As they should, Raptors are attacking the space Nurkic is giving them in drop coverage and sprinkling in some SIakam spin postups
They’re up 3 at second timeout – 3:56 PM

As expected, Siakam proving to be a matchup issues for the Blazers. He’s got 8 points on 4-5 shooting, most of those at the basket, and Portland calls time down 20-17 with 4:38 to play in the first quarter. – 3:55 PM

Lillard took the deepest 2 possible without it being a 3. But he made it. – 3:53 PM

Lillard absolutely should have taken the wide-open 3 there rather than give to Nurkic. – 3:53 PM

14-8 Blazers. Raptors having a hard time with Nurkic inside. Good news is Barnes has made more field goals in four minutes (2) than he has in any other quarter than the fourth in Raptors last two starts. More assertive vs. Nurkic who is playing way off of him. – 3:48 PM

Scottie Barnes is shooting 29 percent from three so far this season and the Trail Blazers will live with giving him open looks, at least to start. – 3:47 PM

Nurkic is dropping back, just like Turner and Lopez did vs Barnes earlier this week. Scottie’s first touches: wide-open jumpers from the free throw line and from 3. He hits them both. Good to see. – 3:45 PM

Chauncey Billups called London, Ontario’s Shaedon Sharpe “Uber talented”.
Billups on the Canadian rookie: “His skill level is unmatched. There’s just a gracefulness about him that he’s blessed with, that most guys don’t have.” – 2:29 PM

Asked Chauncey Billups about weighing body of work vs the down season Fred VanVleet is having:
“He’s a guy who takes what you give him, he feels the game out and his IQ is incredible. His toughness, his skillset, all those things are really high level, so, he’s a problem.” pic.twitter.com/hzQmYLMaCW – 2:25 PM

Billups on FVV: “He’s one of the guys in the league that could have 8 points & 6 assists and he actually controlled the entire game. The numbers don’t mean anything to me. Freddy is just a winner… So he’s a problem. You have to game plan for him & it’s almost like a chess match” – 2:17 PM

Portland coach Chauncey Billups played with Gary Trent Sr. in Toronto & Minnesota, said he remembers GTJ (or “little G,” as he calls him) when he was in a car seat. “I know the caliber of kid he is. I’ve known him a long time & am happy to see his development… I’m proud of him” – 2:13 PM

The Wolves are currently tied with the Lakers for the 11 seed in the West. But the Wolves could be up to the 8 seed by the end of today if…
Wolves win (at HOU)
Suns lose (v. CLE)
Jazz lose (at MEM)
Blazers lose (at TOR)
Vegas has MIN, CLE, MEM + TOR favored in those matchups. pic.twitter.com/Y5F55N0Ykq – 1:58 PM

A funny Gary Trent Jr. stat I stumbled upon this morning. His FG% on two-pointers that are more than 10 feet from the basket gets progressively worse as he gets more wide open. Gary is at his best when there’s a guy draped all over him 😂 pic.twitter.com/hsAZ3TTasy – 9:45 AM
