Shaedon Sharpe's Career-Night Leads Trail Blazers to win in Utah

Lessons from Trail Blazers preseason: Shaedon Sharpe needs to play on Day 1: We're talking lessons learned from the Portland Trail Blazers preseason slate which ended at 0-4 against NBA teams with a loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. Here's what we absolutely know: Shaedon Sharpe has to be in the rotation from first game of the season. Portland isn't good enough to chase wins and needs to prioritize development. The rookie has to play. Plus, the defense is still a wreck. Which is a roster problem and a coaching problem. Finally, listeners share their lessons including thoughts on Jusuf Nurkic, Anfernee Simons, Nassir Little and the Blazers social media team. Learn more about your ad choices.

Portland Trail Blazers Take Down San Antonio Spurs for 3rd Straight Win: The Portland Trail Blazers beat the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night 128-112 for their third straight win and fourth victory in five games. The victory kicked off six game road trip with a mostly comfortable win thanks to 37 points from Damian Lillard. Mostly comfortable because the Blazers saw their 19-point third quarter lead dwindle down to four late in the third before Lillard righted the ship and helped the Blazers hold off the Spurs for the double-digit victory. Lillard is good and he is on pace to become the Blazers all-time leading scorer perhaps over the weekend. How about some meaningless stats: The Blazers are 7-3 when Josh Hart attempts three 3-pointers and Portland is 8-4 when Shaedon Sharpe scores in double figures. Those are true, but maybe not exactly meaningful. But they're useful ways to consider some key parts of two crucial role players. Learn more about your ad choices.

Portland Trail Blazers mock drafts + The key to the Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons pairing: It's still mock draft season and it's time to check in on which players are projected to go to the Portland Trail Blazers in the latest mock drafts from around the web. Kentucky's Shaedon Sharpe is a common name in Portland's draft range. Is the 6-6 former 5-star recruit worth the risk even if he didn't play a single second of college basketball? What about if the Blazers jump into the top three of the draft? Is Paolo Banchero an ideal prospect to add to Portand's frontcourt? Let's dive into the data as requested by a listener to figure out the future of the Blazers. What do the numbers tell us about Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons' future together. And how can the team maximize that duo with the rest of their roster decisions in the offseason? Music for Locked On Blazers by Drae Slapz.

Portland Trail Blazers Rally to Beat San Antonio Spurs: Drew Eubanks sparks an ugly win: The Portland Trail Blazers rallied in the final seven minutes to beat the San Antonio Spurs 117-110 on Tuesday night at the Moda Center. Back up center Drew Eubanks came off the bench and sparked the victory on a night that the Blazers struggled until the closing stretch. There's beauty in winning ugly. Good teams find a way to win and the Blazers look and feel like a good team. Finally, a listener asked about the importance of the 20-game mark in the NBA so I dug into the record books to find the best 20-game starts in the Damian Lillard era and how the 10-4 Blazers can chart an important path forward over their next six games.

It's a fun game with simple rules: Should the Blazers draft the player at No, 7 or pass on the prospect altogether.

Portland Trail Blazers beat Miami Heat on Josh Hart Buzzer Beating 3-Pointer: This Team is Clutch: The Portland Trail Blazers did it again. For the second time in three games the Blazers hit a buzzer beater to win a game on the road. This time Josh Hart's three-pointer was the difference, capping a furious Portland rally in the final six minutes. Small ball changed this game and Justise Winslow was the catalyst. The Blazers changed the game in the final 6:15 with a center-less lineup that propelled them to victory. Chauncey Billups deserves a ton of credit for the outcome of this game, and Portland is developing an identity as a team that believes it can win down the stretch of close games.

Trail Blazers Summer League: Shaedon Sharpe's debut ends early + Keon Johnson, Jabari Walker shine in Game 1: Shaedon Sharpe's debut with the Portland Trail Blazers at Summer League last all of five minutes before he left the game with a left shoulder injury. It was a quick and disappointing first night in a Blazers uniform for Sharpe, who could certainly use the seasoning in a five-on-five setting against professionals. Luckily for Blazers fans a couple other young players had impressive opening games as Keon Johnson was Portland's best player and rookie Jabari Walker looked comfortable and competent in his first summer league action. Plus, there were some real takeaways from summer league that will translate into the regular season. Portland's style was on full display in Vegas in some ways that were very telling for how this team plans to approach the real games in the fall. Learn more about your ad choices.

Plus some intel on Portland's pursuit of OG Anunoby and Jusuf Nurkic's future in Portland. The Blazers have worked out a bunch of prospects in their draft range at the team's practice facility, including a recent group workout featuring Shaedon Sharpe and Jeremy Sochan. What do the collection of player's who have come through Portland mean for the Blazers heading into this week's NBA draft. Finally, the Blazers want to be good this fall. That means they have to trade their draft pick. Whether they trade back in the round or out of the draft entirely the 7th pick is their best trade chip and not using it would likely indicate they aren't or can't achieve their goals of being immediately competitive.

How many more games will the Trail Blazers win?: The Trail Blazers lost on Monday night, which you know, mission accomplished. The Blazers played without Anfernee Simons and likely only one future rotation player (Josh Hart) in the lineup so it wasn't much of a surprise that the Timberwolves routed them by 43 points. But seriously they got thrashed by 43 points. It was a beat down that would make other beat downs jealous. If there was a bright spot in the mess it's Brandon Williams, who had a career-high 27 points in his first NBA start. He looks like he can be a contributor at this level. As the Blazers find themselves in developmental dart throw mode, Brandon Williams looks like a triple-18. That's right. Dart references. But all this brings up the question. How many more games will the Blazers win this season with 18 left on the schedule? Thanks to the good people at 538, this show ends with a closer look at win probabilities for each of Portland's remaining games.

Blazers Lose in Atlanta + Trendon Watford's upside + Tank Watch 2022: The Trail Blazers lost to the Atlanta Hawks 122-113 on Monday night. Josh Hart went off for 25 in the first half, Trendon Watford had another nice game, and the Blazers were competitive on the road before fading in the final four minutes. It was a perfect game for this team. Entertaining, close and ended with a loss. Watford had his third straight 20-point game with agains the Hawks, finishing with 22 points, nine rebounds and four blocks. He has taken tremendous strides over the last month or so and looks like he could be a contributor. But that's the question, Watford is playing a role that he'll likely never have again in the NBA. If his role was scaled back by roughly 80% could he still be effective. Probably but that offers a good guide for watching the Blazers rookie the rest of the season.
