They'll need to use his offensive skill in the paint as well.
After five weeks of painting Michael Jordan’s dominance for public display, NBA filmmakers took a trip Northwest to commemorate one of the legendary teams just a tier under, during NBA TV’s “Rip City Revival” documentary, with the Portland Trail Blazers. FSI’s Chris Broussard said he thinks Portland “has a 10 percent chance of beating the Lakers” in the first round. Just as we are looking at the first round schedule, the national pundits are already talking about a potential LeBron James and Damian Lillard series. Portland mixed up the defenders on him and mixed the nature of the defense, too, The Trail Blazers tried to deny Harden the ball, were aggressive on the ball when he had it, got him to give it up with double-teams and traps and played some zone defense.I believe that sort of defensive approach gives Portland its best chance of winning, because it puts the Blazer defenders into an aggressive, attacking mode.

Those are the creepy words uttered by the sinister Billy the Puppet in the horror movie franchise, It's usually at this point in the movie that we see the disturbing life or death trap concocted by the killer known as the Jigsaw.Sure, we thought this was all just a fictional Halloween movie tradition. The Trail Blazers have played some very good offense during their eight seeding games in Orlando.Portland has shot 47.8 percent from the field over an eight-game stretch and that includes a terrific 41.4 percent from three-point range.But to survive, the Blazers have had to shoot that well because the only thing more spectacular than their offense has been the offense of their opponents.In the last eight games, the teams playing Portland have made 49.4 percent of their shots, including 43.3 percent of their threes.Their defense has been worse than their offense has been good.And how would the Trail Blazers realistically expect to advance in the playoffs while playing defense that is that ineffective?Portland should be able to get past Memphis in the play-in series -- which is heavily weighted toward the Trail Blazers, who need to win one game before the Grizzlies beat them twice.
-- Former Trail Blazer Rasheed Wallace Trent Jr. shared what it's been like as a young player to play alongside Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard. "Damian Lillard is their best player and CJ McCollum is real close and they're a guard-oriented team," added Drexler. But they give up open threes in bunches all the time with their usual defense.Things must change at the defensive end, like it or not. "Dame is gonna get his 25, 30 no matter what but when he focuses on creating more for the big guys and letting McCollum take some of the load so [Lillard] can stay healthy, that's when they reach their peak," explained Drexler.Part of what has made the Lillard and McCollum pairing so successful has been the ability for them to play off one another and play the hot hand.
League: III.2. However, if you ask Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside, Jigsaw's cold hand has found its way into the NBA bubble.Whiteside posted a video on social media of himself getting ready for an ice bath and needless to say, the big guy isn't a fan.This s*** like getting in a Jigsaw puzzle. PST Saturday on ABC and then if necessary their second play-in game will tip-off at 1:30p.m. And of course, Wallace and Wells showed their love and appreciation for Gary Trent Sr. as well, as they shared a few memories with Trent Jr. Wallace and Trent Sr. played together for Portland from 1996-98. "If they trap that ball screen and you have Nurk making passes on that short roll and you have to slide over and play midway in-between - it's either gonna be Melo or CJ shooting that shot... those guys can heat up and light up really, really fast. NBA TV will premier "Rip City Revival" on Sunday at 8 ET, an hour-long documentary on how the Portland Trail Blazers appeared in … It’s Carmelo Anthony,” Trent Jr. said.
