Game Thread 2022-2023 Game #10 BLAZERS @ HEAT - NOVEMBER 7, 2022 - MONDAY - 5:30 PM (PDT) ROOT

[Idog1976]

Man Utah is kind of terrifying in the medium term. How are they 8-3? They have Conley, Sexton, Vanderbilt and Markannen (recently going off is he for real?!) and what about 923802384 draft picks? They are going to be nutso if they are able to parley those draft picks into either a star player or just draft well.

 

[LayneStaley]

Pretty awesome we won the clippers trade.

 

[BankTeller]

Imagine being Sharpe and Walker right now.

This is first year getting to sit on an NBA bench and a game winner/buzzer beater every other game it seems like.

 

[illmatic99]

this is next level clutch with the small-ball lineup

 

[1 Eye Jack]

This has to be one of our deepest teams. So many guys deserve more playing time, Little, Sharpe, soon GP. Guys are going to have to accept some nights it isn’t going to be your night.

body language of Nurk concerns me (arms crossed almost entire 4th quarter). Sorry not trying to read to much into it and hope things stay good this teams chemistry is amazing

 

[Idog1976]

Kinda crazy we got a win in Phoenix and Miami already on this road trip. Just wild. This team is, I'm just gonna say it, the best since 1999. They are already moving pretty deep into my heart and are starting to look like my faves since Porter and Kersey.

Apparently a smiling Josh Hart is potentially sensitive content.

Billups is the best coach in the NBA at using his challenge.

It’s smart to always keep it until the end. A random play during the middle of the game is inconsequential towards the outcome.

 

[Idog1976]

Can't be true... people wanted him benched in this game thread!

I did want him benched because of lack of shooting and I stand corrected! I hope this knocks the cobwebs out a clutch game winner on the road! That hopefully reminds him that he can, in fact, shoot the ball!

 

[Mr. Robot]

that was really ugly, but win is a win, keep winning & improving (offense needs to get improved, scoring isnt that much of a problem, but the way we play offense is, come playoff time it will be a problem if theres no improvement)

 

[Tince]

I still feel funny that Brooke has to make the post-game interview with Hart about Dame. Is she contractually obligated to do so? I am not joking. Why can't she just ask Josh about Josh and not Dame?

She asked 3 questions. She brought up Dame's name in the 2nd question. Doesn't seem so bad to me.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Man watching Billups coach and seeing so many players coming up to him every game and chatting with him you’d think he’d get some players wanting to come play for him

 

[Idog1976]

7 out of the first 10 games isn’t too shabby!!

6 Western Conference teams with 3 losses. Blazers are keeping pace!

Shouldn't we be ahead of Phoenix? We have the Tie-Breaker with them.

Nurk sure looked happy in the postgame.
Nothing to see here.

It seems obvious to do with Billuos does but I don't think there are any coaches that are as disciplined as a Billups.

"Defense always travels."

man coach said Miami makes it ugly, tonight was playoff type defense so I love these types of games. These are types of games that show you how to win in the playoffs

 

[BankTeller]

Hope game winners make it easier for Chauncey to grill them on this game. Cause holy crap, this must’ve been the most sloppy game leading up to a buzzer beater from the Blazers I’ve ever seen.

How were we never down 20 in this game??

Blow out CHA next game plsss

 

[Cugel]

She asked 3 questions. She brought up Dame's name in the 2nd question. Doesn't seem so bad to me.

But the question was "how does it feel to know Dame trusts you to shoot?" WTF kind of question is that?

 

[MickZagger]

Billups likes his “dudes”

 

[Tince]

Pretty awesome we won the clippers trade.

 

[blazerfan11]

Shouldn't we be ahead of Phoenix? We have the Tie-Breaker with them.

Do the standings you were looking at show that Memphis lost tonight's game? Or does it still show them at seven and three?

 

[Chris Craig]

7-3

So we are in second ahead of Phoenix

Yeah she’s dumb. Not a fan

 

[Tince]

He's not a great shooter, but he does a lot of things this team can really use. I still think he gets traded, but I enjoy him!

 

[blazerfan11]

 

[blazerfan11]

Utah and Portland at the top just like everybody predicted.

 

[illmatic99]

Yeah she’s dumb. Not a fan

so tired of her asking everyone about dame. it's like she doesn't realize that other guys also do things on this team

 

[blazerfan11]

Chuck gave New Orleans the kiss of death when he said they were going to be in the top four.

"We just keep grinding. Keep grinding, man. That's what we do..."
-Coach Billups.....
I believe him.
