we woke up today after watching the blazers have their worst win of the nba season over the sacramento kings in overtime. portland was bailed out by a late foul call that put deni at the free throw line at the end of ot.
a frustrating game to say the least, the blazers blew a lead in regulation, and we broke it all down talking about their problem inbounding the ball
shaedon sharpe had a great game though and so did deni, and portland ultimately pulls out the win.
it's time to vote for all stars! vote for deni and other blazers here:
