  • Mike Richman: Jrue Holiday came in to close the third quarter and hit three threes to keep the lead in double digits. at 5:03
  • Mike Richman: With 1:50 left, Jrue Holiday replaced Ja Morant. Portland played three possessions (two defensive, one offensive) with Lillard, Holiday, Camara, Avdija and Clingan. These were not offense-defense swaps. at 15:40
  • Mike Richman: Host opinion: Lillard-Holiday-Camara-Avdija-Clingan is "perhaps" the Blazers' best lineup. at 15:57
  • Mike Richman: Host analysis: Jrue Holiday is a massive defensive upgrade over either Lillard or Morant because he can switch and guard multiple positions. at 16:47
  • Mike Richman: Jrue Holiday was called for pushing Sabonis down on a box-out and got a technical. The host notes that is unusual for him. at 17:06
  • Mike Richman: The starters scored every fourth-quarter point. Jrue Holiday's three third-quarter threes were the only bench points of the second half. The bench totaled 34 points: 25 in the first half and 9 in the second. at 23:42

  Gavin (inferred) on the Blazers: Deni Avdija had 'highways to drive down'. Jrue Holiday was a perfect connector. Donovan Clingan finished at the rim and shot threes. Scoot Henderson hit a late-clock three.

  • Mike Richman (reported): Jrue Holiday missed the game with a hand issue. The host says he is apparently fine and the absence was precautionary. at 2:03
  • Mike Richman: Host analysis: Jrue Holiday is key to the team's defensive viability, especially in mixed lineups after the first sub. Robert Williams III is their switchier, better big and probably their best offensive center. at 2:36
  • Mike Richman: Jrue Holiday's block and steal numbers were at a career low last year; the host still calls him a good defender. at 6:35
  • Mike Richman: Scoot Henderson's tough second-quarter shift ended with a foul on a four-point play by a Warriors player and he was taken out. The host says he "kind of got benched" during the 33 meaningful minutes because he didn't play well. He played with the fourth-quarter group because Holiday and Youngblood were out. at 23:12

  • Mike Richman: The host says Toumani Camara has to be on the court late for point-of-attack defense. He says Jrue Holiday, at 36, is no longer fast getting around screens, and Camara is the best on the roster at it. at 8:21
  • Mike Richman: The host doesn't think they can go small with Toumani Camara or Deni Avdija at the five because they could not rebound. He thinks it probably has to be one of the bigs and probably can't be Holiday. at 8:41
  • Mike Richman: The host thinks it is fairly easy to get Scoot up to 28 minutes, because they can play a lot of three-guard groups with Jrue Holiday at small forward. The real question is who closes. at 14:46

  • Mike Richman: Portland changed its starting lineup against Sacramento: Scoot Henderson started in the backcourt with Damian Lillard, so Morant and Jrue Holiday were the two guards off the bench. at 4:12
  • Mike Richman: The host found a five-man group of Lillard, Jrue Holiday, Morant, Avdija and Robert Williams III the most compelling lineup of the game. He imagines Portland will use it more. at 16:33
  • Mike Richman: After-timeout play: Lillard set a back screen for Toumani Camara, then came off a Clingan screen toward the right wing. The host thinks the play was designed to get Lillard a three, but Jrue Holiday hit Camara on an alley-oop dunk. at 25:08

  • In preseason game one, the first subs at the under-seven timeout were Jrue Holiday and Sidy Cissoko. The resulting lineup was Ja Morant, Holiday, Camara, Cissoko and Clingan. at 16:53
  • Preseason game one: the Blazers closed the first quarter with Holiday (heard "Drew"), Lillard ("Dame", who came back in for Ja after going out on the first sub), Scoot Henderson (who came in late), Avdija and Rob Williams. at 17:23
  • Host analysis: Avdija and Morant are best in the open floor. Camara and Rob Williams can be good transition players. Clingan maybe not, and Holiday probably not, though he won't be terrible. at 15:07
  • Host's shooting assessments: Holiday (heard "Drew") is roughly a league-average shooter and Scoot was slightly below average. Avdija (heard "Denny") started last year above average and ended it well below. at 20:27
