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

[blazerfan11]

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

I did not watch the post game but if that is what she is doing it's kind of nauseating.

 

[Tince]

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

Lets be honest: The on-court interviews rarely provide deep insight.

After the Phoenix game Dame made a point he trust Ant. After the Lakers game he made the point that he trusts Grant. It is a minor storyline in the early season.

Post game interviews don't mean much to me either way. I liked seeing the crew happy, that's all that I care about!

Cleaning up the turnovers got them this win.

I like the current Utah jazz. It's easy to root for guys like Lauri Markkanen that was traded away by a couple teams especially seeing how mediocre Chicago is right now.

Justise Winslow showing the way.

 

[Wade Garrett]

I mean, his nickname was "Mr. Big Shot"!
He's making a team in his own image.

Game seemed to change when Billups went to Winslow at the 5. I like him at the 5 better than Eubanks or Watford.

 

[riverman]

Few games back Brooke asked Chauncey what he said to Shaedon on the sideline and he said, "I'm coaching him, that's my job" I loved it.

 

[blazerfan11]

I am watching on league pass the Western Conference teams go down one by one.
(Except the Blazers).
Next up: watching the timber pups lose to the Knicks at home.

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?

What does it say about you, that Dame has that trust in you to hit that?

The question was about Hart, not Dame. Maybe a better wording would have been something like "How does it feel knowing that your teammates trust you to hit that?", but the question definitely wasn't about Dame.

Me too.

That actually might be where he can help the team the most.

 

[riverman]

I love that Josh dog Hart got the game winner for the revenge game against Jimmy Butler...it just fits!

Each game is different.
What worked tonight, may not work Wednesday.
Luckily, Coach has a lot of buttons to push.

 

[blazerfan11]

I hope billups learned something from this close win over Miami.
Because most of the game it didn't seem as if he and the team had learned diddly squat from their first loss.

 

[Wade Garrett]

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

It's actually a fucking huge question.
It epitomizes (sorry, big word) the growth of this team, and more importantly shows Damian Lillard can trust his teammates. Like he did when he deferred to Anfernee earlier this year.
It is perhaps the biggest storyline of this entire season.
If you can't see that, then, good thing we got Brooke.

It’s easy for teams to lose their composure and not play the way they game planned against a team like Miami that swarms on defense by bringing lots of pressure and playing the passing lanes. Plus they move the ball well on offense.

Agreed that every game is not the same. I think it's safe to say Eubanks nor Watford will be finishing close games if this roster is healthy.

I don't dislike Eubanks and I actually think he's played far better than expectations; my post was meant as a compliment Winslow (and Billups).

also..... i was SCREAMING at my screen to take a foul while up 3. why do teams STILL not do this

It’s too risky to purposely give up 2 free points. Lots of things can go wrong in that scenario. Trust your defense.

our defense gave up an open corner three

I wouldn’t say that Strus 3 was open by any means

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

I hope so, love to see this chemistry stay strong, winning makes it hard to be upset. I’m always watching players on the bench to see how they handle getting taken of of games and how they handle not playing, so far it’s been good

Those who believe in math, understand that fouling is the right play (if you can).

I wish they would've played off Bam so he was more-or-less wide open. That would've been the ideal foul.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Wait how are we ranked behind the Suns? We have the tiebreaker!

We don’t have the 3way.

 

[oldmangrouch]

There were some definite problems tonight, but they got a come-from-behind win on the road. Well done.

The percentages don't agree with this theory.
