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: The host's 'most intriguing lineup' pick is Lillard ('Damian Lord'), Jrue Holiday, Toumani Camara, Deni Avdija and Robert Williams III. He thinks these are potentially the Blazers' five best players, and he calls the group their most balanced and best lineup. at 27:13
- Mike Richman: The host thinks the Lillard– Jrue Holiday pairing is the Blazers' best mix of shooting and defense at guard. He says Scoot Henderson might grow into that role, and he doesn't think Morant will become a special shooter. at 28:13

- Live show: Henderson is expected to come off the bench and play with Jrue Holiday. The answer was "Seems like it". at 12:51
- Jrue Holiday (reported): Live show: asked about his camp MVP, Jrue Holiday reportedly named Henderson. The speaker misspoke as "Scoot Holiday" and was corrected. The speaker was unsure of the timing. name not confirmed at 19:39
- Chauncey Billups (reported): Live show: a speaker recalls Chauncey Billups saying he'd talked to Jrue Holiday about Henderson, and Drew answered "I got him." The speaker says mentoring Henderson was why the Blazers brought Holiday in. at 20:35

- 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

- ESPN ESPN · Report ·
Holiday is out for Friday's preseason finale against the Warriors due to right hand soreness.
- Podcast Locked On Blazers · 3 points ·
- 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: 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
