Micah Nori’s new-look Blazers offense 🔍
One of the clearest early traits: Portland is using its centers as offensive hubs. It’s the same shift Mike Brown brought to the Knicks last season, using Karl-Anthony Towns as a passer. Last season, the Blazers leaned mostly on spacing and guard creation.
Example vs. Sacramento 👇
- Starts with an away reject and a cut by Damian Lillard
- Williams sets a ball screen for Ja Morant (roll and replace)
- Lillard catches and hits Williams flashing to the elbow
- Williams flows into a handoff for Morant (diagonal zoom action)
- Morant drives, the defense collapses, kick-out to Toumani Camara for a wide-open three

Broncos QB Bo Nix, on the state of his ankle and his recovery and return from the injury: "Let me see how to explain this: I've told y'all several times I'm all the way back. I feel really good. ... But I think when you go back and you look at a whole -- when you start from scratch in the offseason, when you go all the way back and you re-do it and you get ready for what is coming up in February, you're training looks like, sort of like a mountain. You're gonna climb and you're gonna peak at some point. I don't wanna be peaking until the playoffs. I don't want to be peaking at my best (until then) because you can't hold it the whole entire season. If you look at a training block, if you look at physical preparation, the guys that can build and grow and get to the peak -- which is the playoffs -- December, January, February, if you can get to that point and you can hold it, you'll feel really good and so, right now, it's like my freshman year in high school. I wouldn't say Week 4, was I exactly what I was Week 14 going into the semifinals and about to play for the state championship. My third year at Auburn, I would say the same thing -- I was peaking, and then unfortunately, I did get hurt at the end of the year. But for me, it's all about what's next, and for right now, we're in Week 6 going on 7. I feel as good as I've felt -- actually, I just spoke to our strength coach, I'm hitting better speeds than I have since being here. So, maybe I should have said that; that would have answered your question pretty easily. But I feel great and I think it's just important y'all understand the process of what it's actually like to go through the season getting your body ready for a 21-, 22-week season where you're playing elite teams week after week. So, I feel great, and I feel like each week I'm gonna continue to get better and better, and I'm exactly where I want to be."
