Jannelle Moore (@jannelle12), writer for sites such as @complexsports , @basketbllnews , and San Jose Mercury joined Tara to provide some outside perspective about what is happening with the Blazers.
2:00 Last year’s soft tank, and working Wiseman back in.
4:30 How worried should I be about the Trail Blazer? Only a quarter of the way into the season, coach is still figuring it out, and now maybe the Blazers will get a GM who cares
7:20 You can’t call out the players in public until you know them well enough. That should be done in house, especially at the beginning, with a thirsty press.
9:55 What disengaged looks like
11:10 Players have to try too hard to fit into the new schemes
13:00 The roster hasn’t been changed that much, they should be figuring it out -- unless they are not buying in.
15:00 Did the coach promise too much to too many players?
17:30 Damian Lillard’s injury
19:20 What are the Blazers going to rally around and an unrelated tangent about Enes Freedom.
20:25 The investigation of the GM wasn’t a distraction. Really? Really??
22:20 When the Blazers tried to be more aggressive it took the Warriors only a few minutes to figure it out and break it down.
23:40 Ball movement is important but so is player movement.
25:00 Play style charts on Nylon Calculus
28:15 It seems like the coach might be spending more time coming up with new schemes rather than time on the players who are going to carry out those schemes.
30:15 Olshey didn’t leave them with very good options for the future.
33:00 Why hasn’t the team been sold?
34:35 Help might not be coming for a while.
