we woke up this morning and the blazers have won three of their last four games with two against the sacramento kings and one against the golden state warriors.

they are coming off a loss to the detroit pistons and cade cunningham, who look incredible as they are first in the east and one of the best teams in the nba. so we break down that game as well.

we also touch on shaedon sharpe's dunk against the kings and if he is one of the best in game dunkers of all time (yes we're biased and maybe wrong but damn that guy can jump out the building

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:
