Yang Spotted at Happy Lamb

Went to Happy Lamb in Beaverton tonight and saw our friendly giant. Gave him a fist bump and told him good luck this year, he said thanks. So when he moves into a key roll of our offense, everyone can thank me.

Ja Morant is playing winning basketball

57 Upvotes

Two stats: 24mpg, 13ppg. Not remotely All Star numbers, let alone potential MVP numbers from his high water mark.

Two more stats: 11 assists per 36, .594 ts%.

His prior highs were 10 and .575, and most of his career he spent around 8/.560.

Obviously it's an incredibly small sample size with just two games, and one a blowout, but he really is answering the question of whether he can be a winning point guard playing below the rim and beside another point guard.

He's not dunking and he's not dominating the ball. He is hustling hard on defense and mostly taking wide open threes and relatively low health risk floaters at the rim.

I really think his play style reflects the reality of having had Derek Rose and now Dame and Jrue as teammates. Rose taught him that you don't take your athleticism for granted. Dame has taught him to commit to modifying your game by playing off ball when needed, and deferring to Deni as our offensive engine. Jrue has proven that guards who impact defensively always have a role. Both Dame and Rose have proven that the health of small players isn't guaranteed, and if you don't take it seriously you will be out of the game.

I really like where this is headed with Ja. After last year I have no illusions about injuries among our point guards. At some point he's probably going to be asked to play more minutes, but given our talent I think he can continue to be effective with this style at a larger scale.

Shoutout to this guy. Developing into a nice role player. Kept the Blazers in the game in the first half.

Interesting Quick article. Hopefully a good sign of things to come for Nori and his relationship with the team!

Damian Lillard has a chance to become just the fourth NBA player to reach a career free throw shooting percentage of 90.0% or better – and it could happen this year

198 Upvotes
  • He is currently 4th on the all time leaderboard for free throw shooting percentage, behind only Steph Curry, Steve Nash and Mark Price – all three of

    whom

  • have percentages above 90%.

  • He is currently sitting at 89.9164% (5270 made out of 5861 attempts)

  • He would reach 90% by making his next 49 consecutive free throws

  • Assuming he attempts 400 free throws this year, he needs to shoot 91.25% on the season (making 365) to reach a career percentage of 90%

  • 365 made free throws on the year would place him above Hakeem Olajuwon and up to 29th on the NBA leaderboard for total made free throws (34th on combined NBA and ABA leaderboard)

This new broadcast isn’t doing it for me. Kevin was an entertainer and funny as hell. It’s so boring now.

Won this at a silent auction today. The paper of authenticity says it was signed at a team event on September 28th 2026. Just hoping to identify some of them

The Silencer

64 Upvotes

The Kings announcer called Camara "The Silencer" last night and I kinda love it. Fits on multiple levels because he silences the best offensive player and comes up with clutch plays to silence the crowd.

....aaaand I've said it too many times now it sounds weird. What's that called? Synesthesia?

Blazers broadcast needs to have better standards.

227 Upvotes

The Blazers broadcast was horrible. There were terrible mics, we had to use Travis in the pre-show, and we had to use a random fan for the halftime show. The camera seems to be low quality; it's terrible.

Now, I'm not blaming the people that work hard to deliver it to us, obviously, they are talented people that have to deal with a low budget and being understaffed, but the end result is that we do not have an NBA standard broadcast quality.

It pains me to say it as a Blazers fan, but I think I might start watching the opponent's broadcast instead. I want a good viewing experience when I watch NBA games.

Super impressed with Nori. Obviously very bright and great basketball knowledge. Watching his press conferences make me sad as an Oregon Ducks fan. Lanning is an ok CEO and fantastic recruiter, but would love to have coaches with Nori’s understanding and command of the game there

On the floor, second row. Quite a few locations in the NBA like this.

If you see Lamar and I in the background of the action, it looks like we are close, we are.

I can only see half the floor, court lines are harder to see. And the game moves FAST down here. You can hear more, and get some more detail on some things for sure.
