites. Well the one that pushes out went over. The top is that they gave protected. I top of it. That's protected i for lonzo. I'm with you. i didn't like that one either. My my next one. Was norman powell. Portland brought him back. Ninety million for five. Oh you didn't like that one Ninety billion dollars. Norman powell now. I did not dollars dollars to sure come on. Robertson duncan robinson. There's room for him to keep getting better like a young guy who i could see. There's some sort of arc within. Norman powell kind of is what he is and they brought him last year and made no no difference at all and they got bounced in the playoffs. So they're doubling down on that. Now i i just who's paying him they. It all goes back to me and it's like who are you. Competing against for ninety million five years from norman. Powell seems panic at really pretty sure. The knicks ma. Maybe some other teams for after i mean. He's only twenty twenty-eight next year not like he's thirty two. I'm not saying he'll get dramatically better but he's a good shooter in any attack. Closeouts do a little bit off the dribble for you. Good defensive player. i don't i don't mind it necessarily eighteen million dollars annual as and isn't that bad and also i mean like who you bidding against but what other option do you have. If you're the blazers. Just let them walk. After you gave up gary transform and you know bring back a rodney hood. I don't know. I i don't you have gary trent at three hundred fifty four. Or how for ninety. Five powell i'll lean slightly because of the defense factor and because You look at what portland's doing it's pretty clear to me that they're building up a stable of wings and guards which is gonna make cj mccollum way more expendable. My thing is. i'm not going eighteen million and up an anybody. Unless i think they can be an actual difference maker. I think with these teams get in trouble..

"Norman powell you're right because pow had them over a barrel because of what they traded to go and get him and now the question becomes will they run it back with some fringy tight moves. You know there's going to be a lot of guys out there. You know the the music stops and the money's gone there'll be signing cheaper deals that can certainly help but the place kind of did that. The last couple of years with some of the moves they made in previous off seasons. And i don't know what difference makers are going to be out there like they clearly want to get better on the defensive end. That's important so maybe you try to find some defensive-minded guys that are out there. You can plug in at wing positions but to me. It's either you trade. Cj mccollum for something substantial. Or you hope chauncey billups miracle worker. That's kind of what it when it comes down to. I mean and look neil. O'shea the gm they're kind of gave up signals that this was the coaching issues rather than roster issues. Now i think we both probably disagree with them. That there's some serious risk there but the press conference to announce the right after the firing of terry stotts i. He did say that. It seemed like he believed there. Were coaching issues more than roster issues there. So maybe believes that chauncey billups led team is going to be better defensively. it's gonna make them better overall. I just don't see it. I think that if you're if you're going to make a change it's going to have to evolve cj mccollum there's really no two ways around it. I agree and you know. Listen you'll shake and say it was more about coaching personnel. That's a somewhat self serving message for gm to provide fine. I don't think damian lillard probably sees it that way he set is much says much. I said i was listening to this conference. Call where he's like. Yeah i don't know how you can look at this roster and say as a championship roster. He's not wrong. Which is which is rough. But it's true so yeah. Clock is ticking clicking sticking more loudly today than it was last night and will continue to so. I'm very curious to see what happens next for the blazers. Because something's gotta move anybody your like your day to day three guys. You're looking at them and schroders an easy answer for this. Because he's probably one of the biggest names left on the market. Do you have anybody else out there. That you're i mean a couple of lingering things like i don't know if carmelo is a difference maker at this stage but mark stein reporting that it's bc's these look at the lakers and knicks stein. Also patty mills is picking between the warriors lakers and nets. I think mills is a really nice player to have on your bench for one of those teams who having an excellent excellent olympic cycle. Not that that matters. Because ricky rubio plays like an mvp in every olympics but excellent bush. Really these olympics. I think by the curiosities are more about guys. We're not free agents. It's more of weirdest kemba get rerouted. Where does ben simmons land were to. Cj mccollum land if cj mccollum doesn't lead anywhere. Does that mean that daimler instead doing somewhere because it means they couldn't do anything and by the way quite an extension yet..

