Game Thread 2022-23 Game #1 - BLAZERS @ KINGS - OCTOBER 19, 2022 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

Granted ended the game shooting decent from the floor.

Sharpe and Hart are something like 12-17 from the floor. Dame is 5-18.

It's nice to have the wealth distributed.

Bench Nurk and Little… they both trash

 

[blazerkor]

The bad thing about this game was not that Dame and Ant only scored one point per shot (both of them were that inefficient) because they just had bad shooting nights and both of them will only have those every once in a while. The problem is that they're just as bad on D as Dame and CJ were.

Dame and Nurk need to look themselves in the mirror. Both tried to give this game away with their shotty play but thanks to Winslow, Grant and Hart looks like we’ll pull this one out. At this point, Ant looks like a better floor general than Lillard.

Bench points tonight:

Blazers 23
Clippers 0

I love Justice Winslow

 

[julius]

I freakin love Chauncey ball! What a gritty effort!

Game isn't over yet.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Ant wasn't that bad. And Dame had a good amount of assists.

I'm saying they were all below average in terms of offensive efficiency. 48 points on 49 shots, while the rest of the team scored 63 on just 39 shots.

The point is that this team may, in fact, actually have enough quality depth that they can win games without being so dependent on its top 2-3 players, and that's a good thing.

Just curious, what does the Clippers bench have to to with anything?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

They took an assist away from Dame

 

[MickZagger]

I’d rather start Watford and live with that over Nurkic

 

[Strenuus]

If this team fucking trades Hart....

You can go find another team since you have nothing good to say the last few years for this team?

Definitely

HCP-KS beef. Best to just ignore it and move on.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Dame and Nurk both being off and had enough other weapons to win? Wild.

Did you watch the fucking game. Yeah, the Kings ran a lot more guys at Dame when he initiated the offense but Ant didn't get 9 assists and only had 22 points on 22 shots. I know we expect more from Dame and he'll give us more but let's not make crazy baseless comments.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Bad Dame, Bad Ant, Bad Nurk... and still win? That's not supposed to happen.

Worst win in the history of the franchise!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Wow...Grant even sealed the game with a rebound. I thought he was supposed to not know how to do that.

 

[BlazerBeav]

I will take it! Now beat CP3 please. I hate him.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Blazers tied for the best record in the NBA.

 

[julius]

Too many shots from Simons, but at least it's a W.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

GREAT WIN

We fleeced the Clippers for Winslow

 

[blazerkor]

I said it when we got him and people were talking mad shit but Jeremi Grant is our second best player... he's probably our third best on O but he might be our best on D.

 

[TBpup]

Grant didn't shoot great, but 23/8 is just what Portland needed.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Good job Blazers! Happy they got that win!

 

[maxiep]

Nice win. Some work to do, but a good way to start the season.

 

[blazerfan11]

Grant and Hart turned the game around. Winslow helped with his defense down the stretch.

 

[HailBlazers]

Wow...Grant even sealed the game with a rebound. I thought he was supposed to not know how to do that.

But apparently we're being gaslit @Ed O

 

[Duckhook]

Booyah baby! First of 82 wins this season
