Deni Avdija joins 2006 LeBron James as the only two players to have 30/10/5 in their playoff debut

It’s getting overshadowed by Wemby hype, but he absolutely showed up. If only they had some shooting help, they could steal a game or two.
Blazers have insane shooting variance. Probably game 3 or 4 they go fuego and steal a game. Then they bow out.
Really wish Lillard could’ve contributed this post season, would be interesting
I was suprised he played so well, Deni shining
Our shining star of david
Dr J also had a 30/10/5 in his first NBA playoff game, nearly 30 years before LeBron and now Deni.
But yes, I know what you are thinking: what about his first ABA playoff game, as wouldn’t that be more in spirit of the fact? Well he also had a 30/10/5 in his first ABA playoff game as well. So he really accomplished the feat twice in two different leagues.
Lowkey ethically
If Portland gets Giannis…..It’s gonna get scary
It only seems fair. Milwaukee had their chance at a Dame-Giannis pairing and couldn’t make it work. Now Portland gets a turn.
Giannis is not going to want to go from one small market to another small market. Especially one of the other side of the country.
He probably doesn’t want to go to the west either
I genuinely have no idea why anyone thinks this
The owner could just give him time on his private jet if it’s that important.
Dundon would give him Greyhound bus tickets
You don’t know the Blazers owner…
The dude is the cheapest owner in the league by a long shot. He wouldn’t even pay for two-way players to travel with the team to San Antonio for the playoffs.
Giannis doesn’t seem like the type to care about “markets”.
Portland could get him while keeping Deni, Clingan, Jrue, and Dame (2 guys Giannis has played with). No way Giannis’ agent isn’t considering that
Plus Portland could give them their picks back and an their own plus an Orlando 2028. They have a competitive package.
They need shooters. Giannis is not a shooter and he and deni share the same space on the court. It’s a redundancy. And the cost for an old injury prone Giannis is going to be high.
Giannis on a team without shooters? That’s…not a recipe for success
Fuck that, we’re good
We have no shooting and I wouldn’t want him even if we did. No thank you
Blazers fans already saw that he doesn’t play nice with others
He’s also carrying while the Blazers supporting cast is non existent.
While playing in a phone booth!
Get this man some shooting and space the floor, and he’s a top 10 player in this league.
They gone do something next year
Doubt it

He dropped a real bomb on em
hebron james
basketball has gone too far
Empty stats
you did not watch the game
As if watching the game will give me an exact number of how valuable Deni is. What am I? A coach?
Lmao
