We may finally get the answer to how many 3s Giannis would have to hit for teams to have to guard him. He’s made three straight to open the game with no Blazer even pretending to close him out. – 10:18 PM

Eric Bledsoe, who hasn’t missed a game this season, is being held out tonight with “left Achilles tendinopathy.” A separate fact that may or may not be related: due to his contract, Bledsoe is the most likely of the new guys to be flipped before Thursday. – 9:36 PM

I know some Portland fans are down about that Norm/Covington trade and see it as purely a financial move, but I would bet the team really values acquiring Keon Johnson. He ticks a lot of the boxes this FO has valued in the past as a young, highly athletic player with HS pedigree – 6:15 PM

Had to do some quick googling for confirmation. Jason Kidd is coaching elsewhere, MCW is in Orlando, John Henson is fishing and the Bucks are the champs. It is still 2022. It wasn’t a dream. – 4:01 PM
