Game Thread 2022-23 Game # 11 BLAZERS @ HORNETS - NOVEMBER 9, 2022 - 4:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[illmatic99]

They’re also getting anything they want against us. Put Eubanks and a guard in the pick and roll and it’s free.

no kidding. Ole defense so far.

 

[illmatic99]

is jerami not on the bench?

 

[wizenheimer]

it would be nice if Dame and Ant decided to show up

 

[blazerkor]

Just sloppy ball on both ends and I guess if we didn't know better we could chalk that up to being down two starters but we've been telegraphing passes and not making others with enough intention and we've also seen stretches like this on D where the discipline and effort just isn't enough.

 

[illmatic99]

Sharpe-shooter doing what he does.

50% from 3 on the season now i believe.

get the guy more looks maybe

 

[Idog1976]

Sharpe looks good, but also still a Rookie.

 

[Irish Trader]

Good defense by sharp at the end of the quarter. Moving his feet and staying on the ground not going for ball fakes. This kid is maturing before our eyes.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I like that both Nurk and Drew can hit free throws. I know it’s a little thing but I really don’t like bigs that can’t go to the line.

 

[illmatic99]

nurk sits out, our rim defense goes to shit.

this has been the case for the past few years yet fans fail to recognize all he does for us on that end of the floor

This seems so obvious to me that we need to run plays for him especially cutting plays he usually makes smart passes as well.

He protects the paint as well as anyone else in the league... he might not get the blocks but he doesn't have to in order to keep people away from the rim.

Hornets presently 11-14 from 2.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Got the Dog Pound in there now.

 

[B-Roy]

Nassir turning into a reliable jump shooter was an unexpected development

 

[BlazerBeav]

We still have more weapons and can win this type of game - but HAVE to cut down on the turnovers since we aren't going to get the stops we've been getting.

 

[Idog1976]

Shaedon should get 1.5 pts on that 3 attempt it was at least half down!

 

[B-Roy]

Wow what are the statistical chances of two four point plays in a row?

 

[Shaboid]

Wow what are the statistical chances of two four point plays in a row?

So nuts!

 

[blazerkor]

Four point plays putting us back in this.

 

[Cugel]

ya sure miss Nurk's 12 boards a game.

 

[Idog1976]

8 points in two possessions. Not bad!

 

[Hoopguru]

Dame missed Shae

 

[BlazerBeav]

So many lazy passes. Please stop.

 

[Hoopguru]

Walker still raw

 

[illmatic99]

here come the lazy turnovers again

there's absolutely no rule in the NBA that says you can only have one rim protector

 

[blazerkor]

Extra Sloppy!!!

 

[illmatic99]

ive been saying we need another big behind nurk for a while now.

 

[BlazerBeav]

3 straight passes to no one. Lord.

EDIT: Next one was deflected too, but Dame gathered and scored.

 

[Cugel]

ok play time is over
