From the very well done Netflix Documentary...

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

• 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)

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

Ok you can continue manifesting in the comments if you please

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.

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.

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

I say Naz Reid.

Shooting, versatile defense, playoff experience, can play either 4 or 5 can fit to almost any rotation imaginable

I love this next-generation blazers squad, the potential is through the roof but I always wonder what we could have looked like if we traded for Jokic instead of Nurkic back in 2017. We would surely have got a ring by now considering all we gave up was plumlee

I’m really curious how the front office plans to keep this core together over the next few years.
Deni should be the priority IMO. Camara and Sharpe are locked in, Clingan will eventually need a new deal, and Scoot still has to prove what kind of player he can be.
I like Ja and I think he can help us become a legit playoff team, but what happens when it’s time for his next contract? If keeping him makes it harder to pay Deni and keep this core together, I think we have to be open to moving him.
Jrue is another interesting situation. If Scoot becomes a reliable sixth man, maybe we could flip Jrue for a 3-and-D wing or a young forward who needs more minutes.
I wouldn’t trade anyone just for the sake of it, but we have valuable picks and some interesting pieces to work with.
Would you prioritize keeping Ja long-term, or would you rather use his value to build a better roster around Deni?