"Right in that range and then it's got the escalator language. So if you could somehow makes all NBA team or anything like that, then he bumps up to that full 207, which is the Trae young that's where Luka doncic will be. So, yeah. So I think that's wrong, you know, a pretty good, you know, spot for them to be there and then they re-signed Mike muscala. That was a little bit of a surprise, but they've always liked him. There. They like that, he's dead. You know, that big in there to work with their other young big, so like Alexi books schefsky and those guys. So, I'm just remember if it was one of my, it was one of my favorite like, just offer stated tweets of the night, it just popped back into my head. That when the mic was small thing came across. I remember my tweetdeck is just, you know, going berserk, right? Like a, cuz there's so much going on and I just saw just enough of yours. I think he tweeted something like, like, in response to Mike muscala. You just tweeted like, I mean, okay, or whatever. Like, I guess, I guess that's something like, like that, where it's like, yeah, that's that is it? That's the reaction to Mike muscala, right? They already traded Moses Brown, and Al Horford out. They they added off waivers in case anybody forgotten that had happened in a salary dump from Utah and then Kemba Walker clearly on, they added him. We'll see if you know, maybe one of these teams that misses out on a point, guard gets a little more often. You're sitting Kemba Walker, you know, potentially in a trade as of right now, I would guess know you would that, but you do have the Knicks everything that they did other than resigning, Derrick Rose. They did not add a point guard, okay? Other than Derrick Rose. So you know, let's see what the next few on day two. They've got about seven million more in cap space so that could be targeted at one of these guys who hasn't been signed yet. But yeah well we'll see when we get there Portland Trailblazers their big deal was resigning Norman. Powell five years ninety million so big chunk of change for Norman Powell but don't get robbed. Yeah, refer to as that. Now the Duncan Robinson deal but they added that Macklemore from the Lakers. Like I'm going to be a minimum contract, they're dead. He was going to get squeezed out by think more Shore, things in L and LX. Yeah yeah. That's that's exactly a Wayne Ellington, you know. Yeah we'll talk about we get the Lakers but that's what happened job. But I like that for Portland, they needed somebody who could, you know, knock down some shots and then they added Cody Zeller, he's going to be there new backup, big my guess is they're moving on from enes Kanter? So Zeller world team team up behind Jusuf nurkic there and then they lost Zach Collins. Well, we're going to come back to that one. Yes, we're getting that one. We're going to finish with that verse but yeah, yeah, all right. That's perfect. Well, you should now and I'll go on a rant that's going to be fun to go here. So yeah, I mean, I don't know that any of these moves are get Damian Lillard saying, you know, let me know. You'll be a buy more real estate here in Portland and eventually you'll lock down even further. But you know, it's a start at least you'll.

"Are in the all whites tonight, the old traditional home uniforms. Trip to maroon and yellow. And be Baca just tells me it's kind of like a The Blazers are like, if you know what the Oregon Beavers colors look like, that's what they're working tonight, So it's like Brown trimmed in orange. And light blue and like a yellowish, It's a bad color combination of its, um I mean, whenever you involved Brown I mean no offense, but I wish I knew the story behind it. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's for sure. Oregon beavers colors. It'll be Nicola Yokich against use of Nurkic at the mid court circle. Member needs one more win and advance. To the second round. Here you go, and Portland trying to fight for their window, celebrating the unique beauty of organs landscape as well as acknowledging the tribal nations throughout the region. Wow, Katie's on the Google Machinery. Nuggets win the tip. They move it love to write, and we Are Underway. Composite will take the early three that one short. No good rebound comes down to C. J. McCullum. McComb gets it across the timeline. Portland moves right to left, kicks it out in the corner to Norman Powell and that three pointers up and in If he has a night like he had a couple games ago in Portland. The Nuggets are going to be in trouble. So know where he is. At high left side is the coal Yokich lobs it on the elbow over to Aaron Gordon back behind him, Porter three. Tied up at three points of peace. Michael Porter Jr answers They're curled that screen really well, too, had Powell on his hip and got the shot off. My right side of C J. McCollum. Hands it off behind him to Damian Lillard left side now back over to McCollum McCombs one on one with Jochen crossover along, too. That was good. 53 is a score so Portland off to a much better shooting start than they were in game number five. Apostle has up behind the three point line. Whips it on top to Nicola Jokic. Yo, get you over the porter head fake on a wing jumper against Damian Lillard. He pulls him up back him down, leans in baseline as its script out of his hands on the steel. Norman Powell. I left side back over to C. J. McCollum McCollum as it against border. Step back three. That one's too strong rebound, tipped and grabbed by Austin rivers. Rivers has it up The left sideline for Denver Nuggets down 5 to 3 top of the key to Nicola Yokich. He's inside the Ark. Hands it off the border. Open three. This time that one's good, and that guy is so smooth 6 to 5, Denver's first lead of the ball game. There's Damian Lillard. Guarded by Austin rivers at the logo on the high right side. It's a pick from use of Nurkic and he throws it away way. Nobody home. I think he was looking for Norman Powell there, but nobody was there. Yeah, he was expecting Norman Powell to fill up their sins. Nurkic was rolling to the basket. That's the proper rotation on that weak side, and Paul was in the corner. Composite has it has this pass deflected and stolen. Loose ball down to Robert Covington Bounce past top of the