Trail blazers vs warriors

The In their four years since reaching the Western Conference Finals, the Blazers have been a bottom-five defense in every season. In that 2018-19 season, Portland ranked 16th in defensive rating, which isn’t spectacular, but is far better than the showing in recent seasons. That 2018-19 team played the Green will be a free agent this summer if he opts out of his deal, and Assuming Damian Lillard stays in Portland (which may not be a safe assumption at this point), Portland desperately needs to add defensive help around him. The Blazers have ranked 27th, 29th, 29th and 28th in total defense Green will almost certainly stay with the Golden State Warriors, but he can become a free agent if he turns down a $27.6 million player option. A 2021 It would be surprising to see Green leave Golden State, especially on his own accord. However, Green may be looking to cash in for his final major contract, and the Warriors may not be willing to pay the price. Green also began the season feuding with teammate Jordan Poole, who was given that lucrative extension a year ago that Green is seeking now. Should the marriage between Green and the Warriors end, the Blazers should at least consider the possibility of giving the four-time NBA champion a call.

Golden State Warriors (31-30) vs. Portland Trail Blazers (29-31) Still riding the high of Damian Lillard’s historic 71-point performance against the Tonight’s challenger, the seventh-place Warriors, stand just 1.5 games ahead of Portland in the standings.

Hey, are you a Bay Area sports fan who believed in the Who: Golden State Warriors vs When: Friday, October 15th, 2021 @ 7PM PT How to Watch: NBC Sports Bay Area How to Listen: 95.7 The Game Injuries: Warriors: Klay Thompson (out, Achilles), James Wiseman (out, knee) Blazers: Damian Lillard (out, rest), Anfernee Simons (thumb, out), Nassir Little (hamstring, out), Cody Zeller (nose, out) The Warriors haven’t lost this preseason. If they want to close their exhibition games out with a perfect record on the eve of the 75th anniversary of Golden State hoops, they’ll need to knock off the winless Portland Trail Blazers. A big part of the reason they’re struggling to rack up wins may have something to do with their defense. Here’s an update on that, from our blog buddies at The Blazers are pretty good at the point of attack. They’re adequate after the initial pass following, as their first rotation is usually crisp. After that, they’re hopeless. They seem to have no idea how to adjust as a team after that initial defensive move. One more pass yields an open three for the opponent. If the Blazers close, one pass after that yields a dunk. And all that happens when the Blazers were trying on defense. Phoenix got a disturbing number of dunks and alley-oops out of their halfcourt offense in this game...literally the easiest shots imaginable. This should never happen against a team with defensive backbone, particularly when the same team is giving up open threes. If the Blazers are no...
