Game Thread 2023-24 Game #11 - BLAZERS VS CAVS - NOVEMBER 15 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM PST - ROOT

Does Shaedon need to stop playing to rest his hand? We're not winning any games now anyway.

 

Bright side: at least this team doesn’t give up wide open uncontested 3s any more. We are 3rd in opponent 3pt% so far this season.

 

How crazy would that be? Simons, Scoot, Brogdon and Sharpe all out due to injuries.

 

He probably should have been sitting anyway. I would think that his thumb has been impacting his shot.

 

Mays and Bouyea starting back court...that will sell some tickets

 

i don't judge this team in wins and losses. my takes are shaedon is really good, walker and camara are steals.

i try not to think about how we wasted all 3 picks this year, i need to see scoot in the roy conversation (top 5) at the end of the year

 

Not having Lillard and Simons has helped a lot with that

 

Ten games into the season no one should be thinking that we wasted any of the picks. Way way too early for that kind of shit.

I don't need to see Scoot in the top 5 of roy voting or on the all rookie team, I do think he'll get there but I won't be panicking if he's not... Shae wasn't and I'd easily take him over Mathurin and Murray, I would also take Shae over Kesler and Williams and hell he might even surpass Paolo in the next few seasons. The redraft of that one will be interesting in a few years.

 

Just because you really want something to happen doesn't mean it will actually happen.

 

Great question. The way I see it, if he could further damage it by playing, he would be out. But it's just a sprain. Yes, they are painful, but young players need to learn the difference between being hurt and being injured. You can play when you are hurt, especially if it is the playoffs. Portland will not be in the playoffs, so having Sharpe play through this should be great for his long term mental toughness. He is doing what the stars do, finding other ways to help the team rebounding, assisting and defending. He is still stepping up. Very impressed with him.

 

Well, I could show you a picture of my wife that would prove this theory incorrect FAMS!

 

Uh hm.... I'm sure you could.

Did you plan to leave yourself that open? Did someone hack your phone my man?

 

I'm by nature a pretty positive guy, but watching this team the last few games hasn't been that enjoyable. Yeah, Im a basketball fan first and would be watching even if we didn't have a team, as I did before the Zers's came into existence.
Im wanting to support the youth movement but man do we miss Brogdon, Simons & Williams. Scoot imo is still; aways away from being an all star caliber player, if he is at all.