key to use of nerdish. Hands it out behind him over to Norman Powell. Head fake right side over to Covington and traveled start this drive. Good on Michael Porter Jr. They're being down and ready to defend. I don't think Covington was expecting that type of pressure from M P. J. Denver basketball coming back the other way nuggets leading by employing Yoka Chaz on the high left side over to Michael Porter Jr. Back over to yoga. She goes baseline. Cut off by Nurkic brings it back out to the wing starts. Posting them up again. Beats him, Runner! Good Not gonna count. Offensive foul on Nicola, you focus. What happened here, Katie? I don't know if you call that, like basically nerve, had his hand stuck in Nicole Ukip's arm, and Yokich tried to chicken wing them a little bit there, but like, let them just go to work down low and be physical. Lillard High right side over to McCollum Baseline floater banks up and in Portland back in the lead by one 7 to 6. Denver basketball the other way composite hazard on the elbow. He goes to the left hand gets to the dotted line jump past behind him over to Austin Rivers. Rivers has it against CJ McCullum. Yeah. Shot clock at nine floater in the paint that one's up and in for Austin rivers when he's aggressive. His game is so much better, and that's exactly what the Nuggets need from him, especially when he tries to attack early on. It's better for Denver's offense agree Damian Lillard hazard on the high left side. It's a blow by on quarter in the layup is up and in Portland back and then in the league, so these two teams exchanging blows. Gordon got loose got shoved in the back, and that will be a foul against Covington and Denver basketball on the side here unless they decided to give him free throws. Well, they are so that'll be free throws coming up here for Aaron Gordon. You can see early on to cause the Portland Trail Blazers are specifically trying to seek out whoever Michael Porter Jr is guarding. And get some sort of switch onto him. So he's guarding the ball handler or get who he is guarding in an advantage situations that they can get a shot off because they feel like Michael Porter Jr is the weaker defender. Here. They're going to look to go at him early and often in this game. Lord coming off of a double double 14 12th career postseason double double. The other was in the first game for Orlando Back in 2000 and 19, and here comes Portland the other way, were scored up at nine points apiece and a foul called by composite. So they let him play in the last game. So now this is the part. Katie will you got to kind of figure out how they're going to officiate this game, right? Yeah. You got to get a feel for what they're going to call. Here and I think At least most refereeing cruise cause and correct me if you think I'm wrong here, but they'll call it tighter to start just so the game doesn't get too out of hand Early on. It doesn't feel too physical early on, and then they maybe loosen things up. As the game continues other than Game one True that was a totally different scenario, but again like they I think they felt like it got out of hand. And then they had to call a bunch of stuff. I.

Thrilling Raptors and Celtics series heading to a game 7
"I want to switch gears. Now to the Toronto Raptors game versus the Boston Celtics obviously, it was gained six I really thought the Celtics were closed. One out. There are a lot of questionable calls this game specifically at the end of regulation there was a no call on a Kemba Walker left and I was clearly a foul, the Raptors one, one, twenty, five, the one, twenty, two in. A double overtime game to push this series to seven games. The best player was Kyle lowry man played fifty three minutes got thirty point three, hundred, thirty, three points, eight rebounds six assists absolutely incredible employed twenty-one Norman Powell had twenty three. He had a big and one after a steal one of the big places the game on the Boston Celtics side Marcus Smart. Twenty three he's been electric lately. Jaylen. Brown continues to improve after that bad game two games ago. He's at back to back bounce back game thirty, one points, sixteen rebounds and two assists Tatum at twenty, nine and fourteen and nine almost twenty nine point triple double ties with eighteen and seven Kemba. Walker was really the only no show for the Boston Celtics, tonight. At Five, points seven assists to eleven from the field and fifty one minutes. Only five points that's abysmal for Kemba. Walker. Especially going into team that I don't really necessarily think somebody that can guard him a guy like, Caldera. Maybe for advance leak got the assignment a couple of times and a couple possessions I understand that but I don't know. Big Win for the Toronto Raptors I really do believe this game simplicitas if I told you from the beginning of the series of toss up obviously the Celtics went up to all Toronto responded to go to tie it to to Boston got a big game five victory I thought that would really seal the series I thought the Celtics would win tonight the close up at the rafters just won't quit man they won't die one of the scrappy EST teams in the NBA. One. Of the best defensive teams than the to hold a team to what only one hundred and what twenty two points in double overtime keep in mind in double overtime. That's impressive. That's playing. Basketball essentially more that's playing what? No about five quarts of basketball the hold somebody to one hundred, twenty, two points is impressive stuff. Can they get it done and gained seven? I'm not sure I'm still going to have to take the Celtics I. Think the Celtics probably should have won this game I thought for a majority of the game. They were the better team and again that no call and Kemba Walker at the end of regulation was a brutal. No call I thought two free throws, and then obviously maybe Toronto a game winner I game tire and not sure. Again Kemba Walker should have gone two free throws at the end of the game. My opinion was a close one but all is fair in love and war the referees for pretty much every game are always going to be considered bad right. Every single playoff game fans are going to have a disagreement with it but specifically, that can no call that was poor that was a bad call.

