Do the Blazers Have Enough Talent to be Good Defensively?

On the newest edition of the Blazer’s Edge podcast, Danny Marang sits down to talk with The Athletic’s NBA Analayst (and former Milwaukee Buck’s Director of Basketball Research) Seth Partnow about. The duo discusses how to look at shot quality (and quantify it), why it matters, and what to do with it. They also touch on the ideas and schemes behind Portland’s leaky defense.

Returning to the offensive side of the ball, Marang and Partnow highlighted the concept of Carmelo Anthony as a “sin eater” for the offense, whether or not you should be worried about Robert Covington’s shooting struggles, and should the Blazers be taking a look at the young guys on the roster while there are so many injuries.
