COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL NOVEMBER 15, 2017 Ball is Life: continued from B1 close games. In games decided by four points or less the team is 2-4. If we throw in the Utah loss, a game the Blazers lost in overtime after a missed game winner at the end of regulation, they end up 2-5 in these close games. All teams have stretches like this because weird things happen at the end of games. But what is poten- tially concerning for the Blazers is that in these games things have slowed down a little too much. As the ball moves a little less and iso- lation play becomes more common, the Blazers have struggled. It’s too early to be full-on worried but the Blazers need to be more mindful of their late game play early on if they are serious about fi nishing in the top four of the West. But despite any late-game strug- gles, the Blazers have positive signs of life that show this team is better than their record refl ects. One area where the Blazers have been absolutely stellar is in re- bounding. As a team they are fi rst in rebound differential with +7.5. The next closest team is the Celtics at 5.5. The Blazers currently have a three-headed rebounding monster of Davis, Aminu and Nurkic who are at 8.3, 8.1 and 7.8 boards per game. And if Swanigan works his way into the lineup, whether this season or in the future, he seems insistent on keeping these numbers up. As the NBA has become more and more three point centric, the Blazers are showing that they can keep up with the best of them. The Blazers are currently fi fth in three- point percentage and are holding opponents to the fourth lowest team three point percentage in the league. Ultimately, the Blazers should be ahead of where they are now. This is not a group that gained a lot of new faces in the offseason but is the same group that fi nished last year with some rookies thrown in. But they can still get there. Dame and CJ are going to get more than 50 points a night and they will see if it is enough to get a win. The Blazers have the pieces to be a winning team. If they put those pieces together they can be a top four team in the West, win a fi rst- round playoff series and then in- evitably lose to the Warriors in the next round. It's going to be a fun ride.