NBA Storylines Down the Stretch
"Doris Burke is an NBA analyst for ESPN so doors the All star break is over and NBA. Games are back. We wanted to talk to you. About what surprised you so far this season. And how you see the last couple of months shaping up as we enter the homestretch before the playoffs. Let's start in the East right where there is an unequivocal number. One team in Milwaukee they have the best record in the NBA and they are destroying teams winning by an average margin of victory of more than twelve points per game now of the eleven teams that have had a double digit margin of victory over the course of a season. Eight have gone on to win it. All Doris. Is there something that stands between Milwaukee and the NBA Finals? Yeah this is a great question. So in their eight losses the one thread that is consistent throughout those are teams are averaging sixteen point nine threes and philosophically. Their priority is protect. The paint. First and foremost they are so elite. At that that we have not seen this kind of rim protection in the modern NBA. With the possible exception of Spurs team that had both Tim Duncan and David Robinson but the fact of the matter if a team gets hot and really can create shot opportunities then. I think that they can be beat. The other thing that happens is your and you saw in the All Star game. Jaanus is the first player to go twenty five and eleven back to back all star Games but he was over to note points in the fourth quarter because they did playoff teams. We'll do they set up a wall and they said somebody else is going to beat us so well. No one's really doubting the bucks at this point. I think there is still a lot of skepticism about the number two seed in the east the Toronto Raptors. I mean after losing finals. Mvp Kawhi Leonard. They were not seen as favorites coming into this year yet. They have the same record right now that they had at this point last season doors one hand the raptors have been under five hundred against winning teams but on the other they had a lot of. Are we underestimating them? While I'm definitely giving them punchers chance to get to the Eastern Conference finals and a punchers chance to come out in the past historically particularly when Demar Derozan Kyle lowry. Were on the team together. What we knew was they understood how to win in the regular season but they're always seemed to be this level of doubt in their minds when the calendar turn to April but the fact of the matter is. They changed that a year ago with championship. There is a different feel a different presents a different countenance about the entire group and yes unequivocally the record versus plus five hundred versus minus five hundred is concerning but let's remember that their top six guys including Serge Ibaka. Who's having the Best Year of his career? Kyle lowry Markelle Saul Fred Van Bleed. Norman Powell Pascal them. All six of those guys have missed at least ten games so I don't know that we have the clearest picture the other thing working in their favors they have one of the best coaches in the league. Nick nurse wears that head coaches mantle with ease. Why because he's been calling the shots for the vast majority of his career. In any number of circumstances his creative he's fearless. He's a little bit irreverent. And I'm telling you mean ah I give them a punchers chance to get to an east finals and a punchers chance to get out. Did you see this coming at all? Doors not even close and this is the question really ultimately. Do they have enough offense in what you're seeing is to me. What appears to be this grooming of Pascal? Ceac him of all right. You gotta go get your own in those minutes and a playoff circumstance where you don't care whether it's a mid range to a fall away jump shot a jump shot under duress of excellent defense. What matters is I need to put the ball in the basket right now because this game is teetering on our control or there's and we've got to have one and you're watching Pascal. Can he deliver in the postseason? He's been excellent in the regular season. I can't wait to see a play out. I think it feels right now. Like you've got the bucks in a tier of their own and then you've got the raptors celtics heat kind of swirling around each other. There was a feeling ahead of the trade deadline that the heat could vault to that number. Two spot perhaps even contend with the bucks if they really went all in and added Gala Nari. They didn't they did add Igwe Dolla. Do you think that's enough? You know the the last prism through which I saw. Andre Gonzala was a man who was battling an Achilles in the playoff series and seemed to be showing the signs of some age. But what I know. Unequivocally is this man from a basketball intellect standpoint. According to Kerr is one of the smartest in the history of the League. He has got championship. Dna He's got positional versatility on the defensive end that basketball intellect and the ability to process information quickly and to do it under the spotlight of the playoffs. He has all of that. I'm anxious to see how he changes the dynamic the Miami Heat. You know this. They're going to play hard defensively every single night. They're going to mix in one of the most effective zones we see in today's NBA and Eric's bolster is outstanding coach. So right now sitting in that fourth spot how far Jimmy Butler can take them. That'll be interesting. Those young guys. Right Duncan Robinson Tyler Hero Kendrick Nunn all those guys who have performed so well in the regular season when the calendar switches. Can you win with them? Let's see
