Great start to the trip 👌🏾👌🏾 pic.twitter.com/cssot3sFaE – 1:29 AM Jason Quick @jwquick
Justise Winslow played 20 minutes in his Blazers debut and looked like he could help. He’s strong, made smart passes, and showed he can defend. He was one thing worth talking about in a 137-108 loss to Bucks, but oddly wasn’t made available by the team. Bummer for fans. Sorry🤷🏻 – 1:26 AM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Oh, hello there.
We have another Giannis joke for you. 🤣 pic.twitter.com/hC2OTlZeT9 – 1:12 AM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

Looked like the Bucks might play sloppy enough to let the Blazers back in this one, but a couple buckets and everything looks fine.

We may finally get the answer to how many 3s Giannis would have to hit for teams to have to guard him. He’s made three straight to open the game with no Blazer even pretending to close him out. – 10:18 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

Chauncey Billups says there’s no word yet on whether the three new guys will be able to play. Still waiting on league approval. Even once it’s final Keon Johnson would be out with an ankle injury. The other two (Winslow+Bledsoe) Billups says he’ll play if he has them. – 8:20 PM Jay Allen @PDXjay
Chauncey Billups says he’s not sure yet if new Blazers Eric Bledsoe, Keon Johnson, and Justise Winslow will be available for tonight’s game. Waiting on final league-approval on trade; physicals for all players involved etc. – 8:20 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU

I know some Portland fans are down about that Norm/Covington trade and see it as purely a financial move, but I would bet the team really values acquiring Keon Johnson. He ticks a lot of the boxes this FO has valued in the past as a young, highly athletic player with HS pedigree – 6:15 PM Dan Savage @Dan_Savage

Will there be more or less than 3 dunks in tonight’s game? – 4:04 PM Kane Pitman @KanePitman
Woke up and the first thing I saw was Greg Monroe getting shots up in a Bucks uni.
Had to do some quick googling for confirmation. Jason Kidd is coaching elsewhere, MCW is in Orlando, John Henson is fishing and the Bucks are the champs. It is still 2022. It wasn’t a dream. – 4:01 PM
